I think that Idaho's nickname should be changed because it promotes violence. What about this for a nickname: the Idaho Blizzards.

Hey guy -- football is a violent sport. Go Vandals -- kick some WAC butt!!!!

I cannot beleive that the name Vandals would be considered for change. Change every team name to Wuz.

Uh, aren't hurricanes pretty violent too? I guess we should have Miami and Tulsa look for new names now..

i didn't realize promoting violence through team nicknames was an issue.

idaho blizzard? promotes snow, which causes accidents, which results in injuries and death, which is violent. terrible, just terrible.

how about the idaho palouse? promotes farming. which, actually, is excessively violent when the combines savagely sheer off the innocent wheat and grain stems in the prime of their lives, poor wheat and grains.

how about the idaho baby bunnies?

nah. they bite. and pee on you when they're scared, which they usually are. that's both violent and messy.

idaho tractors? nope. burn fossil fuels, which is made from dinosaurs, which were incredibly violent (we think.)

maybe they should be the idaho oompa-loompas? they weren't violent at all. well...except when they squeezed the juice out of the girl that turned into a blueberry. ew. that's violent, messy AND gross. no oompa-loompas.

idaho cows? nope. ever tip a cow? very, very violent.

how about the idaho gloria steinem-adoring feminists with raging PMS? no violence there.



BWA-HAAA-HAHAAAA-AHAHA-Aaahaahaaaahaaaaha.... whew! mercy, that was funny.


idaho spuds? promotes being buried alive in the cold cold ground for weeks at a time. very violent.

idaho footballers? directly promotes a violent game. dumb, too.

idaho tree sloths? they can be extremely violent when you wake them with a sharp stick. especially the feminist ones.

how about the idaho emoticons?
:biggun: :saber:
ew. nope. too violent.

idaho idawhores? no, whores can be violent with their leather and whips and chains and nasty two-heade--- um... i, uh...

no idahwhores.

idaho fuzzy things? can cause violent choking.

idaho pansies? idaho rose bushes? idaho pretty flower team? nah. flowers themselves promote violence if you forget to give them. or worse, give them to the wrong girl. or even worse, give the wrong flowers to the wrong girl. violence galore.

guess that clinches it. all nicknames are violent.

idaho vandals it is.

I simply am astonished that this "David Krysakowski" person keeps posting single-sentence off-the-wall remarks on every college messageboard in America.

One of his posts said, "The Sun Belt should kick out Idaho and Denver." That's all he said.

Another thread started by him said, "The Sun Belt is going to add Western Kentucky for football." And that all he said. He didn't even elaborate or regard the fact that WKU is happy in 1-AA.

And now he says that Idaho should change their nickname because it promotes violence?

What the heck is this crap?

Almost every single nickname out there (including the one's named after animals) promote violence!

I suppose everybody should change their nicknames to the "Fairies" or the "Pillows" or maybe even the "Friendship Crew"!

Got it:

THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO NEUTERS

The pillows?? Have you not heard of the terrible epidemic going around sororities known as "Pillow Fighting".. Oh, it's so painful to watch! :D

For once I have to agree with BlueRaiderPride. I have no clue who this "David Krysakowski" guy is, nor do I care. I did a Google search on him tho. Found his name listed on a number of cites crediting him for information supplied to them, etc. I guess he figures he's some sort of football expert, but he sure doesn't know squat about the W.A.C. Doesn't stop him from posting his uninformed messages about the WAC (and just about everything else) tho does it? :withstupid:

Bikini mud wrestling amongst hot sorority girls is also painful to watch.

But that's a different kind of pain. . . . :D

This is good stuff. If they change their school name------- then maybe the rest of the nation will not know them as the Vandulls.

I have an idea. Maybe they rename the Kibbie Dome to the Kiddie Dome. Then they can be the Kiddies.

Now that shouldn't be to violent. :D

Actually the vandal could become the Yankees and the Broncos could change to the Rebels. That would reflect how they really feel about each other....Too Bad Oregon and Oregon State already have the Civil War...

I still think there should be a name for the Bronco/vandal football game.....along the lines of the Apple Cup/Civil War!!!!!! I know that there is the Idaho Cup Trophy for the winner of the game, but still no cool name and I don't think Potato Cup would be it!

I think David should change his name. Didn't David kill Golith? That name promotes violence.
