I am really confused now. I guess the retired nickname thing means that we can start calling NDSU the Sues from now on??

That's about as intelligent as getting Ohio State University and Ohio University mixed up.

This isn't the first time something like that has happened.

During UOP's three-year run to the NCAA Tournament back in the mid-2000's, Pacific University of Forest Grove, OR (a D-III school, no less) got congratulatory calls. THIS sword cuts both ways, though. UOP got congratulatory calls when Pac U resurrected their long-dormant football program.

The NCAA was so used to sending UND Division 1 National Championship banners (7 in hockey) that they only had UND's mailing address handy. NCAA probably said " NDSU...are they DI?"

The last hockey banner for UND was 12 years ago. The nickname is the only thing that has Grand Forks on the NCAA radar.

Sending the banner to the wrong schools does add credence to UND receiving votes in some of the football polls. If the governing body can't tell the difference, how are the coach's and Ad's going to know.

And here NDSU fans thought they were so far ahead of UND. I guess with UND getting ranked and now getting a Championship banner....they are on the same page.

I'd say it's easier to get University of Miami and University of Miami-Ohio confused.

Its funny that there is no Miami, Ohio...its in Oxford, Ohio.

I love the sign at the VA hospital in Fargo that says...UND Parking. I don't see any NDSU parking in Grand Forks. Hmmm.

You can have the parking, we'll keep the FCS Championship trophy, I don't see one of them in Grand Forks.

Funnier still: the University of Miami is actually located in Coral Gables.
