St. Cloud State Traditions: History of the Nickname
The Husky Nickname: St. Cloud State's nickname has gone through several changes over the years. Early nicknames included "Normals," "Teachers," "Bear Cats," "Peds," and "Flying Clouds." There are several theories about how the nickname "Huskies" began to be used. One says that it is a result of a student contest. Another suggests that the name originated with the football team. There was a story in the February 4, 1938, edition of the College Chronicle which referred to the "football huskies." Since huskies was not capitalized in the story, the author could have been referring to the team's size, and this possibly led to the nickname. Another theory is that the nickname originated within the football team. "I think it occurred during Coach Kasch's days as football coach (1935-42)," said John Weisman, former SCSU Dean of Men and former coach. "The team just started calling themselves the "Huskies." Why the name was chosen or who exactly selected it remains unclear. The name could have been intended to mean "burly, robust or large," "one that is husky," or "a heavily coated working dog of the arctic region.” Perhaps the nickname was meant to encompass all three meanings. Regardless of its origin, the Husky nickname continues to represent SCSU as a symbol and image of strength.
The St. Cloud State Rouser
Oh, here we are, the gang and all, to cheer our team to victory. SCSU has heard the call, We're here to show our loyalty, RAH! RAH! Come on team fight, We'll win this game, and to our colors we'll be true. We'll sing our song, both loud and long, to victory — S.C.S.U.
The St. Cloud State Hymn
Sing to thee our Alma Mater, High on oakcrowned banks, Emblem of our search for knowledge, Symbol of our youthful ranks, Filled with fires of true ambition, Let us ever be; Loyal to thy fine tradition, Hail St. Cloud, to thee. By the river’s flowing water, By its islands fair, may the loyal sons and daughters, thy enduring friendship share. May they with sincere ambition, through the years e’er be; Loyal to thy fine tradition, Hail St. Cloud, to thee.

WILSON Assistant Coach Brady Wilson will start his eighth season as an assistant coach with the St. Cloud State University wrestling team in 2018-19. He has played an important role in the recent success of the the wrestling program at St. Cloud State. In the past seven seasons with Wilson on the staff, SCSU has won three NCAA Division II championships in 2018, 2016 and 2015 along with second place finishes at the NCAA championships in 2017, 2012 and 2013. The Huskies have also won seven consecutive NSIC championships in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. A 2009 graduate of Minnesota State University, Wilson served as a graduate assistant coach at his alma mater in 2010-11 and he received a graduate degree in sports management from Minnesota State University in 2011. Wilson brings a wealth of collegiate wrestling experience to the St. Cloud State wrestling room. At Minnesota State, Wilson was a four-time All-American, a four-time conference champion and a four-time NCAA regional champion during his collegiate wrestling career. At the NCAA Division II championships, Wilson earned top five finishes at 285-pounds in all four seasons of his career, including a second place finish in 2010. He set a record at Minnesota State with 143 wins during his career and he was named MSU’s Athlete of the Year and Student-Athlete of the Year in 2010. A 2005 graduate of Faribault High School in Faribault, Minn., Wilson earned MSHSL state champion honors in 2005 while posting a 109-30 career record as a prep athlete. At Faribault High School, Wilson also gained NHSCA, Greco Juniors and Fila Freestyle All-America accolades. Wilson helped lead the MSU Mavericks to a 10th place finish at the 2011 NCAA Division II championships. He coached three All-American and six national qualifiers during the 2010-11 season in Mankato. “I’ve had the privilege to know Brady (Wilson) over the years as a competitor and as a coach,” said Coach Steve Costanzo. “He is an excellent choice to fill the role as head assistant wrestling coach and will help build our young men into life champions on and off the mat. He is a great fit for our program.”
