HONORABLE MENTION:UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-OMAHA FOOTBALL TEAM

Posted on October 15, 2007 - Filed Under Indian Mascots |

Honor Indians Institute would like to honor the University of Nebraska-Omaha football team for defeating the 2^nd ranked North Dakota Fighting Sioux, 28-17 on Saturday. It was probably the last meeting between the two schools as North Dakota is moving to division I next year.

The University of North Dakota has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, the last count was over $500,000 dollars, in legal fees fighting the NCAA in an attempt to maintain the “Fighting Sioux” mascot, which earned them the Alternative Indian Mascot name of “Fighting Sue.” Maybe the money would be better spent upgrading their athletic department if they expect to compete at the Division I level, or, better yet, purchasing Indian Mascot Offsets from Honor Indian Institute.

The UNO football team also has at least 6 members that have taken classes from me! I only hope that they took a little extra satisfaction in beating the “Fighting Sioux.”
