Don't let facts get in the way of believing that our nickname came from something that ended HALF A CENTURY earlier.
Yeah, it makes so much sense that it came from a term that would not even have been used by people of this era.

Y'all are named after a train from the early 1900s?

Regardless of the team name, Bo Wallace has been dubbed "Miss Piss" for rest of the season.

Internal strife on how to treat people is from a bygone era, yet . . . something about shoes fitting or whatever.

The name became a popular nickname for the university during the 1908-1909 school year. It stuck and has been used ever since.

So it's Black Bears, Rebels and Trains? Y'all are tied with Auburn for schizophrenic nicknames.

Can't wait for the next TigerWarEaglePlanesman thread.

Even if the train story was true it's still assuming that the students got it from that. It's all the university could dig up trying to change where it came from. We know where it really came from. Not flaming, just being honest.

And y'all have been the Maroons, Aggies, A&M, State College and FINALLY became a university in 1959. Brush up on your history. I probably know more about the history of MSU than you do.
