The Sicatoka Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Here's more on this issue: https://sayanythingblog.com/entry/ndsu-president-censors-school-song-over-racist-lyrics/ Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Bresciani needed a precedent, a toe-hold. Well, verse three got it for him. Let's see if he goes to eradicate the rest of the questionable songs/cheers from his campus next. Who wants a conference-mate that proudly, loudly, cheers that a "Native tribe creates a negative pressure gradient upon fecal matter" even when that target is not the opponent. In today's PC, high-sensitivity world: nobody. Pass the popcorn please. This could get interesting. 1 Quote

ScottM Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 In related news, someone actually might actually sing the 'su fight song beyond the first few lyrics ... Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I guess it's not just the 3rd verse of "Hail the Bison" that is offensive!! Quote

"On Bison" is the school's fight song, not "The Yellow and the Green". And for what it's worth, i don't even know the first few lyrics of the latter, much less the third verse. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Funny...........68.5% of those responding to the InForum online poll DO NOT feel NDSU should revise it's school song due to its ethnic references. Quote

Heck I didnt even know there was a second. Its nothing more than an out dated term. But I am sure somebody will make a big deal about it just because they can. Quote

Someone already did by reporting it to NDSU and Bresciani gave them what they wanted with his semi-public acknowledgement and reaction. Quote

A sentence in the 3rd verse of a song is the same as a nickname held for years? Nice try 1 Quote

NDSU changing its name back to Farmers would be a close comparison to what happened at UND. Quote
Herd Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 You are suggesting this change is controversial, I am not. You are dragging it to Und's level, I am not. There is no controversy, a change is being made, that's all. 1 Quote

AL Carlson is currently writing a state law to keep all three verses. 1 Quote
