The Nickel Trophy

[JohnboyND7]

The only schools that brag about women's athletics are UConn and the U of Minnesota. What do these schools have in common?

I hate the bye week.  

Can we move on to the here and now and focus on the present and future? 

Talk of the transition gets old really quick.

But then the trolls couldn't talk about when they won a trophy.

Sometimes the "responsible" choice is the wrong choice. That was the case for UND back then. If RT hadn't been both timid and arrogant at the same time, things might be different for the program now.

UND's handling, first of NDSU's DI move, and then of its own, was indeed a series of screw-ups.

Dumb. We should play for it next year and going forward.

Said it will be retired and they will come up with something different. 

That just sucks

They should melt it into a new trophy so at least its the same material.  Boy that would piss people off!  But it would at least make the new trophy more meaningful.

Surely you jest! The Nickel is iconic and politically incorrect. Why would you destroy it?

Because it would probably REALLY piss off the people that wanted us to get rid of the Sioux name.  They didn't want the us to have the name but somehow it would probably be considered disrespectful to melt it down and it would piss them off.

You have a twisted mind. I like it.

There will be a new trophy. People will over think it and come up with some thing crappy like a replicated rock from the 1800's.

It should be the same trophy just replaced with the modern Bison logo on one side and the Fighting Hawk logo on the other.

This perfectly mixes the old with the new and keeps some historical significance in the new trophy.

I thought the marker was stupid until I tried coming up something better myself.

Fairly good idea. Not sure much better is out there.

That works except what made the Nickle trophy special was that at one time there was an actual US coin with a bison on one side and a native american on the other so it does lose some of its uniqueness - still a coin works and perhaps the schools could mint a smaller version as something we could buy.

The original will never be able to be replicated, but keeping the nickel even if it’s different would still have some historical significance. Making up some new thing will have zero significance and will be forced. Sure 20 years down the road it may mean something if they come up with something new, but I think a newer version of nickel is a good option. Something so basic, but I hadn’t thought about just doing that but it makes sense.

SDSU @ NDSU, could the coach Klieman interest elsewhere affect the Bissons performance next week?

Nothing to do with Nickel Trophy, but doubtful.

That being said, I certainly will be cheering on South Dakota State.

[SiouxFan100]

Will SDSU fans be breaking out “Horns Down” at the su game Friday?

What about our game next year?

 

[BarnWinterSportsEngelstad]

HOW BOUT HORNS FALL OFF.

Warning, this could be sensitive.

We used to dehorn the cattle and the blood would squirt.

,

 

A neighbor - CowCawledge guy gave us weights.

Later,  we used them.

lo

After some time gravity took it's course, and then we removed the weights.

HORNS DOWN
