I know the name "Wildfire" has been mentioned on this thread before, albeit with some pretty harsh reviews. But consider this: It's got history - prairie Wildfires were an uncontrollable force of nature that caused total destruction in ND at the time of settlement. It's got significance - the UND academic logo has a flame in it. Wouldn't a team that opponents can't control and suffer total destruction be the ideal?

This is one of the few I actually like. There would nothing bad about fan of other teams calling us dirty rotten SCOUNDRELS because we always beat 'em.

Cool data. Do you know what year those numbers are from. Just wondering if they were during UND's transition. I would think UND's money from ticket sales would be going up (possibly way up) starting this year.

Do you think there are some non-conference games between Sept. 1 and Sept. 13? Would be great to get some high RPI teams on the schedule.

I do believe that UND was in full compliance with the NCAA during the time the nickname was retired (Jan - Feb 2012).
