Popular Post Hayduke Posted May 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2018 Wow. This issue has lived a long life. I cheer for UND. I don't like the nickname or the logo, but it is what it is now. I accept it because it will not go back. So, I cheer for UND. If they are the Fighting Hawks, I say, "Go Hawks, Buck the Fison!" Again, I cheer for the University of North Dakota. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davlun Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 The logo and name are the biggest disaster in UND history. Now throw in a mascot and we are the laughing stock of college sports. It's too bad our administration has to cater to the politically correct world. Not sure who runs our asylum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you just pretend reality isn't happening all around you and all the FH logos you see are part of some alternate world that you're dropping by in? You pretend that the settlement never happened, the FS nickname and logo was never retired and the items that they still sell with the FS logo don't have "Dacotah Legacy Collection" on them? I'm very curious on how one chooses not to accept reality. It's pretty easy. Just throw on my Fighting Sioux sweater, go to the game and see thousands of other Fighting Sioux sweaters, and hear the crowd chanting "Let's go Sioux!" 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think most schools give a damn about our logo situation? I bet most fan bases couldn't even tell you what our old logo was! I wore an interlocking ND hat years ago in the south. Anyone that talked to be while wearing it said Go Irish, dont think one person thought Sioux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s embarassing. The MOTHER of all NICKNAME/LOGO WARS! vs. Our Spirit takes a lickin', but keeps on tickin'. The GF Herald has and continues to use barrels of ink on this hostility. Thousands of our students/alumni hurt from this Fighting, and even a larger number of students/alumni from rivalry campuses - LOL. The battle in Lost Wages on May 30th between two heavy weights, Kris Engelstad McGarry and president Mark Kennedy, could be a turning point, and finally start to bring some closure to this bloodshed?
