I tweeted this same thing yesterday. For the UND fans that want the name Flickertails. This is what we're talking about. Does that remind you of anything?
This should cause people to stop and think. Ahem, do we want the University of North Dakota to referred to as Flickertails? Seriously?
By definition: A Flickertial is a Richardson's ground squirrel (Urocitellus richardsonii), or the flickertail, is a North American ground squirrel in the genus Urocitellus. Like a number of other ground squirrels, they are sometimes called Dak Rats or gophers, though this name belongs more strictly to the pocket gophers of family Geomyidae.
No! I will take a pass on this nickname as well. I am not interested in having the battle of the grounds squirrels.
Like old times....
