A nickname no one can grouse about...


GoTAILS

This guy's a bison troll. Put him on ignore like I just did. Go away, JBB.

This is 100% absolutely serious. A couple of my friends and I came up with this earlier this week. We're all hardcore UND fans but realize a name change is coming sooner or later. Think about it?

--It would be a unique name - no other college in the US has it.

--Sharptail grouse are native to ND and Minnesota, so there it a connection there.

--Keep "Fighting" as a tie to the current name - even though what these grouse door is technically more dancing than fighting.

--"Tails" is also a reference to Flickertails - UND's original name

There are other advantages too!

Great then we can have SharpTail Hunting. Why not just change the name from Sioux to the Prairie Chickens

There is a connection! Grouse and Prairie chickens both have what? What is a prominent feature of the current Sioux logo? Imagine, as the Sharptails, students dressing up in feather costumes - doing the Sharptail strut while everyone in the crowd has their, uhhum, usual attire on?? That would be an odd picture! :)

Sharp Tails and Prairie Chickens both do dances during the mating season. They both have distinct tails.
