"The Wolf Pack"
The Nevada Wolf Pack, one of only two teams nationally to use
the desi-
gnation (North Carolina State is the other, though they use Wolfpack as one word while Nevada uses two
wor-
ds with a capital 'P'), has been using the Wolf Pack designation since at least the early 1920s.
Nevada's first athletic teams in the late 1890s and early 1900s were ref-
erred to as the Sagebrushers or even the
The Sierra Nevada mountains, located immediately to the west of Reno and prominent on the city's skyline, were
and still are the home to numerous wild wolves. Residents and university students were famili-
ar with the
animal.
In the 1921-22 athletic season, a lo-
cal writer described the spirited play of a Nevada team as a 'pack of
wolve-
s'. The name stuck and soon almost every reference to the athletic teams was the Nevada Wolves. In 1923,
the students officially designated 'Wolves' as the school's mascot.
Since all teams are a group of playe-
rs, the word pack followed quickly. In 1928-29, the Nevada student han-
dbook referred to the athletic teams as Wolf Pack and two school songs were adopted, entitled 'The Wolf Pack'
The two 'wolf packs' in interc-
ollegiate athletics have met only onc-
e. North Carolina State and Nevada
were paired in the first round of the 1985 NCAA Basketball Tournament in Albuquerque, N.M. North Caroli-
na
State won, 65-56. |
