About Loyola University Chicago Football

After a LONG 41 year hiatus, Loyola once again has a football program. In the Fall of 2012, the new-look Ramblers took the field, building a foundation for the stability of a long, successful Football team for generations to come. Much like the 1971 championship team, this Rambler unit was formed by players of various degrees of experience. Some played varsity football throughout high school, and others had never even played football before, yet these individuals found a way to become a cohesive group of fierce competitors, focused on proving they belong in the NCFA (National Club Football Association). Loyola University Chicago is the only NCAA Division I program with the nickname “Ramblers” for its teams. The unusual moniker originated when football was a common and popular sport at Loyola. Before the 1920s, all college athletics teams were merely assigned their school colors, instead of a nickname. All Loyola teams were known as the “Maroon and Gold.” In 1925, the football coach, along with the student newspaper, conducted a contest to name the football team. The winning entry was “Grandees,” tying into the Spanish origins of St. Ignatius of Loyola. However, the name “Grandees” failed to catch on. In 1926, a more informal, but much more binding process, finally yielded the nickname: “Ramblers.” That year, because the football team traveled so extensively across the United States, “rambling from state to state,” the media dubbed Loyola as “the Ramblers.”
