UND Boomers?

Re: UND Boomers?

Faber College's mascot - the Mongols - and the college's motto, "Knowledge is good," remain classics of the genre. ........Along with Belushi-Blutarsky's line, "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

On this UND mascot thing, what WOULD Dean Vernon Wormer do?

He'd put it on double-secret probation!

Re: UND Boomers?

The changing of a nickname can get expensive. So I propose that they change the name to the "UND Buffalo." Then they can just use a logo that the state already has access to and just change the colors.

A green and white buffalo with a pink snort, that would be a sight. I think our friends in Fargo would be appoplectic.

Re: UND Boomers?

I wish. But nicknames like that are rather olde tymey.

Just look at the Summit League. The interesting nicknames are Leathernecks, Jackrabbits, and Kangaroos, and they're all old. The modern nicknames: Eagles, Grizzlies, Jaguars (which combined aren't half as old as the Jackrabbits nickname) are blandsville. I expect that UND will either go with Rough Riders and endure an endless procession of prophylactic jokes, or they will go with something idiotic and singular, or they will go with something common and dull as dishwater.

The Jackrabbits are unique.

BTW: I want to see the Augie Vikings play the Augie Vikings

Remember back a few years when USF played USF in the NAIA National Championship football game. Univ of Sioux Falls vs Univ of St. Francis. Plus I think they were both the cougars.
