What are some funny ones you've seen or heard of? I know there are some good ones out there. Like Lewisville Texas, just outside of Dallas, they're the Lewisville Fighting Farmers. Let's stick to HS. I know there some funny names for Minor League ball.

Of course, that makes the moms of the kids--- mother muckers!

Illinois High School names
Freeport and New Berlin Pretzels.

There are some others names. These are what I remember off the top of my head.

U.P.date
ESPN and the Tonight Show highlighted the Watersmeet Nimrods (U.P. of Michigan) last year.

The Nimrods made it through the districts and are headed here to Houghton this week to play in the Regionals. Regional winners go to the Michigan quarterfinals.

I went to school in Rochelle til my Dad's company transfered us to Houston. I forgot about that. We were "the Hub" of the district. In Jr High we were The Hublets.

Small world. I have officiated this school for the past 4 years. I had them on the road my last regular season game this year. I have even officiated at this school for football for a few years.

Peace

That would be Hickman High School in Columbia, Missouri.

One of my favorites is from across the river in Illinois...Teutopolis High School, home of the Wooden Shoes.

Of course, here in central IL we are blessed with several towns that have unusual names. Close by, there are the Fisher Bunnies. Yep, even the football team uses that. Then a little further south is the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes (former Dutch community), and don't forget about the Hoopeston Corn Jerkers. In fact, Thad Motta, the current Ohio State coach, is a former Corn Jerker. (Or can you ever be a "former" Corn Jerker?)

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.
