ND Fighting Sioux

Postby HJS on Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:00 pm

Apparently, North Dakota is still in (what appears to be losing) battle over its name.

Why the eff is Fighting Sioux "hostile" and Fighting Irish not?

Because Americans haven't raped and pillaged Irish as much as we did Indians. At least that's the line of thinking that I believe is being applied.

I think they should change their name to the Red Storm or The Golden Eagles or they could play the Bonaventure angle and just call themselves the Dakkies.

Why do we give a shit what Indians think? Last I checked if you eliminate the faux Indians like Elizabeth Warren and Ward Churchill and the Pale Faces who claim Indian heritage so they can own pieces of casinos or sell tax free cigarettes and beer, there are a grand total of 6 actual Injuns living in the United States. Maybe North Dakota should change its name to the Small Pox. After all, small pox kicked the fucking shit out of the Sioux (and every other Indian).

Apparently they can't use a new name until 2015 so they just won't have one until then.

They should just go without a nickname permanently.

So what of the rumor that Engelstad's will contained a clause mandating that the arena be demolished if the nickname is ever changed??

Sometimes clauses like that aren't legal.

Don't see why it wouldn't be....his estate owns the arena and rents it to the school for $1/year.

Which demonstrates why it's really dumb for a university to get into that kind of arrangement, no matter how big the enticement.

I dont have a problem with what Engelstad did. At the very least the school got a beatiful arena for a few years. The NCAA should be a little more reasonable. ND doesnt own the arena so they shouldnt have to change it.

was in the NoDak section this past weekend, they were absolutely awesome. By far the most fans of any team at the FF.

They also have skating cheerleaders who could probably skate circles around the umass team & line the aisles during play. It was hilarious to see campion aged men trying to figure out how to get their iphone to discreetly take a picture of said cheerleaders from about 1 foot away.

so here's the list of names being reviewed for NoDak's new mascot: http://und.edu/nickname/consideration-list.pdf

The non-consideration list is 600 pages of gold. Ok, maybe 300 pages of gold, because tons of people resubmitted "Fighting Sioux." Some of my favorites:
Fighting Sue
Fighting Jioux
Canadiens

The consideration list is incredible when you consider that... you know, they looked at these submissions and said POSSIBLY YES:

"Abdominal Snowmen"


Basset Hounds. The reason? "Bassett hounds are great dogs with good smell When they come out onto the ice the music can saycan you smell what the hounds r cooking"


"Blistering Blizzard' - "It's cold! Snow for days!"


Cats - "I like cats"


DAKOTA - "Because redundancies are great"


That's as far as I got. I vote Basset Hounds.

My thought is that Ron Hextall wanted to coach, but ownership was against it. So he hatched a plot to coach under an alias and a fake mustache and it backfired royally here.

Christ. You'd think my city would have learned its lesson about college coaches with no pro experience by now.

really looking forward to Saturday. despite the big names, bc hasn't played that difficult of a schedule (only 4 of 17 games against ranked teams). probably wise with such a young team. but ramps up quickly with 3 of next 4 & 5 of 8 upcoming opponents being ranked.

obviously sucks with fitz having a high ankle sprain, i bet his time away is towards the six week end (or longer) of the 4-6 week timetable.
