Well Bob, I've never actually asked anyone how the "Cobbers" got their name. These few thing I do know.

1. The high school team in the same town (Moorhead, MN) is called the "Spuds"

2. There is a big corn feed every year on the concordia College campus.

3. I have never seen representations of: a)male swans; b)stocky horses; c)African migratory antelope.

Infer what you must, I imply nothing.
