NDSU vs Sundogs

Ndsu 34
Probably the only thing I hate in North Dakota 14

Sundog moral victory.

Why do you have to hate so much? You might not care, but I guarantee not everyone would feel that way. I always like the name and the logo, I think the alternative they put out there are pretty terrible. And the reasoning for us getting ride of the name is equally bad. Because the name wouldn't matter to you, means it shouldn't to anyone? C'mon man.

It's the decade long derp fest that makes us have little pitty for the loss of the precious logo.

Don't like the alternatives... That's UND and their fanbases fault. Pick one and move on and stop wasting money on a hopeless cause.

For what its worth, as a huge UND hockey fan, I would love to see NDSU with a hockey program. I think it would be awesome to have a rivalry game there with such close proximity. Hell if I hit the big $$$ lotto, I'd even donate towards it. I have in-laws that are huge Bison fans though, so I don't have crazy hate for the Bison. Not a big fan by any means, but certainly have pulled for them in certain situations.

As for the folks who say the FCS championships don't matter, they would just be a small portion of our bitter fanbase, who love hockey but hate all of the national attention that SU has gotten. Are we huge in hockey on a nation scale? Yes! Is hockey huge on a national stage? Not exactly. Though I hope to see it grow, not just because I want UND to get more national attention, but because I love college hockey (always have, even growing up a goofer fan in MN) and I would love to see the sport expand.

1 think I think we can all agree on is IF (big IF) UND can leave the Fargo dome with a W, it would make the next game against eachother (be it playoffs or the 2019 game) that much more fun. I don't think there is any doubt there, and talk about re-starting a rivalry with a bang, though I know nobody on here wants to see that.

You already said this

Seriously, the attachment to the name is so stupid. "It's a part of who we are as fans". Then what you are is mostly empty.

If they said tomorrow that we were the Farmers or Aggies again, I would give zero fucks.

Yeah, I could get on board with those choices.

If they were going to re-nickname us Roughriders, Sundogs, North Stars, or NoDaks, I would be irate.

Is there a spread for this game?

There it is-->wish NDSU would get hockey. Fuck you!!

The ONLY reason POS UND Fans want NDSU to have hockey is so they can beat us and claim more national championships. Fuck that. We don't need hockey to be nationally relevant. UND has hockey and isn't.

Jussayin'!

I didn't say I hated anyone, I just thought to put so much of your meaning as a fanbase into a stupid nickname is silly. That's it.

Meanwhile, some of the people whose ACTUAL identity is tied to it don't like it and you call it "PC bull" and dismiss their feelings.

I get what you are saying. There are times I feel apathetic about it, and figure it really doesn't matter; at least is seems to matter more than it should. Then there is the angry part, that the NCAA can come in a force something like that. Like I said, the PC stuff really ticks me off. On the other hand, I think there were a lot of decent options the committee chose to ignore. Not to mention, that regardless of whether people like or dislike the use of No Nickname/UND, it was very popular, and dismissed prior to voting. Basically the whole process has just been a joke and waste of money.

I'm not even going to respond to you thinking its not "PC Bull", that whole thing is debatable as to who is and is not offended by it; who did and did not get to voice their opinion, etc. Basically the nickname stuff doesn't really have a place on this thread anyway.

As for the game, I'm just really looking forward to it, regardless of outcome. Obviously if the Sioux pulled an upset I would be pumped, but I'm just glad they are playing again. Pretty much UND's fault the rivalry ever stopped in the first place.

This whole thing was screwed from the beginning. Kupchella should have told Der Reichsmarschall Engelstad to go to hell and taken control of the name change personally.

[HotShot]

This is going to be a beat down. I give UN_ no chance. This is the perfect game for the defense to get more confident and the offense to open things a bit more. Bison 45 UN_ 10

Quit talking about the damn name. Sheesh
