I'm at a distinct disadvantage. I have degrees from five schools. None of them have sports teams, nor a nickname. Not one. I've taught at many--Bellevue Bruins, San Diego State Aztecs, and the mighty fighting Gorlocks of Webster U for example. Only one, University of Leicester, could be considered a traditional B&M, but they don't have a sports nickname. In the UK, intercollegiate sports is played on a club level. It's called "Team Leicester," and that's not easy to cheer. You can tell it's a serious effort; they have a successful Quidditch team.
I generally don't follow college sports, but my eldest is at Virginia Tech, so I know they're the Hokies.
Nosborne: Ahh, but can you actually pronounce "geoducks"? Bear: Yes. (One daughter went to ESC for a year) Among college mascots, I suggest geoduck wins four awards: 1. Most often mispronounced 2. Longest-lived. (140 years is average; 168 has been noted) 3. Most NSFW. (Evergreen's official motto, "Omnia Extares" says it all. Translates as "Let it all hang out." 4. Most expensive to buy. $10 an ounce in China where it is believed it boosts libido.
During the 9 or 10 years we were doing US marketing for Heriot-Watt University in the US, more than a few people asked about their teams and what their mascot was. After many attempts to explain why there was no mascot, we would (occasionally) reply, "The Fighting Haggises." People seemed OK with that.
Haggis Ingredients 1 sheep stomach 1 sheep liver 1 sheep heart 1 sheep tongue 1/2 pound suet, minced 3 medium onions, minced 1/2 pound dry oats, toasted 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon dried ground herbs
I guess I think of barley too but I've never eaten haggis and don't really know much about it so when the recipe (Alton Brown) said oats I just went with oats.:dunno:
Without using the Internet Cheat. Here are what I know. - Georgetown - Hoyas - Virginia Tech - Hookies - NYU - Violets? Since their color of purples everywhere...(GUESS)
