bugs, politician bugs and populist bugs. Democrat bug is a
popular nickname in the
Midwest, especially Kansas and
Nebraska. Why do they have the
political name? From the several
explanations I read, I can say honestly that no one knows. So, I'm
asking readers for their input -I'll pass along some possible
explanations in a later column.
Q: My husband is a big Duke
Blue Devils fan. How in the world
did they get that name?
-- B.F., Pikeville, N.C.
A: In 1920, Trinity College
began playing intercollegiate
competition. (The school would
not be known as Duke until
1924.) During the first years, the
teams were known as the Trinity
Eleven, the Blue and White or
the Methodists. A movement to
find a catchy name began, and
there were numerous nominations, including Catamounts,
Grizzlies,
Badgers,
Dreadnaughts and Captains.
Campus newspaper editors
wanted to emphasize the school
colors of dark blue and white.
They suggested the names Blue
Titans, Blue Eagles, Polar Bears,
Blue Devils, Royal Blazes and
Blue Warriors. Only the Blue
Devils caught on.
