Description

Pete Fournier's interest in sports trivia and history dates back to his teenage years. During his tour of duty in Vietnam, he became very interested in the history of collegiate athletic nicknomes and moscots when he met soldiers from many different universities and colleges. Upon his return to the States. He began to collect information from magazines, books, and newspapers. He even stopped a car on the Baltimore Beltway to ask the driver the nickname of Bemidji State (the decal on the rear window). Since most of the information was collected prior to the Internet, collegiate web pages, etc., the task took many years of research and investigation.
