While we're on this subject, let's not forget our other Oregon major college, Portland State. Their teams are called the Vikings. I have no idea why. Vikings never made it this far west. However, when Darryl "Mouse" Davis was the head football coach, the team was affectionally known as the "Fighting Mice."
BTW - Mouse was the architect of the run-and-shoot offense and coached Neil Lomax using it when Neil threw for about 10 million yards in college. PSU actually won games then by scores of 93-6 and 102-14. One of the teams they beat was Cal-Poly San Louis Obispo coached by Darryl Lamonica. The other victim was Delaware State. After that game, the PSU baseball coach was quoted in the paper as inquiring if Delaware State had a baseball team.
That was cold.
