Rebel_Sioux Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 On Thursday, March 23, 2017 at 8:48 PM, UND-FB-FAN said: You think recruits love hearing boos when "Fighting Hawks" is mentioned over the loudspeakers or enjoy seeing empty seats because folks felt they would somehow be helping UND by boycotting UND athletics due to the new nickname? 16-, 17-, and 18-year old kids aren't complete robots; they will take into account both the passion and the ridiculousness of each prospective fan base. Recruits aren't invested in the past nickname like some think they somehow should be. Many current recruits were 12 years old when UND was last officially referred to as the Fighting Sioux. Recruits and current student-athletes want "fans" to unanimously buy in because the players and coaches certainly have; the only possible exception to this is the hockey program due to some residual poison. Yeah...based on our success in basketball, football and volleyball it really seems like our recruiting is hurting across the board. <-sarcasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What choke job happened? More time wasted on a waste of skin! Neither I nor anyone else for that matter requires your validation. Nice try, though. I want nothing to do with the "UND fans" you speak of. My years of association with UND validates my relationship with the University completely independent of your classless comments. Were you the one giving "the bird" on tv after UND lost? If the nickname change can ignite this sort of behavior, then, well, the "UND fans" you speak of need to take a hard, long look at themselves in the mirror. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad all those "Sioux Forever" chants at Scheels Arena today couldn't prevent the choke job. Not sounding like much of a UND fan. Or maybe you need someone to explain the game to you? I'm guessing a little of both. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 My observation: The host school was playing in Fargo with their official Athletics logo on the boards and on the ice. But it wasn't on the jersey; a logo soon to be deprecated was still there. OneUND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Tucker Poolman on the ice would've been a short-term benefit. Putting the now resolved issue* behind all of us, finally, would be the long-term benefit. *Lots of things in life don't resolve the way I'd like, but I have to move forward just the same.

I think you will be disappointed with the hockey jersey my guess is all they add is a small logo on the shoulder. Also wouldn't be surprised to just see NORTH DAKOTA script at center ice either.

The Alerus was untouched from 2001-until a couple weeks ago, now a big Hawk logo on the building and talks of it on the field. Remember, GF owns that building not UND. Hawk logos all over campus including the IPF, you think the REA will be untouched in his (Kennedy's) campaign to make that logo visible everywhere, especially where sports are played. Maybe the logos will be on the shoulder, but that ice will definitely have Hawk logos...just look at what we saw in Fargo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they are going to rip down Sioux logos, but if Kennedy is pushing this logo agenda pretty hard to get the city of GF to allow a Hawk logo on its building, what says we won't see Hawks in the REA. Just remember 2030 UND takes control of the building, then it will be up to the president to see what to do with the logos, as the Sioux name and logo will be retired for 18 years and the Hawk logo will be in presence for 13 years. You can only hold on to the past for so long before the present takes over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
