[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1326736, member: 619279"] Fair enough, point still stands. If North Dakota university wins (whatever level they are) championship, I'm sure their fans won't be kicking themselves because they won as the Fighting Hawks and not the Fighting Sioux. And I agree, I would like to keep the name Fighting Illini, and I assume we will. It will be easier to keep if you tie it to a new mascot though, and distance it away from people associating it with American Indians (no matter how much people explain that it came from WWI solider students).
