RaiderMan Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Can anyone tell me the significance of "Roll the Raiders"? Is it just somethnig ya'll started saying for the Tech game or is it a standard UND yell, like "Roll the Bison" or "Roll the Gophers"? I've never heared the phrase and I'm curious about it. Thanks.

There is no historical significance. It's brand new and my guess is it was first used just because of the alliteration. Roll the Raiders sounds good. Rolling another school with a nickname that doesn't start with R doesn't fit quite as well. But who knows. Maybe it will catch on, especially if UND finds a way to win.

GeauxSioux Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 I agree. I think Doc just made it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechFirst Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 There will be a live game-day thread over at Double T Nation tomorrow as well. Any Sioux fans are welcome to join in there if you like. You have to register to post comments, but that's about it. (To my knowledge, it's the only Tech site that doesn't charge a fee to see all the articles, etc.) We're just a bunch of Tech fans (mostly alums and students) and are generally pretty nice guys and gals. http://www.doubletnation.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
