I tried to look up the nickname meaning and somehow googled "Pacer knickname" :deadmanny:


Apparently it's a combination of the Indy pace cars and some reference to horse racing that I don't get.


What is a knickerbocker or laker or spur or clipper or nugget:ohhh:

Knickerbockers some sort of old school pants from colonial days.

Lakers because they used to be in Minnesota, "Land of a thousand lakes"

Spurs are what the cowboys wear I think.

Clippers are ships because they down by the ocean.

Nugget is from gold mining because they in the mountains
