No doubt that jokes aren't funny if you have to explain them and maybe I have it wrong. but you are the Tribe, right? you have had issues with your name or maybe it was your mascot, right? and the topic of this thread is Tribe votes on Sioux Nickname. W&M was the first tribe that popped into my head.
:oSorry
Re: Tribe votes on Sioux Nickname
It is good that the Spirit Lake tribal members got to vote.
Let's hope the Standing Rock tribal members also get to publicly express their wishes.

No problem. I just didn't make the connection. BTW, "Have Gun, Will Travel" is my all time favorite TV show.

They should just change their name to the "7th Cavalry".

Yeah, that would definitely smooth everything over with the tribes. Plus, UND's in Grand Forks. The 7th Cav was based in Bismarck.
Re: Tribe votes on Sioux Nickname
yeah i thought it was a W&M thread also.
(greenG, he's just talking about the use of "Tribe" in the subject line... )

Not my fight, and I know the idea of being forced to change your nickname is absolutely galling, but in view of all the circumstances "Roughriders" would be a VERY COOL nickname and would solve a lot of problems.
Roughriders sounds cool to me too. It would be the second Roughriders school in Grand Forks, Red River HS is the other. I am sure UND would keep their official School colors though.
