TMQ just wrote something about this school nickname. The girls' teams are called the "Lady Alices".

East Hampton, Connecticut "Bellringers", used to be a bell factory in town.

Moodus, Connecticut "Little Noises" (Native Americans heard noises from the ground probably caused by minor earthquakes, possibly caused by elastic rebound after the glaciers melted after the most recent glacial period.

When Darryl "Mouse" Davis coached the football team at Portland State University, the team was jokingly called the "Fighting Mice".

My son's favorite is the woman's basketball team at Wake Forest - the "Lady Demon Deacons".

The University of Oregon has a fighting duck for a mascot. If their mascot ever had to fight the one from Oregon State, I'm not sure who would win - a duck or a beaver. Neither one really strikes fear into one's heart.

At least Portland State is the Vikings.

Disagree. I've seen some beavers that were absolutely terrifying,

Canadians know that the Beaver always swallows the duck.
