What do you call "fans" that attend no UND events, except maybe a Potato Bowl game every 4 years or so? They deserve a label, too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I do like how they've changed the game day script to use "Fighting Hawks" (<-- I think that's the first time I've actually used that as a name) only in reference to when a penalty has been called. "Fighting Hawks penalty to number ... " < crowd boos > ... so on TV it sounds like the home fans are booing the call. And I agree with the person who said the greatest density of booing is coming from sections 108, 109, and 307-310. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teeder11 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 So can we surmise that the theory it was the students who carried the water for the new FS name during the voting process was,shall we say, off the mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still believe today's students could vote for it (aka against the alternative) and yet still boo it because of what it isn't. As a matter of fact that would surprise me none. Because if it wasn't the student constituency that voted it in, I'm left to believe the unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about basketball? Did you go to the game in Fargo vs. NDSU? Just curious. EDIT: I guess I did specifically address you in my previous post in this topic. Questions above still stand, though.

I went to a hockey game last year, this year hasn't worked out due to my son's basketball schedule to go, same with basketball and yes I go to the games in Fargo when UND comes to town. When I don't go I watch/listen to games on tv, radio, and Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There's nothing else there." Sure Ed, just like the Sioux fans chanting "Sioux Forever" last season were only doing so to honor the last group of seniors to wear the Sioux jersey... It"s simply amazing how in line our leaders are to the nararative of the agenda. But I do love how they are failing to accomplish their final act-shaming Sioux fans. "Support the student athletes" is about all they have left.. Really?? I think most of the atheletes are all about the Sioux name, or they don't really care... comon, were going to make victims out of the atheletes over the name now? REALLY? Remember, A name is what you call yourself. Go Sioux! The football and basketball teams care about the new nickname, just saying 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a majority voice against the new nickname and the push to return to the Sioux name. The name isn't coming back, we are the Fighting Hawks until the NCAA removes their policy, or UND leaves the NCAA, so might as well start to accept the new name. You do realize a Fighting Hawk logo will appear in the REA, the Betty, the Alerus, and all other UND buildings. UND does gain control the the Betty and REA in 14 years. (Sept 30, 2030) For charitable tax reasons -- to prove the property valuable -- Engelstad's lease agreement with UND, however, state's he can own the facility until Sept. 30, 2030. http://und-fraud.com/UND/Campus/Arena/engelstad_arena.htm Well, I never thought that wacky website would get cited here. I'm quite surprised it is still up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a pejorative that the Mens hocky fans have more stock and investment in the name. Persecuting hockey fans for a differential in their passion for the Sioux name is both asinine and shows a complete lack of understanding of the value of a nickname. Perpetually on these forums hockey fans get chastised by fans of football, basketball, etc...for their comitment to their name. When in reality the supporters of those sports who do not have the passion for the hockey program should have a respect for the situation Sioux hockey fans have had to endure. The Sioux name is the identification of a world renowned hockey program steeped with history on a national level. And the attack on our name has been both unacceptable and horrible. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when in my post did I say anything about hockey fans, all I said was that the football and basketball teams care about the new nickname, u stated in that previous post that most student athletes are all about the Sioux name or don't care, which in my opinion is not true, btw I am a notre dame football fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
