    Re: Help rename the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux!

    How about "Fighting Irish" or "Seminoles"?
    If anyone complains in the NCAA, make them look at Notre Dame and Florida State. If they can have mascot names based on race, why not UND?
    Oh yeah, MONEY!

    Komodo Dragons, Dinosaurs, Happy Cows, Plowers (have a giant plow as a mascot), or the flooders.

    If those don't work, Tundra, Eggplants, or Prairie Dogs.
    I beat you to it on this one.

    Ralph should send an invoice to the state for the cost of the arena.
    Time to stick it to the politicians and the courts and change the name to the "ground squirrels" or "prairie dogs".
    How about the "Surrendering French"?

    Don't get mad, get even!

      North Dakota Fighting Cavalry, to honor the people who slaughtered the Native Americans. Would that be considered hostile and abusive?

        REA could be redecorated with pictures of Custer and his men standing victorious at Little Bighorn. Even more hostile and abusive, and historically inaccurate - what could be better?

          The North Dakota Snarling Ferretts

          Okay really . . .

          The North Dakota Thrashers. I can't think of another team that has that name in the NCAA's.

          Could be worse; University of California, Santa Cruz: Banana Slugs. Really.
          I haven't been on here in a year...
          Now I'm a dad. Holy crap.

              Can't take credit for this one, saw it on the live blog during the Wisconsin game...

              University of North Dakota Southern Canadians.
              Wisconsin Hockey is life... Everything else is just filler.

                  As an aerospace engineer, I have to almost, sort-of, well, at least not DIS-respect UND's aviation programs () so how about the Jets?

                  The uni's are already green anyway...

                  Edit: not to mention the long-time association of the name "Jets" with CANADIAN hockey players...

                    Insensitive, yes. Hostile and Abusive? Not according to the writ of social change the NCAA put upon us to change our nickname.

                    As long as we don't have any semblence of NA imagery or symbology present in anything UND, there's nothing that can be done.

                    However....

                    I'm still a fan of Fighting Cavalry, but the ire behind it for me is gone.

                    I've seen enough evidence to suggest that it isn't the NA tribes that wanted this gone (just the minority of the minority). It was mainly the PC agendas and a State Board that wanted to get their own part of the ND history books by making a landmark decision. It also helps distract people away from the NDSU debacle.

                    I think the State Board felt comfortable doing this because they knew that the public couldn't vote them out of office. They hold little recourse other than to write letters to the Governor. The Governor isn't going to remove a SB member over a nickname so... the power is there for the taking and they took it.

                    It's a crying shame.

                    Oh well. Let's move on.

                      As a 40 year Gopher fan I hate UND but I respect them . What the NCAA as pushed for here is so wrong . It should be all or none you cant let Florida State be the Seminoles but not let UND be the Sioux. There is no other University that has been as respectfull or helped educate people on Indians and thier culture. They will always be the Sioux to me ...And they still have the best jersey in sports

                          The logo can be a fat cat in an ND SBoHE Tshirt taking a dump on a picture of the REA.
