NDSUguy Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'm curious to get the opinion of the Sioux fans out there.... I'd like to do an informal poll..... As of right now do you believe the current Sioux nickname stay or go? Please either answer Yes or No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 For now, definitely yes. The nickname should stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Shouldn't we say Stay or Go? Yes/No seems more confusing. Are we saying yes it should stay or yes it should go? Either way, Yes it should stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewey Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Absolutely yes it should stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND85 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 YES IT SHOULD STAY.... and I believe it will. If for some strange reason it should change, I for one will ALWAYS wear my UND Fighting Sioux clothes to games and cheer "Let's Go Sioux!"

Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Name should stay. Someone should run an official poll on this. The city of Grand Forks, the UND campus, and different reservations could all be sampled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewey Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 The PC loons should be rounded up and made to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 It should stay until it is a proven net negative for UND. We are not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB#11 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 The FIGHTING SIOUX name should definetly stay. My wife and I are having our basement done in Sioux colors with a lot of cool Sioux stuff.

redwing77 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 It should stay until it is a proven net negative for UND. We are not there. I agree with this. The only thing I'll add is that, when it does become apparent that it is time for a change, that UND does it on its own terms. Not that of the tribes. Not that of the NCAA. And definitely not that of the PC idiots out there who think that they should run the world (and the PC idiots who don't want to run the world). ------------------------------------------------ And yeah, having met LB, I'd say those Bison friends are lucky.

I also want to say if we change the name WE (the pro Fighting Sioux name people) pick the name not anyone else. I feel if UND has to change the name after if the law suit doesn't go well or if that time comes where it's time to change. The name changing will have to do for the P.C. folks.

Shawn-O Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I agree with this.

And definitely not that of the PC idiots out there who think that they should run the world (and the PC idiots who don't want to run the world). Absolutely, keep the name. At the end of the day, it's the PC idiots that have oversight over the scheduling of athletic events that I see as the biggest risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Illiniwek Supporter Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The name changing will have to do for the P.C. folks. First of all, I hope it never comes to that for your school. But playing along with your hypothetical for a moment, I would anticipate a backlash from some "I want to be constantly offended and continually identify myself as a victim" group no matter what name you might choose.

petey23 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The name should stay. If ti were to change the only name that should even be considered is THE TRIBE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I don't think we could take it that far. I actually think that would make us look worse. What I'd say is that, if we did change the name, the students and alumni should have the say as to what the name should change to. Not the faculty or the tribes or any external entity that did not graduate from UND. And those who do attend or have attended UND have the same weight of vote that everyone else does. Meaning, you have one vote worth one vote for one particular name choice. Just a simple vote. Majority wins. If the anti-nickname crowd supports a name that doesn't get approved by the majority, tough crap. If it is "The Tribe" or something to that effect, TOUGH CRAP. I'm all for the "Be careful what you wish for" category of results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I are having our basement done in Sioux colors with a lot of cool Sioux stuff. We live in Fargo, so all my Bison friends are welcome...yes I have a lot of Bison friends. That would be a cool basement. I am known as the "Sioux Fan" on my block as my neighbor has a big Bison flag in his front yard and the guy across the street has a van that is decorated with the words Thundering Herd on it. So to have a "Sioux" basement is really cool, i am not so lucky as my wife is a Bison fan except for Sioux hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
