Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

It's probably the famed "second phase" of the project, similar to this....

I am guesing this is the only post #2222 on a thread ever. Congrats Stanger

You'd be surprised. Some of the threads on the PSAC subforum would make your head spin with how long they are

The PeeSack has threads that have gone on for years. Quite fascinating.

Been thinking on this for a while...but as part of them joining the NSIC, make them change their nickname. "Jimmies" is awful

After the bank robbers or funky music group?

Isn't Jimmies a derivatives of MIAC naming system.

If by that, you mean: unimaginative, lazy and lame AF. Then yes.

Johnnies, Tommies*, Gusties, Aggies, Oles, Bennies...

By that logic, we should have the Hamline Hammies. But no...

"Just turn your pretty head and walk away.........."

Very much an MIAC name- Johnnies, Tommies, Oles, Gusties, Carlton used to go by the Carls.

Fun fact from the Concordia-Moorhead website:

Before the name Cobber stuck, however, Concordia athletic teams tried out many names. Early teams were called Lutefiskers, Corncobbers, Corncobs, Concordians, Lutherans and Vikings.

MIAC has the Bennies too and St. Catherine is the Wildcats, which sorta works

For a while the actual nickname for St. Bens athletics was the Blazers but nobody called them that. Not sure what year they official changed it to the Bennies. But a fun fact for you all.

I went to a NCAA basketball playoff there decades ago to watch a gal who I had coached against when she was in HS. She gave me a Blazers cap- I didn't know that they had officially changed it but everyone called them Bennies anyway. The last St John's football game that I was at last year the coeds all seemed to be wearing Bennies apparel.

Just found it on Wikipedia. In 2019 the athletic teams at CSB were officially rebranded from the "Blazers" to the "Bennies". I sure missed the announcement at the time. Just like Bennie and the Jets.

Running out to Funk 49 as the James Gang would actually be pretty righteous.
