It's everything you'd imagine it to be.

From the "Wheat Barons" to the "Growlers" to the "ManBearPigs" they're all here.
Some are serious. Some are jokes. A lot of them are hilarious, especially the comments.


What recruit could resist the temptation of signing on to be the newest member the University of North Dakota Backdoor Lumberjacks?

Based on pages 33-159, I don't think they want Fighting Sioux

 

[Bret44]

I guess I don't see what is wrong with the Fighting Sioux.

The Sioux were great fighters and held off to the end, something to to be proud of.


But if not the Fighting Sioux I guess the University of North Dakota ****in' Waste of Spaces rolls off the tongue nicely.

The Cleveland Browns already own the rights to that name.

Yeah. The Fighting Sioux doesn't seem offensive at all. Redskins? Yeah, I get that. Fighting Sioux, not so much.

 

[TykeClone]

If the fighting sioux are not acceptable, maybe they should consider the "Fighting Calvary"

 

[Doc]

These are classic. I like Bison, pronounced correctly.

If I remember correctly (from the Great Native American Nickname Purge from several years ago now which cost Illinois their logo and mascot and other schools their nicknames), unlike with Florida State and Central Michigan where the Seminoles and Chippewas respectively approved the use of their names with said institutions, I don't think the Sioux ever approved the use of their name.

I like Black Gold

 

[ZachsterPoke]

My vote goes to the North Dakota Canadians.

 

[00clone]

My vote goes to the South Saskatchitoba Canadians.

Even better.

 

[MeanDean]

Fighting Sues for the women's teams? No?

 

[ThatllDoCy]

The Sioux people were treated horribly by the settlers and US Government on the plains.

I can hear the chants now. Crucify them! Crucify them! I think you meant cavalry.

Either way, I'm sure it will bother someone! :twitcy:

 

[mj4cy]

How about "PC Morons"

 

[Al_4_State]

If I remember correctly (from the Great Native American Nickname Purge from several years ago now which cost Illinois their logo and mascot and other schools their nicknames), unlike with Florida State and Central Michigan where the Seminoles and Chippewas respectively approved the use of their names with said institutions, I don't think the Sioux ever approved the use of their name.

Fair enough.

I'm fine with the involved tribe having a say in the matter.

 

[Bret44]

Lots of Prosties in ND right now. How about the Fightin' Whores?

 

[ISUagger]

Or lot lizards. That actually sounds like a mascot.
