The crybaby pc crowd finally got what they wanted and now they're going to have to live with the boos for days, weeks or maybe even years and I'm perfectly fine with that. If people don't like the boos they don't have to go to the games. I am a Fighting Sioux forever anti hawk fan but I don't boo the name! GO SIOUX!!! I think there are some people who aren't apart of the crybaby pc crowd, who loved the Sioux, didn't like the change process, have come to terms with the fact that the name isn't changing back from Fighting Hawks, maybe even allowed the new logo to grow on them and find the boos annoying. Understandable if you don't and won't like the new nickname and I know you said you don't boo, but I wonder who are the boos are actually directed to? The PC Crowd you site? I don't get it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hear, Hear. The people largely responsible for the debacle are gone. It's booing into an echo chamber. I wish this much passion went into causing false starts. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn it's the same school in the same city. I guess when they retired Fighting Sioux, they retired University of North Dakota. So the banners in the REA say University of Fighting Sioux, except #8 that says University of Fighting Hawks? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - it is the same school in the same city - the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. However, in 1984 you supported Fighting Sioux hockey, while in 2016 you support Fighting Hawks hockey, correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the players making the goals I cheer for, I don't go to the games just for the nickname. If UND would have kept Flickertails and never became Sioux I would still cheer for the school, because that was the school in my hometown that I loved. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Sicatoka Posted September 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2016 With the booing of a new nickname, maybe they should've chosen "Phantoms" so it would make some sense. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would've worked. Or Ghosts...since we went with the whitest possible logo in the history of sports maybe there's still time to just change the name; the logo would work well with it.

I know the ice and uniforms aren't ready for this season but they can still announce the team as the Fighting Hawks and they can put the logo on the scoreboard. Lol, you're funny! Again...my point is even if NEXT YEAR there is no Hawk on the ice it is NOT because of the REA, it has been and will be UND's call. As far as the scoreboard I would Imagine that would have more to do with money....? But I'm not as smart as you though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A collection must have been taken up to put the logo on the scoreboard at the Alerus, so I don't think money is a deterrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do put it on the field then, I cry foul that they didn't ever have the old logo on the field! Maybe I should start a conspiracy theory being that all of the people that were purported to want the Fighting Hawks nickname are the ones that are booing it at the games. I think the vote was rigged!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
