campus was covered with Sioux logos today, everyone was wearing as much Sioux stuff as possible. unfortunately the overwhelming support showed up once people realized all to late  that they were actually going to go through with it.

They just voted out the logo shown on the top avatar as the schools mascot after nearly 80 years (I think).  May be the Ralph will keep them all according to an article on wdaz.com

it will be interesting to see what happens with the ralph, I doubt they are going to fork out the money to remove the logos everywhere and im pretty sure the school wont pay for it either....  Ill post some pictures of the more elaborate ones if i can get them tomorrow when I go there.

 



I remember hearing something about how he put in his will that if they changed the name they are supposed to demo the ralph and leave the land undeveloped for 100 years or something like that. don't know if its true, but if it is that might be an interesting legal battle....

ralph englestad was very admant about keeping the sioux name. and believe me, im just peeved over this. but i heard on the news today that they arent going to take the logo's out, because the ralph isn't owned by the school.

The same type of cowards that kowtowed over the CHS Redskin name have done the same here. I hope the Ralph stays loaded with logos and the students continue for years to come to show their support of the nickname  at each game regardless of the sport.

the Shrine Circus was in town so I couldn't get in to get pictures of the good stuff, but maybe when its gone.



this was on the outside of the main entrance















and the statue of 'Ol Ralph outside the Sioux Shop  the Bronze circles in the railing at the top are etched logos, they are everywhere throughout the building.

it wont. they had the pow wow this weekend and the school set up tons of ash trays on our "smoke free" campus for them. I like how they are allowed to smoke, but I can't.

I'm still in WI, but check in from time to time. Would love to move back to ND if I could find a job that paid worth a pinch. Everything I found would have been a drop from E-5. I at least found a job paying the same I was making as an E-5.

Fiance is from Minot, so we get back every now and then. Looking like September-ish might be the next trip.
