[QUOTE="freiday31, post: 47047, member: 479"] I just keep hearing the same argument. Think about the millions of dollars... It didn't happen when the name was retired, and everyone wanted to keep the name. Now, they will lose millions because nobody likes the choice... I can guess what will happen. Nothing. People will buy the new gear as soon as it is out. Just like nobody was ever going to cheer for the Wild because they aren't the North Stars. Your argument is that of a child having a tantrum and you know it isn't true. The reason that people want the nickname "North Dakota" is because then UND will always be the Sioux. Not officially, but in our hearts. If you want to talk about being an idiot, simply look at your argument about fundraising. Did fundraising decrease after the Fighting Sioux nickname was retired? But now its going to cost UND millions from pissed off alumni? I suppose in UND makes it to the Frozen Four, you will boycot watching it because of the team nickname? I highly doubt it. Will you buy a University of North Dakota North Stars national championship t-shirt. Probably. I love the Fighting Sioux name as much as anyone. My teams wore and used the logo until I was flat out told I couldn't use it any longer. I also believe in doing what is best for the athletes, and not red-assed alumni. [/QUOTE]
