That just might be the solution.

Re: Fighting Suzie's

What's the inflection our neighbors to the North use at the end of a sentence, eh, ea? Can't spell it, not sure I can expell it out of my throat.
Have to work it in somewhere with the "Almost" idea.

Re: Fighting Suzie's

Hm. "Fightin' Queen Suzies." Or maybe even "Fightin' Queens."

Can you even say "Fightin' Queens?" Can you even think it without being a Bad Person???

I must go sit in the corner for a while . . .

Re: Fighting Suzie's

Didn't UTH come up with "Flying Snot Rockets" some time ago? I was always kinda partial to that one.

I can't take credit for this one, but how 'bout "Sandbaggers"? Could reference UND's performance on the field/court/rink and/or the spring weather in ND.

Vermillion played that one down at Latitude 44 a few weeks ago, everyone at our table that knew it was singing along with it.

"Roller Derby Queen" and the story behind it:

Re: Fighting Suzie's

I'm gonna tell you a story you won't believe. I fell in love last Friday evening with a girl on a barroom TV screen. Well, I was just getting ready to get my hat, when she caught my eye and I put it back, and ordered myself a couple more shots and beers.I fell in love with a roller derby queen, meanest hunk of woman that anybody ever seen, down at the arena.

One of my Field Operation Supervisors with the Border Patrol in San Diego was a member of the LA T-Birds Roller Derby team before she joined the Patrol. She was also Raquel Welch's stand-in when Raquel Welch made the Roller Derby movie.

Here's a question:
What's more of a "sport"?
1. Roller Derby
2. WWE Wrestling
3. Dissing the "U's"
4. Unraveling how the heck we got from Suzies to Raquel Welch

Re: Fighting Suzie's

A Team Named Sue
(apologies to Johnny Cash)

Well the big boys left for D-1 in '0-03
Didn't leave much for the N-C-C
Just this flat pigskin and an empty bottle of booze
Now I don't blame the Bison 'cause they run and hid
But the meanest thing they ever did
Was before they left, they went and named us "Sue"

Well, they must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems we had to fight the whole season through
Some tackle'd giggle and we'd get red
And some guard'd laugh and we'd bust his head,
We tell ya, life ain't easy for a team named "Sue."

Well, we grew up quick and we grew up mean,
Our fists got hard and our wits got keen,
We'd roam from town to town to hide our shame.
But we made a vow to the Summit and stars
We'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill whoever gave us that awful name.

Well, it was Devils Lake in mid-July
And we just hit town and our throats was dry,
We thought we'd stop and have ourselves a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named us "Sue."

Well, we new that snake was the one called Lakes
From a worn-out jersey on his back that night
And we knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and rowdy and bold,
And we looked at him and our blood ran cold
And we said: "Our name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now you're gonna die!!"
....

I tell ya, we've fought tougher men
But we really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.

He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"

We got all choked up and threw down our guns
And we called him Lakes, and he said it'd been fun,
And we came away with a different point of view.
And we think about him, now and then,
Every time we try and every time we win,
And if we ever reach the Summitt, we're going to name him
Larry or Bill or Bison Lou.
Anything but Sue!

Depending on what William & Mary decides, the Fighting Asparagus might be available.
