What's everyone favorite college nicknames? I'm trying to see if there are any out there I don't know and can add to my useless sports knowledge area of the brain.
Oglethorpe University Stormy Petrels....i think they play in the East Coast Hockey League. Last I heard they beat the Charlsetown Chiefs 3-2 in a brawl filled affair.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Gobblers. All girls school....one would hope.
Some of my favourites include (and I swear, these are all legit):
Texas Christian University (TCU) Horned Frogs
University of California Santa-Cruz Banana Slugs
Pennsylvania State University-Abington Little Johns
South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Hardrockers
Connecticut College Camels
St. Louis Billikens
Converse College All-Stars
Brooklyn College-City University of New York Bridges
Gettysburg College Bullets
Pittsburg State University Gorillas
University of Alaska-Southeast Humpback Whales
Tufts University Jumbos
Pacific Lutheran University Lutes
Has a nice ring to it, but nothing like the mystique behind theTar Heel.
Sadly, it doesn't matter what Duke or UNC are doing this year, because UConn is going to run away with the National title, unless one of Gordon, Okafor, Brown (either one) or Villanueva goes down with major injury.
