Fetch Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 North Dakota "Varsity Song" It's for you North Dakota U That we sing your sons and daughters true Cheering our comrades to victory Renewing allegiance to UND, Your honor we uphold in ev'ry conquest. As your children aye shall do And Whene'er you hear that cry of ODZ! ODZ! DZI! It's for you, North Dakota U. Fight on Sioux, we're all for you, We're thousands of strong and loyal souls! We know you'll win ev'ry game you're in, No matter how distant the goals. And as we go we'll show each foe That we're the toughest tribe between the poles We're rough and tough it's true, but we're sportsmen through and through, We're the Fighting Sioux from North Dakota U. Stand up and cheer, Stand up and cheer for North Dakota. Pledge your loyalty For she's your alma mater true. Our teams are fighting, And we will help them see it through. We've got the team-- We've got the steam-- So North Dakota, here's to you. We sing a song for you, North Dakota U! Quote

Siouxmama Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 ODZ! ODZ! DZI! I looked around and the only thing I can come up with is it's an imitation of a Sioux war cry. I have my people working on it though. Quote

Our school has "...for we know you have sand..." Quote
