The university nickname, the Tornado, was adopted in 1922 following a 206-0 football win over North Carolina rival Lenoir College. The headline in a local newspaper covering the event said "King College's Victory Was 'Tornado' Of Week's Games" and began referring to the football team as the "Tornado". This is a record score which stands in the annals of collegiate football as one of the highest ever won in a game of Football.
