So after the MSG game

[The Sicatoka]

Side bar: 

Good Lord people. The old nickname and "Hawks" are both mono-syllabic. 

It is ...

Let's Go Hawks!  <-- three beats

not 

Let's go Haw-awks <-- four beats

The four beat amateurs trying to get a chant going Saturday v. Michigan State were pitiful. 

[UND1981]

I was at the game at MSG.  Out of 8,000 fans, I would estimate 75% were wearing some form of FS gear including myself.  I don't see this changing for some time.  I saw maybe 5 FH hats, shirts, etc. in my section 104.  I saw a good amount of ND gear for others not wearing FS stuff.

Are there ANY chants at football games?

IMO I'd rather here a deafening "Let's Go Sioux" trying to will the team back to life than require a big play to make any noise.

I think it'll convert to "Let's Go Hawks" down the line but anyone that thinks it'll happen overnight is just being pathetic...

Not only is the "Sioux Forever" chant embarrassing, the people that do it are pathetic.  Sorry for harsh words, but seriously you are.  You are the sole reason that our fan base is divided.  There are plenty of fans that are embracing the new name and logo, and you are preventing everyone from moving on.  You are like the 3 year old in Target that is kicking and screaming with mom dragging you out of the store because you want a toy but can't have it.  

I am not saying that you "Sioux Forever" fans have to go out and stock up on Fighting Hawks gear.  You also don't have to go home and burn your Sioux gear.  Just saying that chanting "let's Go Sioux" and "Sioux Forever" is not helping the University, its student athletes, and its fans move forward.  It is holding them back.  Seriously.  Grow up, be an adult, and quit being a bunch of sore losers now that the Sioux name is gone.

If you are offended by my post, then you are the ones that I am talking about.

Whether you cheer Sioux or Hawks, youre still cheering for North Dakota.  Its not preventing anyone from moving on either; each individual gets to make that choice for themselves.  What's pathetic is people who think everyone should be in lockstep with their viewpoint and if they aren't, it's because they are wrong.  Good luck with all that.

If you honestly thought that the new nickname would be like flipping a light switch and everyone would automatically be in love with it and cheer for it, you are the delusional and pathetic one. Get real.

A. It is a terribly boring nickname that didn't even get a majority of the votes.

B. The logo is worse than the nickname.

 

Consider us a dimmer light switch. Over time maybe the passion and support for the name will brighten but right now it is very low, especially amongst hockey fans.

So its like Trump winning then......

How did this board feel about the protests?

I'd probably avoid hockey games for awhile 'Hawkperfan7'

That is a cheap shot. Siouxperfan7 is one of the biggest supporters of all our programs and is also a friend of mine. Try to keep it classy, will you?

Well why didn't you say so?!

I would have NEVER dared joked about a username if I knew all of this ahead of time.

The username is sacrosanct! If we can't protect that, what can we protect?

My deepest apologize FS4L... is it ok if I use the shorthand or do I need to spell it out fully each time?

Whoa...loook out. I was way over the line. Get a grip. Must've hit a little to close to home. 

[Sodacker]

Some fans calling other fans pathetic adds to the divisiveness I think

Never said you were, just don't want to talk politics on a college hockey message board.

I stick strictly to facebook for political opinions that I have no desire to read.

It's not tough to comprehend if you try your absolute best... I believe in you

[Fetch]

I'm curious were most of the fans at MSG from Grand Forks or others from all over the country or from the East Coast  ?

No there isn't a Fighting Hawks cheer at a football game, but at the Alerus there is a spot to buy Hawks gear, how much Hawks gear is available at the Sioux shop in the REA? After a TD there are fireworks and a Hawk screech. Is there a Hawks screech after a goal? The Alerus has embraced the nickname a lot more than the REA. Bubba is seen wearing a Hawks cap, hawks shirt. I don't think I have ever seen Brad Berry with anything Hawk related. I guess next year we will see if the REA and Fighting Hawks hockey is ready to embrace the new name with a Hawk on center ice, a Hawk on the jersey, and Hawks gear in the Sioux shop. Like I said give it about 5 years.

I went to two football games this year. Do you need directions to the Alerus since you never go anywhere besides the REA?

You obviously missed my point, go back and reread. I love our students being as how I was one a year ago...which makes your old man comment hilarious btw  In fact, I'd bet you have years on me.

Also, I've never once said I'm always and forever Sioux. Calm down bud.

 

I deleted my comment after i re-read your post. my bad on my part, just immediately reacted when i read "pathetic students"

No worries, I'm a pretty sarcastic poster and it can definitely get lost in translation on a message board at times.

You better not watch the post game interviews after the MSG game! You will be very disappointed...

Oh boy, settle down there message board cop! He said he didn't want to hear it so the other guy told him to stop going to the games, you know why? Because he is going to hear it!

I think I remember you posting on here when BB had a Hawks hat on in an interview and you had to clean your underwear! Yes, he has wore hawk gear.
