Whatsa Zag?

And here I thought they were the Bulldogs, which is a pretty good nickname. You could even urbanize the name and call them Da Dawgz, I suppose. IMO, "The Zag Pound" just doesn't have a good vibe to it. Maybe they don't like the idea of being short-legged ugly pugs with no personality.


Go Bison!!!

I've never understood that. I think someone just all of a sudden decided to call them Zags one time and it stuck. Pretty sad when you would rather be that then your actual nickname. Maybe we should call ourselves the N-Daks.

UN_ will be the Nodaks...Or, as they will always be known by their opponents, the Nodiks.

According to Wikipedia, this is a Zag:

Hey Washington is actually ahead of the curve. In our medieval state it's a friggin misdemeanor for a dime bag of weed... your "zags" would then qualify as drug paraphernalia and you now have 2 misdemeanors. Might as well outlaw dancing too.

On the Jack Michaels Show yesterday, he was talking about how weird it was seeing people lighting up bowls in the open without any worry.

Probably a bit of a culture shock but that's the way it should be... free country.

This thread is hilarious!

Somewhere around '97 Gonzaga's AD Mike Roth initiated a number of changes to the brand and its marketing. One of these changes was the introduction of "Zags" as an unofficial but broadly used moniker. It was a differentiating effort, I think, given the number of Bulldog teams out there.

And the nickname certainly has its detractors in the fanbase. Many purists just don't like it. Myself, I kind of like the uniqueness. Shrug.

As for legalization, it's been a nice step forward for our state (not to mention a money-maker). If you think seeing someone light up without worry is unusual, try shopping in a retail store with a menu board, friendly staff and chill customers. I'm still not used to it.

If you hang around here enough, or read some previous threads; it does get pretty rediculious around here. But we like to be right on the border of relivence and absurd.
