12. "Fighting Quakers," Earlham College

in Indiana. They dropped the "Fighting" part a number of years ago when someone pointed out the incongruity.

20. Elon College in NC used to be the "Fighting Christians"

They changed it though. I always thought that was funny.

13. Presbyterian University "Blue Hose"

I don't know about being the best name, but it's certainly unusual.

14. The Fighting Irish

If I were Irish, I would complain about its stereotypical depiction of Irish folks.

:D

[SiobhanClancy]

15. Most Irish people are blessed with a sense of humor...

which is a grand thing altogether. The simian-looking leprechaun they use might be offensive even without the name. "Murdering Italians" anyone?:)

19. I understand the cheerleaders wear poca dotted undies

YOu beat me to it. My Mom came from Milton and the used to play Poca in Basketball. The Dots won the state championship in football 3 years ago (maybe 4).

17. Big Flat Wildcats

Out of Big Flat, Arkansas (not that far from Mountain View). A close runner-up would be the Holy Souls Wabbits from Our Lady of the Holy Souls school in Little Rock. (Wabbits got chosen after some folks objected to a certain connotation of the word Trojans!)

:silly:

18. SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY

You know we're gorgeous! :evilgrin:

[Dirty Hippie]

21. The CrimiNoles

Well known for their brushes with the law, the Seminoles (FSU) should be called the Criminoles. I also suggest they allow the local sherrif's department to annex the stadium so all the boys can play.
