I remeber the Nimrods, but do you remember what the name of the school?

Watersmeet.

Hey, DeNucci... Juulie, don't you know that straw is cheaper.

MTD, Sr.

yea, grass is free.... DOn't you wish you were a cow...

Okay, now that we've got that out of the way, we can return to our more typical scintillating, rapier wit and ponderous philosophical ruminations.

NOT!!

How about Teutopolis (Il) "Wooden Shoes".

Thanks. And to think, I graduated from college in Mississippi -- guess I was paying attention some days.:D

I think the Wooden Shoes takes the cake. Prior to that I would have said that the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs was the worst followed closely by the UC Irvine Anteaters!

Those UC schools sure do have problems coming up with good mascot names!

There's a high school here in Portland (OR) that is the Aardvarks.

My favorite is from Friends University of Kansas. Friends University is a non-denominational Christian school, but as you might guess, it was originally founded by the Society of Friends (Quakers). Although their sports teams are now called the Falcons, at one time they had the self-contradictory name "Fighting Quakers". Quakers, for those of you who don't know, are generally pacifists.

Any time you can combine sports, logic and religion, that's a winner. :)

And just for a little more clarification, the official name of the school is NOT "Friends University OF Kansas". It is Friends University. It does happen to be in Kansas. Calling it F.U. is bad enough without adding a K on the end!

Whoa.

The Fighting Quakers from F.U.K.

I bet someone in the music dept could build quite a school song around that theme.

LOL...we have a small NAIA school here in WA called The Evergreen State College...their mascot is the Geoduck...it's a really large clam. Always fun to do those games...

Our college mascot was/is the Kangaroos. Kind of hard to get excited with that kind of mascot, although the cheerleaders DID try...

Sounds an awful lot like Sauna night U.P. here.

Ealier this season, the Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan University defeated the Lords of Kenyon College in football. It can't be a good thing when a religion's bishops beat up on their Lord and Sovereign

Almost as funny as the Fighting Quakers were Elon University's Fighting Christians. (I don't think they use that name anymore.) Maybe they should have played the Bishops-Lords winner?
