Alabama Crimson Tide has to be the worst. Oh really? A dark red colored ocean wave? How quaint.
The best name : the Dawgs
The worst : all of the XFL
That Okra looks pi*sed off.
Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels
@Savage Or is that kind of like, the bovine swine breeding? LOL
College football best: Akron Zips, TCU Horned Frogs, North Texas Mean Green, Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns, Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
College football, not best: Utah Utes, Rice Owls, Liberty Flames
Macon Bacon is way cool
If you are from that area, how about the Johnson Atom Smashers? I went to school in the area and thought that was the strangest mascot ever.
the mascot is offensive to African Americans
A few offbeat/strange names to note:
Oglethorpe University (in Atlanta) Stormy Petrels
North Texas State Mean Green
Tulane Green Wave
Stanford Cardinal (not cardinals as many say/think)
Penn St. Nittany Lions (after all these years, I still don't know what a 'nittany' is)
Fun Trivia Question (at a party, at a game, in a forum!): What college sports team nicknames do NOT end in "s" and DO NOT have a color in their name? (so "Tulane Green Wave" doesn't count).
Back in the 1980s, I remember a similar question, though there are more than 3 now. Of all the major pro sports teams (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) - what are the only 3 team mascot names that do not end in "s"?
I'll give the answers later, if no one else posts them.
Red Sox
White Sox
Jazz
Heat
Avalanche
Magic
Thunder
Lightning
Wild
Flash
Fighting Irish
Cardinal
Fighting Illini
Midshipmen
Thundering herd
Stormy Petrels is a great name, as @TNDawg71 noted, and I had the Mean Green on my own list.
As for Stanford, their mascot was the Cardinals before they changed it to Cardinal. And it was the Indians before that.
NC State Wolfpack is another !
Penn State University lies at the foot of Mount Nittany in Centre County, PA.
Yuma Arizona Criminals is pretty bad. But al least they are honest and didn't use Vols.
That's what I'm told. Along with many other things on an ever growing list apparently.
