University of North Dakota: "The Fighting Hawks"

I guess my University of North Dakota polo shirt with the "Fighting Sioux" logo is now a collectors item. After a year's "cooling off period", the University has decided on a new mascot: The Fighting Hawks. (My suggestion was the "Sweet Sioux".)

And get a load of this from the university president:

"I think this name underscores the tremendous competitive spirit of our athletic teams, our student athletes and the entirety of the University of North Dakota, expressing our state spirit and the fact that UND continues to ascend to new heights on a daily basis," President Robert Kelley said of Fighting Hawks.

Kelley sounds likes he's been smoking his socks.
