Chewey Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Long Beach State is "The Beach". I'm kind of liking "Tundra". It fits the North Dakota image -- Vast. Imposing. Unsurvivable. No thanks. Having a description of a landscape as a nickname is almost as bad as having some inane weather phenomenon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be something we are, not something of popular notion. Until that time, let's be NORTH DAKOTA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 I was talking archery with one of the guys that I work with and he mentioned Lars Andersen, which is pretty cool Scandinavian name. Pretty cool video. Archery (arrows) are making a comeback in movies/TV. Hunger Games, Brave, Game of Thrones, Avatar, Avengers, Green Arrow, Lord of the Rings, etc.. University of North Dakota Arrows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
