Here are a few to pounder where the fuck they came up with the nickname:
University of Southern Arkansas Mullriders
University of Arkansas Monticello Fighting Bollweavles
UC Irving Anteaters
UC Santa Barbara Gauchos

The Hofstra Pride, which is actually worse than the Hofstra Flying Dutchmen. The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors is pretty weak. Tulane home of the Wave, irony? UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs is my favorite.

I come from Delaware and the name is The Fighting Blue Hens, which really sounds bad on the surface, but it's more of a politically correct way to say Cocks. Ala champion cockfighting chickens. Granted blue cocks, but from what I hear, them fuckers were mean.

Shit just add Delaware Fighting Blue Hens to the list. I miss the Wing T.
