Nickname problems

I see a article in the gf herald says that MN, Iowa, & Wis. won't play the sioux in any sports except hockey because of their name. Too bad! ;D ;D

So Minnesota won't play them in any sport other than hockey........


Still not enough to make them change their name, but that's probably half million dollars worth of guarantee money and publicity lost each year.........

That news report was on the radio this morning also. That decision has to be a huge blow to UND. The Gophers have to be the #1 choice for scheduling. Heck, I still think about the Bison-Gopher football game in the Metrodome!!

Me too. Most fun I've ever had at a Bison game. (and I've been to quite a few). I haven't talked to anyone that was there that isn't going back. This is a HUGH blow to und.

And if anyone paid attention when they announced the delay of the trial of the lawsuit that the "Judge" recommended that sides try to come to an agreement by changing the logo/nickname. When the Judge makes a recommendation it could mean that he sees the writing on the wall.

Yeah, and to think the "Judge" is a UND grad. *To early to tell, though. *Maybe he just wants to prolong the name thing so the Sioux can continue to host post-season events. *Although, the way their hockey team is playing this year, they won't have to worry about that one. *Maybe for women's basketball.
