    They don't have to have a nickname, but the admins seem to think that having something else official on the books people will suddenly stop using the name Fighting Sioux. If you've been to a [ ] game recently, after several years of officially having no name, if you think ANYONE in the building cheering for UND ISN'T still using Sioux, you would be mistaken. They can't even get through the National Anthem without the entire UND fan base yelling it. Regardless of what they come up with, the only folks who are going to be using it are those in charge of merchandise manufacturing.

        OK...there is absolutely no reason for me to ever believe anything you have to say. Can anyone with a legit source tell me if there is or isn't an NCAA rule that a college HAS to have a nickname?

          It certainly seems like UND can go without a nickname. Why else would North Dakota be in the final seven choices? But there hasn't been any legit source that has come out and said one way or the other.

            I feel like that's just in the final group as kind of an "F you" to the whole process. But I could be wrong.

              Yes, you are wrong.

                I hope it's Roughriders, only because that flies in the face of what all the PC crowd wants. A quote by Teddy:

                In 1886, Roosevelt criticized the morals of Indians he had seen:
                I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of ten are, and I shouldn't like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth. The most vicious cowboy has more moral principle than the average Indian. Turn three hundred low families of New York into New Jersey, support them for fifty years in vicious idleness, and you will have some idea of what the Indians are. Reckless, revengeful, fiendishly cruel, they rob and murder, not the cowboys, who can take care of themselves, but the defenseless, lone settlers on the plains.
                Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                    No need to be nasty... just confirming that yes, you are wrong.

                      In an argument between two of the bigger idiots on this board, you've really set the bar.

                        This is undoubtedly the most ironic thing I'll read all day.

                          You are a bigger joke than your hockey team. This is quite the accomplishment.

                                Congratulation to UND on selecting such a synergistic new name. Wonderful.
