Re: UND's Sioux name not to be replaced.
Then how are they going to honor the native americans? Surely there is no other way than to name your sports teams after them.Originally posted by SJHoveyPretty sure this post, made on January 3, 2016, when UNO was 14-3-1 and #2 in the pairwise, will go down in USCHO lore as The Curse of Tipsy McStagger.Originally posted by BrenthovenWe mourn for days after a loss, puff out our chests for a week or more after we win. We brave the cold for tailgates, our friends know not to ask about the game after a tough loss, we laugh, we cry, we BLEED hockey, specifically the maroon'n'gold. Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.

Hilarity.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.

The reason for the talent in the west? Because MN didn't rely on Canada.

Re: UND's Sioux name not to be replaced.
If UND's goal is to eventually get the Sioux name back, it would be smartest for UND not to choose another mascot. A generation from now, when enthusiasm for all this PC censorship dies down, it will be much easier to win a vote on using the Sioux name again if UND doesn't have a new mascot to vote out - a mascot which many people will have by then grown attached to.
Plus, without a new, official mascot, everyone will still call them the Sioux, which will really tick off the commissars at the NCAA.Still anticipating the all-CCHA Frozen Four

Re: UND's Sioux name not to be replaced.
Best possible outcome is NCAA is disbanded or its laughable non-profit status is removed, then we restore the name once its unreasonable power is removed. Until then, no name at all. Actually, it is pretty cool not to have one and have the fans keep it alive despite those corrupt and sanctimonious bast***s in Indy.Start a man a fire, keep him warm for a day. Start a man on fire, keep him warm for the rest of his life.

Re: UND's Sioux name not to be replaced.
Even the Gopher announcers were complaining about the NCAA during the last Sioux-Gopher game. You know you've messed up when you can get Sioux and Gopher fans to agree about anything.I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
