Another UND controversy

Re: Another UND controversy

Either or is probably offensive to someone. I'm surprised HSUS hasn't spoken out about our nickname yet.

It would require resources needing to be redirected from payroll for the officers at HSUS. You should be safe.

UND's hockey coach Dave Hakstol is leaving UND to become head coach of the NHL Flyers. I know very little about hockey but I think 1) that's a loss for UND - Hakstol always had pretty good teams; and 2) probably a decent hire for the Flyers.

In a sense it is clever when you consider before the White man came on the scene who was slaying the buffalo, but taking no more than they needed? Why of course the fighting Sioux. Take that one PC POLICE.

As big of mess that UND has made of this whole fiasco, there's no doubt in my mind that they would be dumb enough to vote for no nickname.

I'm guessing that "Roughriders" might elicit some giggles from opponent fans.

Yeah I suspect the Sioux Falls Roosevelt fans will be giggling.

I really hope that don't don't call themselves the "Pride". I wonder what the SDSU PA announcer would say when the SDSU band takes the field.

Nodaks ?????
