homer Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I would like to pick something that would stick it right back up the NCAA's you-know-what. What if we changed our name to "Seminoles" I mean they already approved it and we could keep our logo. How can they force us to change the name Seminoles and let Florida St. use it. Quote

We could get a horse and rider, do "the Chop", and all of that ... of course, I think the horse would have difficulty on the ice at REA, and those road apples would need to be cleaned up before the puck dropped.

GO GATORS CHOMP ON THEM SEMINOLES. Quote

It might upset Florida St. but I really don't think the NCAA wants to challenge us to begin with, if we change our name to Seminoles they would have to battle FSU and I think thats definately something they don't want any part of, they already proved that. It's a far fetched idea I know but I wonder what they would do. Quote

It's a far fetched idea I know but I wonder what they would do. It's simple. The NCAA would say there is no namesake Seminole tribe within the state of North Dakota to give its blessing. Therefore, UND would stay on "the list". Quote
Cratter Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 If not that: Cavalry. ..... (sound the charge) How sweet would it be for the student section at UND football games to hold up fake Cavalry swords during "charge." Call me crazy I could almost like that as much as Fighting Sioux. (It's close enough to my proposed RoughRiders ) Quote
Chewey Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 The "Fighting Cavalry" would be a good replacement name. Along with the swords out flailing at the games, "Gary Owen" could be the team's rouser. Quote

(It's close enough to my proposed RoughRiders ) Please, do you think the Alerus or REA ushers would allow students (or anyone) into those facilities with plastic swords? Quote
dakotadan Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Please, do you think the Alerus or REA ushers would allow students (or anyone) into those facilities with plastic swords? Who said anything about plastic? I'd go for the real deal. Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 nah...go for the plastic swords! That way...the rea/alerus "security" would say...."Is that a sword in your pants or are you just glad to see me " - which works on a couple levels - AND if they make you "pull it out..." - it's not ACTUALLY a weapon!

After the stinking it up season that Florida State had in football this year, if we changed the name to Seminoles, I would be offended. Quote
redwing77 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 After the stinking it up season that Florida State had in football this year, if we changed the name to Seminoles, I would be offended. More so than if we changed our name to the Hurricanes? Quote

The Sicatoka Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 What Dartmouth's "Big Green" experience shows: They still have folks referencing "Indians" (retired for 30 years!) in regard to the school and its teams. If a name change were to ever occur that just can not be allowed to happen. What that means is that if you change names you can not leave the even the remote possibility of the old moniker being taken seriously from that point forward. You must change to something decisively different, so much so that the old moniker is completely refuted, and thus not worth even being mentioned. That's the only way to avoid the Dartmouth experience. Thus, .... Go Cavalry. Quote
Diggler Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Sicatoka = Ralphy Calvary = Red Rider BB Gun I swear even after UND wins the court case, he'll still be pushing the nickname. Quote

yekcoh Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 If UND lost their battle with the NCAA, would they be allowed to, as an example, be "Force of the North", and keep the current logo? Some Sioux say it is not a Sioux Indian in the logo, so could it be the "Spirit" of the past people who lived in the north? Not affiliated with any specific tribe, just a person of the past. Quote

I have been told probably not because the Logo is considered Hostile and abusive. Quote
