Fetch Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 U know the timing could not be worse for a new name When we win #8 - u think the old name is going to go away If it had been done at the beginning of this yr & than won a Championship with it would have been better odds - I still doubt it would of caught on for a long time There better be a chance to vote to stay just North Dakota Even if we don't win next week after what happened in Fargo was awesome Leave us to be North Dakota & then if u don't like it, just leave us alone Sioux Forever Quote
darell1976 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I hope there is nicknames and NOT an option to remain just North Dakota. If a name is picked after winning a NC so what....the name North Dakota will be there, that name is NOT going away. You can still wear your Sioux gear, yell GO SIOUX, etc, and support the school. Others who will slowly absorb the new name will still wear Sioux gear, yell go UND or (insert new nickname) and most importantly still support the school. I still support Central 21 years after retiring the greatest nickname that school ever had it will be okay, now if die hard Sioux name lovers stop supporting the school just for that reason...those people are not fans at all!! 3 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Fetch, why don't you just go back to talking about a Grand Forks AHL franchise. Because that makes more sense than this rambling post. Quote

Win the NC and move into a new era of UND athletics on a high note. Moveon.org. 2 Quote
Hayduke Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 The old nickname technically is gone. We've just been hauling it around like Weekend at Bernie's. It's time to move on. 4 Quote
Fetch Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Sites like this are for discussion But thinking MoveOn.org is to be admired - Not something I'd ever want to be part of Thinking like that sounds like something Kelly would be 100% behind....google it Quote

UNDBIZ Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Moveon.org is a leftwing political site. I guess we'll have to make this one MoveOn.com. 1 Quote

Fetch Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 I guess some folks are showing their true colors Thinking like this was a big part of why things are like they are Quote
jdub27 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I guess some folks are showing their true colors Thinking like this was a big part of why things are like they are What logo do you think is going to be on the conference title banner that gets hung? Quote
Fetch Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 What logo do you think is going to be on the conference title banner that gets hung? North Dakota... (?) Quote
UND1983 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I guess some folks are showing their true colors Thinking like this was a big part of why things are like they are You need more to do in your life if a nickname is that important to you. Wish I had your kind of time to sit around all day and wax nostalgic about a frickin nickname of a college. I will choose to support the University itself, the one inscribed on my diploma. 4 Quote
UND1983 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Sorry Im retired There's my answer. You got time. Quote
teck14 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Gonna have to agree with fetch on this one. By rolling over you let the NCAA bully over a small school with a ton of tradition that's all tied into the Sioux nickname. In regards to the banner, put the Sioux Logo on every single one of those things...can't wait to hear the NCAA cry over that one... Quote
Popular Post Shawn-O Posted March 31, 2015 Popular Post Posted March 31, 2015 Wasn't there already a lawsuit on this one or am I on glue? 8 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Wasn't there already a lawsuit on this one or am I on glue? This issue died the moment the State of North Dakota signed that legal agreement with the NCAA. I don't like it that the name and logo are gone, but I also don't think it makes sense to keep banging our heads against the wall when we won't make a dent in it. 1 Quote
90siouxfan Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Won't the NC$$ pinch a loaf if the boys skate around with fighting Sioux hats in the gaaaden. Quote
Fetch Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks & I could live with that For a while there I thought maybe MeTV had skipped the second Rifleman & we were in the middle of the Twilight Zone :' ) Quote
