1963chief, do you think that the University of North Dakota should change their mascot to the Ermines?
As background, they used to be the Fighting Sioux. Then someone got huffy about Native American stuff, so they hired a consulting firm that recommended the stupidest name ever, the Fighting Hawks.
Ermines would be an awesome name. Ermines are native to eastern North Dakota where the university is located, they're fearsome animals that often take on larger creatures, and they're mostly white, all of which describe North Dakota. The Ermines name would also match up well with other school mascots in the region such as Michigan (Wolverines), Wisconsin (Badgers), and Minnesota (Gophers).
What do you think? A stupid name like Fighting Hawks or an awesome name like Ermines?
