UND's Response I was on the fence of driving going to Dartmouth to see the tournament or stay here in Ottawa and watch Blake play against the Senators. This makes my decision easy, an ignorant school like Dartmouth will not be getting any of my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and it wouldn't hurt to tell them "and I'll tell my friends to do the same!") Let us know what you get for a reply... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I, on the other hand, wanted to go up there and wear my Sioux jersey EVERYWHERE!!! When we went to AK, I took a few extra Sioux jerseys with me. My son's girlfriend is going to grad school in Palmer and several of her friends came to the Friday game and wore the jerseys. I could do that in Dartmouth. BUT, I too don't want them getting my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Curious Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Is there any concern that while the Sioux are there playing that there may be some negative acts visited upon the team? I wonder if the team is going to bring extra security, I hope that Dartmouth students show some respect to the individuals on the team.

President Kupchella addressed that issue in the letter that he wrote to Dartmouth's president. Personally, I wouldn't put it past the Dartmouth people- they seem like a A-1 class act already.

More than likely, given its timeframe, most of the Dartmouth student body will be skiing at Stowe or Vail, or spending trust fund money in Palm Springs. Besides, beating the shiat out of spoiled Ivy-leaguers might be a good warmup for the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undsportsfan Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 is this strange that we are now calling the governor? I mean... anyone that is a major activist or protestor against the nickname is told to find better things to do, fight other fights... but while the Hoeven is trying to work, they are calling him to make statements about a nickname? I dunno. It just isn't making sense at this moment. For me, Hoeven has a lot more to deal with on his plate than discussing the nickname.

Tommiejo Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 All I can say is that the day Dartmouth gets any money from me is when hell freezes over & the devil goes ice skating.

Riverman Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I asked a real question, seeking an answer. I have done. So why it's ok for reservations to use "native" nicknames but not ok for non "natives". I feel that it is racism. Am I wrong? IMHO, Dartmouth seems alot like SCSU.

PCM Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Posted on US College Hockey Online: COMMENTARY: Empty Cry Of Racism From The Big Green About three weeks ago, Dartmouth director of athletics Josie Harper took time out of her busy schedule to do something utterly pointless and without consequence. On Nov. 21st, The Dartmouth published a letter from Harper in which she apologized for scheduling a men's hockey game against the University of North Dakota on December 29th. The reason? North Dakota's team name: The Fighting Sioux.The actions of Harper are nothing more than empty grandstanding, completely without weight or meaning. In a world growing more insufferably politically correct by the day, Harper decided to publicly insult another university, not in an attempt to affect any real change, but in an effort to boost her own reputation and standing. In her remarks, Harper conveys a simple message: She is not racist, but the people at UND are, and she should be commended for pointing that out.
