Nickname
Creighton adopted a Bluejay as its mascot in 1924, when the University’s athletic board selected the name from submissions for a contest run by the Omaha Bee newspaper.
Conference championships
Creighton won three conference titles. The Bluejays won two North Central Conference championships and one Missouri Valley Conference championship.
End of the Football Team
In 1942, every football player was drafted to fight in World War II and the school suspended the football program for what transpired as an permanent event. To this day, the Creighton bookstore sells T-shirts that read, "Creighton Football: Still Undefeated," referencing the fact that the team has not lost any games in that time period.
