ORIGIN OF NICKNAME The University of Toledo football team did not have a nickname until 1923, when they played Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania . Local sportswriters asked James Neal, a University of Toledo student working in the press box, to give his team a name. He called them the "Skyrockets", which the sportswriters shortened to the "Rockets". Nickname Origin , Toledo Traditions, Official Website of the Toledo Rockets. FOOTBALL |
