I know that there was a big to-do over the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux; so much so that the team evolved into the Fighting Hawks. No chance of them adopting North Dakota Doves.
And years ago the Stanford Indians became the Stanford Cardinal. Only one bird, apparently.
But Florida State is still the Seminoles; Illinois is still the Fighting Illini; and Central Michigan is still the Chippewas. What ethnicity do the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors offend?
And what in the hell are the Ragin' Cajuns raging about?
Female students at Wichita State reportedly can experience Shockers on dates! And, unfortunately, Alabama co-eds experience heavy flow with their monthlies.
Are bikini waxes prohibited at Oregon State?
Malevolent strains run in the ACC; with the Duke Blue Devils and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Some exorcism is needed there; but maybe everyone is figuring out what the hell is a Hokie? Is that a synonym for corny?

Arkansas Tech is the Wonder Boys. Or Golden Suns.
Webster University in Missouri teams are known as the Gorlocks. Named for the intersection of Gore and Lockwood Streets.
Akron University teams are known as the Zips. What is zipped, though: flies or mouths?

OMG - I never thought of THAT being a Crimson Tide!
ReplyDeleteI had to look up the Wichita State nickname.
Webster University gets mentioned in a lot of articles about mascots as do the St. Louis University Billikens.
