Am I wrong or am I right. Is it true that the Falls Broncos were named something different before Bronko Nagurski came around. As in the team name. Or were they always called the Broncos? <p></p><i></i>

If I remember right, the Falls did not have just one name. Then Athletic Director, Walt Scheela, (Scheela baseball field fame) thought they should have one name for all sports teams.<br>This was sometime around 1948-1950 I am thinking. He thought Bronco (with a C, after Bronko with a K) would be appropriate. <p></p><i></i>
