Knickball2 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The Standing Rock group is waiting right up until the deadline to request an extension from the board of higher ed. I'm convinced that if given time, i.e., the Board hadn't prescribed this deadline, the Standing Rock tribe will have a vote on the nickname, and it will mirror the vote at Spirit Lake, maybe even higher. Since at Spirit Lake, Erich Longie and his crew went around the weekend before the vote with flyers claiming that Ralph Engelstad referred to them as prairie N---ers. Still vote was 67% approval.

GeauxSioux Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) I had someone ask me about this one today. I still like it. If UND were to go the animal route, this is the one that I would choose. Edit: See page one of this thread for the reasons why Nokotas would be a good name.

Siouxman Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 This is the only one that I have seen so far that makes sense to me, assuming that we have to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjchewy Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I have not read this thread in awhile, so I went back to page one and could not believe how many people like this name. Say the entire school and nickname together as if you were going to use it in a sentence: University of North Dakota Nokotas. It doesn't make sense, sounds like a stuttering problem. It is even worse with my North Dakota accent, like many of us have. I just hope that this nickname is not taken seriously and if we are given the option to vote for a name I will be voting for NO new nickname. Just have 'NORTH DAKOTA' put on all jerseys.

I agree that Nokotas by itself doesn't come off very well, but Wild Nokotas does. Well. at least in my head it does. And as for your stuttering comment... as someone who stutters, I find it hostile and abusive and I'm deeply offended. Where do I sign up to be a victim?

dakotadan Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 While I understand that there are actual Nokota horses, the name itself just sounds like a mythical made up Indian creature. Such as a Nanook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
