I love the list. I was googling ‘vandals’ because there is a guy in my apartment complex with a Vandals flag hanging every Saturday…nice.

I love what the USC Trojans used to be called when they first got started;

THE FIGHTING METHODISTS

How about that?! They only changed their name when a newspaper columnist wrote that they didn’t fight like Methodists instead they fought like ‘trojans.’ Someone up top decided a football team would better be called Trojans than a group of rowdy Christian revivalists. :)

How about the Carnegie Mellon Tartans? How much lamer can you get… named after a fabric pattern? And the mascot is a Scottie dog. Awww… you just want to pet it!

How about somthing real clever like Spartans or Eagles? Seariously, I’d rather have an original name than one that is predictable. I wanna see a school go for Shrimp or Squrrells. How about that?

And, I work a couple of blocks from TCU. The Horned Frog is the Texas state lizard, hence the mascot. A fitting homage, I think.

I went to The University of Arkansas at Monticello. There ain’t nothing more evil than a damn Boll Weevil. What the commercial for KGB doesn’t tell you is the girls teams there are called the Cotton Blossoms.

Um, I go to UNT and our mascot is the Eagles. Our team nickname is Mean Green after “Mean Joe Green” because he played football for our school, and because our school color is green. I think Cornell’s name is worse because they don’t even have a reason for it…as are some of these other names.

How can this list exist without acknowledging the U.C. Santa Cruz Banana Slugs. Just what you want a sports team to remind you of- SLUGS.

Or how about the Professors? I forget which university chose that limp name.
