When I was a kid in Illinois, Kankakee HS was the "Kays". Here in Oregon, we have the Tillamook Cheesemakers.
Although this is college, it's funny. When Darryl "Mouse" Davis coached football at Portland State, the team was called the "Fighting Mice". They're really the Vikings, but Fighting Mice sounded cooler.
A few years ago, I was watching a USC - UCLA basketball game on TV. Some UCLA students had a sign that said "Flush Used Trojans".
I would have been funnier to me except my HS team was the Trojans.
