tnt Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 With the Rattlesnakes in Western North Dakota, maybe "Sidewinders" would fit a North Dakota theme. Of course, since some say Sioux translates to "Snake in the Grass", someone would take offense.
Sodbuster Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 You'll never guess where I got it , but what about Sodbusters? Kinda works for North Dakota. Does anyone else have it? (For the record, I mean Division 1 or professional)I, for one, love it! 2

Oxbow6 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 ugh... I hate snakes with the passion of a thousand suns One of the all-time classic ND HS nicknames is the Rattlers of Glen Ullin. I like it.
GeauxSioux Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 One of the all-time classic ND HS nicknames is the Rattlers of Glen Ullin. I like it. FAMU is the Rattlers.
Goon Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Roadrunners? Are there roadrunners in ND? I don't know, I think it's too cold. How about Honkers?
Fetch Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Kenmare was the Honkers - I always liked the name - we played them in BB in HS back in the 60's - No school there anymore
zonadub Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Roadrunners? Are there roadrunners in ND? Roadrunners are skinny pheasants. Pheasants are just as likely to take off running instead of flying, like roadrunners. Bodies are vaguely similar. Pheasants are more colorful, especially with the green head. Sioux Falls' Northern Legue baseball team uses it, but no colleges. Not my favorite, but better than most names thrown around on here.
ScottM Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Roadrunners? Are there roadrunners in ND? You're more likely to find them in the southwest such as in Arizona and New Mexico.
Oxbow6 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 You're more likely to find them in the southwest such as in Arizona and New Mexico. Or in a cartoon w Wile E. Coyote
runaroundsioux Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Kenmare was the Honkers - I always liked the name - we played them in BB in HS back in the 60's - No school there anymore Uh ya there is. It has an enrollment around 300 k-12.
Goon Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Roadrunners are skinny pheasants. Pheasants are just as likely to take off running instead of flying, Ha! That made me laugh.

Siouxphan27 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 You're more likely to find them in the southwest such as in Arizona and New Mexico. That doesn't stop people from liking the Roughrider nickname, even though they were from the southwest as well.
MafiaMan Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 One of the all-time classic ND HS nicknames is the Rattlers of Glen Ullin. Yes it was! Man, what an incredible boys basketball team in the 1980's too. Great nickname. Not to be outdone though by the nickname of the school that beat them in the 1986 Region 8 title game: Bantams.
MafiaMan Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Kenmare was the Honkers - I always liked the name - we played them in BB in HS back in the 60's - No school there anymore WHAT? No more Bowbells Eskimos and now THIS? I suppose you'll be telling me next that the Woodworth-Pettibone-Robinson Wolfpack and the Grenora Gophers are gone as well.
Fetch Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Man I never liked Grenora Gophers now that must be part of the reason I hate Gophers
runaroundsioux Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 WHAT? No more Bowbells Eskimos and now THIS? I suppose you'll be telling me next that the Woodworth-Pettibone-Robinson Wolfpack and the Grenora Gophers are gone as well. The Kenmare Honkers are alive and well. Have an enrollment around 300 and growing.
Fetch Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I'm glad to hear that - they musta been close to shutting down at one time ?
runaroundsioux Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I'm glad to hear that - they musta been close to shutting down at one time ? No, Kenmare has always been healthy. Don't think their K-12 has ever been below 200-250.
Blackheart Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Yes it was! Man, what an incredible boys basketball team in the 1980's too. Great nickname. Not to be outdone though by the nickname of the school that beat them in the 1986 Region 8 title game: Bantams. Just found my Hoopster book from 1984-85, Glen Ullin, lead by Mr Everything Kevin Gerving, were looked as one of the favorites in Region 8. (Bowman was 1, Glen Ullin 2)
Shawn-O Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Just found my Hoopster book from 1984-85, Glen Ullin, lead by Mr Everything Kevin Gerving, we're looked as one of the favorites in Region 8. What was the Region 3 outlook?
Blackheart Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 What was the Region 3 outlook? Here's what they predicted for the region...they also broke down each district...IIRC, Langdon came through this region, taking down Cavalier in the regional final. 1 Cavalier 2 Border Central 3 Langdon 4 Bisbee-Egeland 5 Cando 6 Lankin-Adams 7 Park River 8 North Border
