        Being considered:

        Inquisition - nobody expects the Inquistion!
        Manifest Destineers
        Narwahls - swimming in the ocean, causing a commotion..
        Neanderthals
        sandbaggers


        looks like yeti is under consderation as well, that will help with those that can't spell 'abominable'

            I don't think that would upset them, I think that would make them point and laugh along with everyone else.

              I think my favorite suggestion on the "not considered" list was the one clearly submitted by Old Pio - the North Dakota Libtards.

                Anyone know if this list was leaked or published by UND? A short list of accepted and rejected names seems more appropriate. Many names are bad and it just doesn't seem ultra professional to air this kind of laundry...in fact embarrassing comes to mind.

                      Well, at the end of the South Park episode with that, they found the complainers dead, so maybe you'll end up being able to go back to being THE SIOUX DAMMIT!

                        They published it on purpose. It seems they're choosing to err on the side of openness.

                        I know nothing of North Dakota's sunshine laws, but given that UND is public I think it's likely that both lists - or excerpts thereof - would have come out eventually anyways. This way, they control the timing of it, everybody gets an offseason chuckle and they can get on with putting out the (probably predetermined) shortlist.

                          This UND grad thinks the list is fun, and if the question had crossed my desk, I'd have said "publish."

                          Further proof that we UND grads form a sophisticated and intellectually gifted community.

                          And even if we become known as the "bowl of turds," we have enough self esteem to know that is a little harsh.

                            Why should they feel any more embarrassed than they already do? Let's face it most of those names were appropriate.


                            Kidding aside, I think it's fantastic that they recognized the humor and they're not responsible for all the trolling that went on. The only slightly ridiculous part was the fan or fans that kept repeating the old nickname as if they were somehow taking a stand or showing great defiance.

                            Que sera, sera.

                              I like that there were 35 submissions for 'Eagles'.

                                Given rooting interests from 2006, they should just call themselves the Crusaders.
