Re: Help rename the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux!
I know this one has been mentioned, but the UND Fighting Indigenous is nice.
My vote is still no nickname at all, just be the University of North Dakota on all our uniforms, etc. and no need to change the Ralph or other venues.
Panzer for Hobey.

Ralph Engelstad held "Nazi Parties" in a room where Engelstad kept World War II memorabilia, swastika banners, Nazi weapons, and murals of Nazi leaders. On one wall was a life-size portrait of Hitler inscribed “To Ralphie from Adolf, 1939.” On the other wall was a portrait of Engelstad Wearing a Nazi uniform. inscribed “To Adolf from Ralphie.”
I'd go without a nickname. Just University of North Dakota.
oops, I didn't see this when I posted, but I obviously agree. Eff the NCAA, no nickname!

Re: Help rename the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux!
Fighting Sioux fans, as a long time SCSU Husky fan, let me be the first to express my anger and disgust over this ruling! Even though I have cheered for the Huskies and against the Sioux down through the years, I have always thought that the mascot was perfect for UND. I remember going to a game at Grand Forks Lasch's freshman year and seeing the way in which the school honored that name was magnificant. My question is, anybody know the e-mails of this board or addresses, I would like very much to express my disgust at them.

Thank you for the support , but good luck to you. They have demonstrated that they do not want to be democratic about this decision by repeatedly ignoring the majority. They have even refused to allow the tribes to voice their opinions, which is pretty condescending if you ask me.
