[Zomby Woof]

The Wildcats.

[bigwillq]

1. Owls (nt)

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. hey!!!

:hug: :loveya: How are you today?

[bigwillq]

7. I am ok.

I have a headache! :hungover:
A few too many shots. On a Monday night no less! I am a lush! :beer:

At least I don't have work until later. I need to eat some lunch soon.

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

9. Who?

;-)

[bigwillq]

10. LOL!

:P

[malta blue]

2. The Redmen. n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Monarch.

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

5. That was the mascot of the first college I attended

Then I relocated to the west coast, and finished elsewhere.

:hi: :donut: Did you ever get to sleep?

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. At 1:30.

And somehow I managed to get MrG up at 4:30 for work. I then promptly went back to bed and got up for reals at about 10:30. Ahhhh Summer. :hug:

[Breeze54]

6. I have no clue...

:shrug:

I don't think we had one. :-(

[southpaw]

8. Undergrad and Grad

Undergraduate: Jacksonville State University Gamecocks ("Nobody licks our 'Cocks" :eyes: )

Graduate: Auburn University Tigers ("War Eagle" :wtf: )

[ceile]

12. A Hilltopper

Apparently it's some kind of goat.....:shrug:

[Zomby Woof]

13. See ProfessorGAC's post in my high school thread

His high school had the same mascot name, but only the school's light tower was used as the symbol. Never heard of that name, for a goat or otherwise. Interesting!

[ceile]

18. Huh.

That makes more sense than a goat, I guess.

[Zomby Woof]

19. Well, there are mountain goats

So either way makes sense. :hi:

[Mutley]

14. The Tigers.

Again. No imagination. I need to pick my schools better. :D

[Zomby Woof]

17. I like animal mascots

Sure, they are done to death, but they are bound to never cause controversy (like Indian mascots) or embarrass you. :P Although I do have to say I am glad I didn't go to UC-Santa Barbara, home of the Banana Slugs! :spray:

Maybe you would prefer the "Pukin' Pembrokes"? :D

[trackfan]

15. Bruins

[xmas74]

16. Vikings.

[Chan790]

20. Mascots

Undergraduate - Catholic University of America Cardinals. (They can't make up their mind between the bird and the guys in the scarlet beanies and keep switching.)

Graduate - University of Chicago Maroons (I don't know that this counts though, it was only a distance-learning professional certificate.)

Hopeful Future Graduate School - New York University Violets. (I want to get my Masters in the new Fundraising Development program but so do about 6,000 other people for less than 20 openings.)

[northzax]

21. the White Mule

for Undergrad,

grad: Blue Jays.

[Xithras]

22. The California Golden Bear

[Arugula Latte]

57. Go Bears!

:toast:

[Lumily]

23. The Fighting Christians of Elon College.

It's a Christian college founded by the United Church of Christ in 1889. They changed the mascot (in 2000, I think), because, hey, not everybody is a Christian.

Now it's Elon University, and their mascot is a Phoenix.

[Critters2]

38. The Fighting Christians

How sad is that? I'm glad they changed it, not because not everyone is a Christian, but because Christians shouldn't be fighting.

I'm UCC, btw.

[seemunkee]

24. A turtle

Now they've beefed him up to look powerful, but its still a turtle.

[jobycom]

25. A bulldog, another bulldog, then none, then a Longhorn.

Been to too many freakin' colleges.

[Momgonepostal]

26. The Cougars

[flamingyouth]

27. Huskies.

:)

[Zomby Woof]

28. I bet I know where you went to school!

As you would likely know mine. :D

[flamingyouth]

29. Indeed!

Well, I'll give you a hint - I didn't go to UConn! ;)

[Zomby Woof]

30. I attended your school for two summer sessions

It was to get my 4-12 English endorsement a few years after graduating CWU. I loved it! Great professors, and a beautiful campus. I remember in '97, walking across Red Square when a 5.0 quake hit, lol. You could say going to shcool there made the earth move for me. ;-)

[flamingyouth]

32. LOL

I do have fond memories of the place. Now I just get stuck in traffic on Montlake Blvd. a lot. :D

Central is a neat campus. At times I wish I'd gone to a smaller school. :)

[Zomby Woof]

33. I had great fun in Ellensburg

I did enjoy the smaller classes and ease of access around town and the campus. I never needed my car until I went home for breaks. Or the occasional run to Village Pizza in Roslyn. And could the weather change! In October of one year, it was 90 the first of the month, and on Halloween, it snowed!

[Broken_Hero]

31. Fighting Indians....:) nt

[femmocrat]

34. The Colonials. n/t

[SteppingRazor]

35. Tigers...

MIzzou-RAH!

[Critters2]

36. Redbirds

which are the same as cardinals, but for some reason, at Illinois State they're redbirds.

[Katina]

37. The Dolphins

and I never really understood why. The rationale was stupid.

[Mz Pip]

39. Go Bears!

UC Berkeley's Golden Bears. :-)

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Blue_In_AK]

40. Cougars.

University of Houston.

[Trigger Hippie]

41. The Ragin' Cajuns

Mais, yeah, cher. :)

[RedCloud]

42. A Tiger, then a Gator

Yes for a while I was a master Gator. :blush:

[cobalt1999]

43. Alright! Another Gator.

Gainesville is a great college town.

[RedCloud]

44. And Lake Alice a great place to stage a repug picnic!

Seems the reptiles there like picnics.

[anarch]

45. I think it was some kind of lizard

or maybe a dog or something. I dunno, I was pretty stoned all the time back then.

[AngryAmish]

46. U of Illinois does not have a mascot

[5thGenDemocrat]

47. We didn't have a "mascot"

I went to Central Michigan University, home of the Chippewas -- a name we wear proudly and will NEVER give up due to the latest spasms of political correctness. The NCAA has yanked our chain a couple or three times about it and always back right the eff off when they are informed that (a) the Saginaw Chippewas (of Jack Abramoff fame) have given us their blessings to use the name so long as (b) we don't dress some white kid up in greasepaint and fake native American regalia. Hence, no mascot.
The tribe also gives the university millions of dollars from the proceeds of their casino at Mount Pleasant. So it's cool all the way around.

Chip-POOOOOO-Wah!!! Fire Up Chips!!!

[ProfessorGAC]

48. Which One?

Undergrad was The Flyers. There was an airport there, and a flight school, and aviation engineering school, too.

The first grad school i went to had no athletic department at all, so no mascot. (I guess the mascot was a textbook or something.)

I also went to DePaul grad school for mathematics, so that's Blue Demons.

Then i went to Kellogg for an MBA with a focus in economics. So, that's Wildcats.

Take your pick!
The Professor

[leftofthedial]

49. In my dorm, we

kept this little kid from New Jersey on a leash.

[Reverend_Smitty]

50. The Profs

Yep an Owl in a sweater...a professorial owl...or as I liked to call him the Wise Potato Chip Owl

[NewWaveChick1981]

51. The team was the Tarheels, and the mascot was a ram.

A ram named Ramses. :rofl: :hi:

[huskerlaw]

52. Cornhuskers.

[SteppingRazor]

53. EEEWWW!! Gross!

Ah well, at least you're not a Jayhawk.

[huskerlaw]

55. Ew? Gross?

Says the person from Florida... :puke:

But yes, at least I'm not from Kansas...

[SteppingRazor]

56. I went to college at Missouri...

I was just raggin' on a Big 12 rival :)

[huskerlaw]

58. AAAACK!

That's even worse!!

Damn the Tigers. Damn them to hell.

(ok, ok, I got a master's degree at Mizzou...)

[Scurrilous]

54. Gators!
