leopard88 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Stanford--------???????????--------Cardinal Stanford was the Indians.. . . and the Cardinals (with the S for the bird, not the color) in between.Let's also not forget --Carthage -- Redmen -- Red Men (whatever?)Lehigh -- Engineers -- Brown & White -- Packers -- Engineers -- Mountain Hawks -- NEXT??? (Go Leopards)Miami (OH) Redskins -- RedHawksDartmouth -- Indians -- Big GreenWilliam & Mary -- Indians -- Tribe (what's the difference, one might ask)Siena -- Indians -- SaintsIf you go beyond relatively recent history, there are countless examples from when nicknames were less formally recognized. For example, Maryland was usually called the Old Liners before the Terrapins name was proposed and became universally accepted. For other examples, see the attached link about ACC nickname origins -- very interesting.ACC Nickname Changes/Origins Most Liked Content of the Day -- February 15, 2017, August 21, 2017, August 22, 2017 ///// Proud Winner of the CCSLC Post of the Day Award -- April 8, 2008 Originator of the Upside Down Sarcasm Smilie -- November 1, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesuses )For those who don't know the story (from rotten.com):25 May 1980 Televangelist Oral Roberts senses an "overwhelming holy presence" and hallucinates a 900-foot-tall Jesus Christ. The deity reaches down and picks up a 60-story hospital, bragging to the Oklahoman preacher: "See how easy it is for Me to lift it!"

My bad.But the NCAA media guide I read does list school name changes (not nicknames).Still, this isn't really news, and should probably be moved to the Sports Forum or something.
