MafiaMan Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 How about 'Hawks'? Like the Miami RedHawks but only Fighting Hawks instead? Or GreenHawks? How about River Hawks (UMass-Lowell)? Quote

ericpnelson Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 If we are the oilers we can play the blow-out scene from "There will be blood" every time we stomp someone. Also, it makes the lives of newspaper writers easy... "Oilers Drill (Opponent)". Everytime. No need for originality, we'll call it tradition. If we have a comeback victory... "Oilers dig deep for win"... writes itself. Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I am starting to warm up to Oilers. And with all the cute headline ideas, I bet Schlossman is too. Quote

The Oilers refined as the season went along. Sloppy Win? Oilers get crude win. Good win? make a number of sweet jokes. Winning streak? Oilers keeping pumping. Quote

scpa0305 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I kind of like oilers as well. Has meaning, isn't owned by 100 other schools. Hmmm. Quote
runaroundsioux Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Naming a school in Grand Forks Oilers would be like naming a school in Williston Sugar Beets. 2 Quote
cberkas Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Naming a school in Grand Forks Oilers would be like naming a school in Williston Sugar Beets. I agree with you on that, if Grand Forks was on the western side of the state I could see Oilers. Quote
SiouxVolley Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Naming a school in Grand Forks Oilers would be like naming a school in Williston Sugar Beets. Williston does have sugar beets in the Yellowstone valley. Oil can be from sunflowers, soybeans, safflower. There's crushing plants all over ND. Quote
