Battle for the Paddle t his is Nicholls H istory Ever since 1998, whenever Nicholls and Texas State meet on the gridiron they have been engaged in the annual “Battle for the Paddle.” The idea for the contest was born in 1998 after a Nicholls-Texas State game had to be rescheduled due to floods that ravaged the San Marcos, Texas area. Each season, a paddle is presented to the contest’s victor in memory of area residents who lost their lives in the flood. The wooden paddle is painted with the grey and red of Nicholls on one side and maroon and gold of Texas State on the other side. Nicholls has held onto the paddle for six of the last seven years.
