Scottsdale Community College in Arizona was wise to adopt the nickname "Fighting Artichokes." There is no grievance group representing the lacerated feelings of artichokes. Yet.

but I'm very partial to Wake Forest's Deamon Deacons.

you are a very smart person indeed. we're ready to kick some duke ass on sunday!</p>
<p>Penn Fightin' Quakers</p>
<p>Wake Forest was actually my very close second choice, after Virginia. :) I really only liked Virginia better because of the larger size.</p>
<p>Best one by far. The North Texas "MEAN GREEN"!</p>
<p>Oh man, the MEAN GREEN.</p>
<p>The Hawai'i RAINBOW WARRIORS are great too. You can't beat the Rainbow Warrior.</p>
<p>I don't know about the Syracuse "Orange". I applied there, and liked it when they were the orangemen.</p>

How can any sports team fear a turtle.

</p>
<p>You don't happen to know who Fred Funk is do you?</p>
<p>On the bottom of his mallet putter it's written "Fear the Turtle!" He's a Maryland graduate.</p>
<p>worst: Cougars....because it's used by too many schools.</p>
<p>best: Seminoles...Unique, and proud. I love their apparel as well, and the nick name 'Noles. seriously one of a kind!</p>
<p>snapping turtles are mean. they can bite real hard.</p>
<p>LOL I forget which school it is, but some school in Pennsylvania's mascot is the Fighting Quills..... haha how lame, they even have the guy dancing around in a quill costume during games and stuff.</p>
<p>Sooners, Longhorns, Wolverines, Blue Devils, Volunteers, Cavaliers, Nittany Lions, Fighting Irish and Crimson Tide are all cool. </p>
<p>Wildcats is way too common, Hokies and Buckeyes are sad (I mean, a neutered turkey and a nut for crying out loud!), Trojans and Spartans are archaic and any sports team named after a native tribe is downright wrong, unless the tribe approved it initially.</p>
<p>Doesn't stanford have a tree as their mascot?</p>
<p>For the actual name of a team, the worst would have to be the RPI "Engineers". Nothing against RPI, or engineers, but definately not a good name for a sports team.</p>
<p>The Big Green</p>
<p>Like Dartmouth's Keggy, the Stanford Tree is an "unofficial" mascot created by the pep band.</p>
<p>I love the fighting irish of ND</p>
<p>Worst mascot probably North Carolina School of the Arts - mascot is a pickle!</p>
<p>How 'bout the Tufts Jumbos
I don't find it very flattering to be named after an Elephant.</p>
<p>I think Tufts has a funny enough name, "Tufts" like tufts of hair...they hardly need to be named "Jumbos" too! Though at least the Jumbo nickname has a good story behind it.</p>
<p>Boston U terriers, arn't terriers cute, little 10lb dogs?
That seems pretty lame for a mascot.
Or theres a jr college in nebraska (hamilton college) and they're the aliens. i kinda like that one.</p>
<p>Hey now, terriers can get as big as 30 or more pounds, it depends on the breed. Boston Terriers can have really funny looking eyes, as my uncle's dog, essentially son, does.</p>
