Although this is a topic that we beat to death several years ago on the message board, perhaps it’s time to bring it up again. Chuck E.T. blogs about memorable sports team nicknames and we have several of our own in Division III, some of which he mentions.
So, in the spirit of the Adrian Yos, the Wheaton Chaff, the Neumann Hellos, the Linfield Fly, etc., give us your best re-nicknaming of a current Division III team. And I can think of some new ones that have presented themselves since we last did this exercise, but I’ll give you folks a fair shot at putting them out there first.
All I ask is that you try to limit yourselves to a handful so the first people out of the gate don’t take all the good ones from the latecomers. 🙂
I remember when we did this before, and am glad to see a return. We can always use a little levity! With my cranium straining under the weight of bar review material, I’ll just throw out three renicknames I offered up the last time; two from the MIAA and one that was a joke practically nobody got:
Albion Monkey’s Uncles
Alma Aching Backs
Ferrum Corpus (so the team cheer would be Ave Ferrum Corpus!)
🙂
Wittenberg Theses
Wartburg Ink Stains
Hope Aspirations
Calvin Reformers
Capital Domes
Good to see someone else who remembers when Endicott was the Power Gulls.
I’ve used lots of re-nicknames, but my favorite two are the Clamorin’ Clucks of Trinity College and the Green Meanies of McDaniel.
