The Sicatoka Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Problem: Reddy doesn't belong to Nodak REC of Grand Forks. He belongs to the NRECA. (Blackhawk logo problems all over again.) Edited November 6, 2015 by The Sicatoka Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Well said http://www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/letters/3876203-letter-fighting-sioux-forever-and-proud-itBeing proud to be known as the Fighting Sioux and always honoring and remembering that tradition is one thing. But there are people that will refuse to move on and acknowledge the new nickname that UND will adopt and will wear Fighting Sioux apparel and yell "Sioux" at games many years after a new name is selected. Those are the "Fighting Sioux Forever" fans that people are upset with. 3 1 Quote
Taz Boy Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 In the event of a Nodak majority vote, Reddy Kilowatt is available and will pick up the phone if UND calls. Reddy Kilowatt make taz laugh. He funny! Happy little lightning bolt bastard. Change his pointy elf shoes to skates, work gloves to hockey gloves, and nose to a goal light and we may have something. And, what's up with the "Hey, I have a great idea!" look? Just because he's got a 100W incandescent sticking out of his face doesn't mean he's always got a great idea. Maybe it involves sticking a metal object in his ear? Hey Reddy, I have an idea too. It's: vote for Nodaks or Fighting Hawks! 1 Quote

But there are people that will refuse to move on and acknowledge the new nickname that UND will adopt and will wear Fighting Sioux apparel and yell "Sioux" at games many years after a new name is selected. Those are the "Fighting Sioux Forever" fans that people are upset with.Why would it be horrible to continue to yell the Home of the Sioux at hockey games? After all, Ralph Englestead built the REA as the home of the Sioux. They still call the store the Sioux Shop. IMO we can cheer using the new nickname, but why can't we yell SIOUX at the end of the NA to honor our past? 2 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 The day the two tribes proved they weren't good neighbors (by not helping) was the day I realized the name and logo was gone and that I would quit wearing it. They were done with us; I was done with them. I really couldn't put a finger on it but I feel the same way...I haven't worn a lot of my Sioux stuff since it was dropped...I'm actually for replacing pretty much every Sioux head around campus with either a hick in overalls, a generic hawk symbol, or a cowboy on a horse when this is all said and done....

I am referring to the rest of games, in all sports, referring to the teams as the Sioux. Sure you can honor the past by yelling Sioux at the end of the anthem, but the players that you will be cheering for have never been a Sioux. they will only have been known by the new nickname. Honor the past, but when cheering for UND in the future, use the new name and wear te new logo. that's all I ask. Edited November 6, 2015 by Siouxperfan7 Quote

Taz Boy Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Folks, further to the point of Reddy as the new logo. Think of the live event mascot opportunities! Talk about a playah. Here's Reddy, cool as a cucumber, jus hangin while yet another couple of tools file grievances against Reddy's peccadilloes with their better halves. Goldy got no game when Reddy in da house. Kil-o-wah'dup Boyeeez! Quote
siouxfan512 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Sure they have never been a Sioux but many of them still refer to them as Sioux. Not saying one way or the other on this argument but just think it's interesting I still see current players and new commits use #Sioux or something similar in their tweets.Particularly in hockey. Whenever the team struggles and they interview a player, they always say, "We need to get back to playing Fighting Sioux hockey". While it completely sucks that we were forced into retiring the nickname for the school, it particularly sucks for hockey. Mainly because that is the sport that had garnered the most national attention when it came to recognition of that nickname and logo. Quote

And that includes student athletes as well. Obviously not going to happen overnight, but it will happen. Quote
