New UND name to replace Fighting Sioux

Re: New UND name to replace Fighting Sioux

Even though I hate UND with a thousand passions, even more than WI, I was for the name. Charlie His Horse Farts Thunder ruined this whole thing, frankly.

Yep. He is the main dipwad who wouldn't let the Standing Rock Reservation vote on the name.

Charlie Fart was the main dipwad - yes. But I think the NCAA was going to find a way to kill the name regardless. I understand that, during the 12 year fight, the NCAA changed the rules. Early on, it was the tribes' job to register an objection. No response from the tribes would mean the name stayed. Later as it became apparent there would be no response, the NCAA changed the game and held UND responsible for getting tribe approval. No response from the tribes now meant elimination of the name. Check me on that, but if so - dirty pool.

Re: New UND name to replace Fighting Sioux

Not bad but you're overlooking environmentalists.

Maybe they just should get out in front of the next controversy by instead going with 'The North Dakota Frickinfrackers'.

Beat me too it! I was just going to say the Frackers. The comedy potential is off the charts. When they win you can tell the other team they're Fracked, when they lose you can yell MothaFrackers! at them. Frack Off at every penalty call against the home team....

I think no nickname at all is the best... Check out our president's eval.

I thought I finally understood that's he's a Whioux fan, and then you say something like this?

My bad, thought he was a Badger fan. Sorry he got butt hurt.

Which begs the question: Why does the state of North Dakota and UND continue to disrespect Native American Sioux by using 'Dakota'?


"The University of North"

Give the NCAA time. "U**** Lowell River Hawks"

I know, I get confused all the time. But just because burd is clever enough to turn a phrase like a Hurley hooker turns tricks and his knuckles clear the ground by a good 3 inches or more, doesn't mean he's not one of you.

Re: New UND name to replace Fighting Sioux

I'm here to help. North Dakota Wheat ... North Dakota Fly Boys (they have an Air Force Base outside of Grand Forks) ... North Dakota Plains ... North Dakota Red Rivers ... North Dakota Rampaging Rivers ... North Dakota Floods ... North Dakota Warriors (hey, it ties in the air base and the Native Americans, see how clever I am?) ... North Dakota Engelstadts ... ok starting to stretch. they will probably go with something SO white bread and lame, so as not to offend anyone, like North Dakota Dakotans.

I'd vote for "Roughnecks"--you know like the oilfield workers or the hockey team.

I understand that Charlie Farthead was the main dicksmack....However, the article really hits home on silly name changes.....Not sure if Reilly is intelligent anymore, but he finally nailed it writing this article.


Love the quote:
Too late. White America has spoken. You aren't offended, so we'll be offended for you.

Rocco's Roughnecks. Too bad it's this wasn't done while he was still around. Catchy.

How about Ralph's Ralphers with the logo being a guy puking on the Ralph.

I still think ManCampers (Campers for short) rolls off the tongue well.

I look at all name alternatives with one thing in mind, how will it sound after UND scores? "Heeeeeeerrrrrre's your University of North Dakota Mannnnn Camperrrrrs SCORRRRRING!" Sounds ok to me I guess.

I don't know why I laughed so hard at that lol.

A rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet.

The Sioux, by any other name, would still be hostile and abusive.

Re: New UND name to replace Fighting Sioux

O.K., I'll give it a go.

If Nebraska can be the Cornhuskers then North Dakota could certainly be the "Threshers". It's the 2nd largest wheat producing state in the country after Kansas. Sounds reasonably ominous, too. You'd have to get pretty creative with the mascot, I'd think, but, it's doable, with some creative thought. Only issue might be that a thresher is also a kind of shark.

Thx for your comment, Red Cows. Your idea is way better than most. But, why does the name "Thrashers" (instead of Threshers) jump into my head, though?

Re: New UND name to replace Fighting Sioux

Could just use a symbol for the name, like Prince back in the day.

The symbol I think is pretty obvious.

Well now, here we have a quote with true discernment. Hope your tongue was firmly pressing your cheek when you made this comment, Wisko.

How many states are named after Native American groups? Is Wisconsin one of them? Illinois? Indiana? Ohio? Better look it up. Shallow brooks are noisy.

Re: New UND name to replace Fighting Sioux

They should be The Whioux. They can skate out onto the ice wearing Union Jack sweaters while the pep band plays Baba O'Reilly.

Which missed their best collection of hits, only to be added later. The Brit thing is a stretch, in any case. Many campuses can be described as teenage wastelands, correctamundo ...
