Teeder11 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 OK, now that I know what it is, that is as stupid as any of the other names I have seen. Pass. And your suggestion are? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 And your suggestion are? It's easier to be on the sidelines and whine about what's happening than to be in the arena. Teddy Roosevelt said something like that once. I still trying to come up with a way to use this meterological phenomena to UND's advantage. I like how I put it here (paraphrased): Your world turns green just before you are thrashed by an unstoppable force. Quote

Cavalier (ND) High School already uses it. (; Quote
Blackheart Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Please, no meteorological related names...I thought we learned our lesson with 'Thunder' the bleacher creature. Quote
Fetch Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 I admire Teddy but how long was he here ? & the Rough Riders were never here - wasn't it in the Spanish American War ? (Cuba ?) Quote
darell1976 Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Please, no meteorological related names...I thought we learned our lesson with 'Thunder' the bleacher creature. I miss him...bring him back!! 1 Quote
sioux34 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I bet the Thunder costume is stuffed in a closet in the Slop somewhere. Quote
IrishSiouxFan Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Does anybody have a picture of Thunder they could post? I've heard a lot about him but have never seen him. Quote
darell1976 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Does anybody have a picture of Thunder they could post? I've heard a lot about him but have never seen him. Here you go...I took a pic from a 1991 UND football program. Its the only pic of him in it. 1 Quote

TBR Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I favor a rotating name. For example when we play USD we are the Coyotes. Against Montana we are the Griz. Should keep the ones at those instutions who were indignant over our name happy. Quote
Fetch Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 UND THUNDER .................I like it or thUNDer or ThUNDer Quote
Goon Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Here you go...I took a pic from a 1991 UND football program. Its the only pic of him in it. My sister was a cheer leader on that squad and wasn't Shannon O'Connor Thunder? Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 UND THUNDER .................I like it or thUNDer or ThUNDer You're kidding, right? Oklahoma City Thunder...dumbest nickname ever. Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 My sister was a cheer leader on that squad and wasn't Shannon O'Connor Thunder? Now that's an unsubstantiated rumor... Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 UND THUNDER .................I like it or thUNDer or ThUNDer There's a nearby team that goes (unofficially) by Thundering Herd ... Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 There's a nearby team that goes (unofficially) by Thundering Herd ... ...and there's that reason too. Quote
darell1976 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 There's a nearby team that goes (unofficially) by Thundering Turd ... FIFY! Quote
Fetch Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 well we would steal their Thunder in more ways than one Quote
Goon Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Now that's an unsubstantiated rumor... I just got off the phone with my sister the cheer leader and she confirms my suspicions Shannon O'Connor Thunder the Bleacher Creature. We surely can bet a beer and drink it next spring at the bar with the good food that's name now escapes me, where we had lunch at on Friday this past Final Five f you like.

I'd love to see a return of Thunder. I was a 14 when it was introduced. It was great fun for the fans. Quote
Northcountry Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 If my fading, old - age memory still serves me, I believe the official name for this character (one of the most ridiculous mascots ever conceived - or maybe second to the year we had Kermit the Frog on the ice) was THUNDAR - the Bleacher Creature.

Hayduke Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 There's a nearby team that goes (unofficially) by Thundering Herd ... I say we hire some of them to do a petition drive for a new nickname! (yeah, it's getting old already...) Quote

Nope, it was Thunder. ThundAr is the costumed buffalo in Fargo. Quote
