But there is no UND Wolves! There are worse names than this. I think it's a respectable nickname, it will take time to get use to it but it will grow.

I would prefer to go with something totally unique - and connected to the state. Corps of Discovery - the official name of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which spent more time in what would become North Dakota than any other state. Kind of a mouthful, but can be shortened to ' The Corps'. Logo possibilities abound. An aside - the expedition was largely responsible for establishing the reputation of ferocity for the Sioux Indians.

Practically rolls right off the tongue, eh?  Most interesting suggestion I've seen so far...

I love that you're thinking outside the box, but that one would take some getting used to; for me personally, anyways. From a students point of view, it sounds more like a campus committee more than a nickname. On the other hand, we could go by the Discos :silly:

Wolves is unoriginal, uninspiring, and infinitely better than whatever nickname this committee ends up actually choosing.

 

Seriously, I'm probably biased because I live in the Twin Cities, but it's too close to Minnesota's NBA team for my liking.  i could live with being the same as NC State and Nevada, but the Timberwolves connection is too close for me.

Just think...We could build a new on-campus football stadium and call it "The Den"....

 

Oh the stadium will be named Gfhockey Stadium.  The student section can be called the den though.....

 

;)

The Timberwolves franchise still exists?  I thought they folded after Garnett left  :crazy:  ;)
