The student body held an election to decide on a new nickname, and while Robber Barons garnered the most support, new president Donald Kennedy expressed his concern that the moniker was disrespectful to school founder and railroad magnate Leland Stanford.

Some of the other suggestions that were considered include Golden Falcons, Statesmen, Crackers, Tarpons and Fighting Warriors.
And any Florida fan that can't find great troll-bait hidden in the middle of this part of the entry on FSU is unworthy of being considered a CFB fan.

Interesting that FSU stole the name of their older, in-state rival's yearbook... just like the tsippers stole ours. But that is only one of a long list of football traditions they stole/copied from A&M, like their fight song, hand signals, hex rallies, etc.
