Delta State is informally known as the Fighting Okra. Hard to beat that.

Hmm. Never thought of them as cheaters, just thought they were being advantageous by getting there early or sooner. I guess your right though. Still like the nickname though.

Bayou Bengals
Sooners
And the Gamecocks for some reason. Nohomo.

Surprised no one has voted for:

Rhode Island School of Design - Scroties

I would post the picture, but I'm sure that the admins wouldn't appreciate the penis costume.

quote:

Without a doubt, one of the strangest college sports mascots has to be Scrotie, the unofficial mascot of the Rhode Island School of Design. The costume is unique and at the same time horrific, looking exactly like a giant penis wearing a red cape with the scrotum hanging beneath.

The school's basketball team is known as the Balls, and their slogan is, "When the heat is on, the Balls stick together." The hockey team is called the Nads, and their cheer is "Go Nads!" Scrotie was created to cheer on the Nads in 2001. Despite his status as an unofficial mascot, he's present at all the games and widely accepted by the student body.

anything with an Indian, Fighting Sioux, and of course the NCAA would mess this up

Gentlemen (Gents)

I was reading through this thread wondering if someone would mention Centenary.

I've always been partial to the Golden Gophers.

I can't believe they changed their name from the "Redmen" to the "Red Storm". Just like Hofstra changed from "The Flying Dutchmen" to the "Pride".

I should know this, because my sister went there...What does Centenary do with their women's athletics? What are they called? the trannies?
