"Victory" is the best they could come up with?

Engelstad must be rolling in his grave.

[Dylan33]

I think I missed something...explanation please?

[spearchucker]

Is that the replacement for Sioux?

[Bear55]

Is that the replacement for Sioux?

Wow I hope not, that would suck and I hate the Sioux.

[DTro]

Yes, I heard on the radio this morning that it will be the UND "Victory".

[spearchucker]

Their merchandise sales are going to tank...

[Bear55]

So they just went from having the coolest nickname and logo in all of college hockey to the worst. Seriously it sounds like a WNBA name, poor Sioux fans.

This can't be true. If UND had adopted a new nickname it would have been a huge event with a lot of publicity. There is absolutely no coverage of said "nickname" in any of the news outlets that cover the University of North Dakota.

I think some radio station was trying to get listener's going.

[Bear55]

I think you are right InTheNorthWoods, I can't find this anywhere else.

[TylerS]

[PoorWordUsage] of the highest degree. They'll be plain ol' North Dakota for a bit before even attempting to replace the mascot. They'd be stupid not to. It's way to soon to be thinking of a new nickname.

I'll be wearing my Sioux jersey with pride until they start kicking fans out for doing so.

Just won't have the same ring to it, though..."Now introducing your University of North Dakota FIGHTING...er...oops...nevermind..."

[cbrooks]

Its too bad. Since UND was force to drop the nickname there donations from the alumni has drop alot. The school is trying to raise something like a 100 million dollars by asking for donations a couple weeks ago. This school has paid a huge price. There hockey program won't suffer but other programs will sports and acrademics.

Hope their new name doesn't reflect how they played tonight against Maine. Watched the game...WOW, bad. C'mon Sioux!

I have been collecting lots of Sioux jerseys over the last 3 yrs for my two boys. I just about got one for them for each year for the rest of their lives. Glad I did; this makes me sick.....
