Nice list! BTW, I added Flying Fleet to the list. It's the nickname used by Erskine College in Due West, SC where my daughter attends. Incidentally, it would be a great name for UND! :)

More notably than any of those no-name colleges is the Portland Trailblazers.

If we want something unique and awesome, we are fighting an uphill battle. I think the best nicknames are all used in one way or another.
