So did Hamline get their mascot name from the story of "The Pied Piper of Hamelin"? If they did that's a very interesting choice since that character was a rat catcher who ended up taking revenge on the people of Hamelin by luring away the children of the town with his magic pipe just like he had done previously to cure the town of its rat infestation. They refused to pay him the agreed upon fee to get rid of the rats so that's why he lured the children away never to be seen again! So he goes from being a rat catcher to a kidnapper and possible murderer. Now that's a helluva mascot for any school to choose! Lol.Last edited by shelfit; 03-16-2019, 10:00 AM.

If you read the whole thing you'll see that back in the 1920's when they decided to change their name from the Red and Gray, one of the options that was considered was The Cardinals! Now think about that for today's championship game!UWS Ladyjackets

I do like how they start out talking about how the Pipers are the courageous flute players that lead the troops and lifted their spirits.Last edited by shelfit; 03-16-2019, 10:52 AM.

Re: D3 18-19 season
Somewhat off topic but Hamline related: Hamline University is known as the “birthplace of intercollegiate basketball.” Hamline hosted and played in the world’s first intercollegiate basketball game on February 9, 1895. The Pipers took on the School of Agriculture, which was connected with the University of Minnesota, losing by a score of 9-3. Though the rules and the way the game was played are different from today’s game, the game was truly an historic moment, not only for Hamline, but for the future of collegiate basketball.4 & 20 The All-American Sister's
