Strange school and team mascots!

no! but that sounds wierd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am listening in San Jose, CA but am from New Orleans where the Zephyrs Triple A baseball team has a nutria (giant rat with orange teeth) named Boudreaux and his wife Clotille as their mascots.

I graduated from Sallie Phillips Durrett High School in Louisville, Ky in 1975.  We were the "DURRETT DEMONS".  I was blessed to become a Christian the summer BEFORE my Freshman year.

I worked at a grade school and their mascot was a gnat!!!

I graduated from Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ, the home of the Profs. Unique enough? The school started out as a teachers college in 1923 and Prof being short for Professor brings a historical edge to the nickname. Our mascot is a wise old owl named "Whoo R U" after the popular song by The Who.

Ever heard of the Fighting Okra? Only in MS. That's Delta State university's mascot. Pretty crazy! But they are pretty good in most sports.

I worked at a grade school and their mascot was gnat!!

I go to Ida Mddle School and we are the "Ida BlueStreaks".  We aren't an animal either and its hard to walk out on a field without legs.  I don't even think we have like a costume for it.  Half the time the peole who make shirts or something like that the "bluestreak" is yellow.  CRAZY   Love the station... thought I'd put some input towards the mascot!!!  Thanks a lot!!!

Austin High School in Austin, TX has a very peculiar mascot. They are the Austin Maroons, and the mascot that comes out to football games is a big puffy maroon ball. That's an odd mascot if I've seen one.  

Delta state university in Mississippi are the "fighting ocra". They even have tshirts with an ocra (yes the vegetable) that has a face legs and raised fists ready to fight! Lol

My highschool mascot was the minuteman. We were the Sand Springs Sandites in Sand Springs, OK. Google it! Wikipedia will give you the definition of sandite but also notes that it is our mascot.  

Our high school has a one of the kind mascot! I live in Hutto Texas, pronounced HUT-O Our mascout is a Hippo! Yes that is right home of the Hutto Hippos! My daughter is on the drill team, no they are not called the dancing hippos (even though I think that would be cute) They are the Hi Steppers. My son played for the football team in middle school. so I have 2 proud hippos in my home. Every business in our town has a hippo in front of it (even the fire department has a dalmation hippo) Gotta love them Hippos!

Wichita State University has the WUShock. A shuck of wheat!!!

Not sure why they are so wierd but here is a quick little article about it.

My middle school's mascot was a Sun. We were known as the Goldenview Suns. Not in the least bit intimidating, but all the other good mascots had been taken.....

My school is Sterling Newman Central Catholic HS and we are the comets.

comets because they lite up the sky and we do the same with the light of Christ

Sterling IL

There's a high school in Hamlin, TX and their mascot is the "Pied Pipers"  Yes, that makes them the Pied Pipers of Hamlin!

Right up the road from us is Frankfort(Indiana) High School...home of the Hot Dogs!

My college mascot was the Thresher - a stone used to grind wheat. I loved the school and respected the mascot that was a symbol of our Mennonite heritage, but having a rock as a mascot was certainly an easy target for other schools to make fun of!

I go to Washburn University in Topeka Kansas. And our mascot is an Ichabod. It's pretty much a little man that wears a top hat and looks like the planters peanut man.

I was born and raised in Chickasha, Oklahoma.  Our local mascot is the Fightin' Chick!  We were made fun of a lot...."let's fry the chicks!"  The mascot most of my years in school was a big yellow chicken with purple satin boxing trunks and purple boxing gloves.  For a few years they tried the "Booster Rooster" which was a big brown rooster.  I think now most of the representations of the school are just a giant letter C, but they are still called the Chicks!

I graduated from a HS in Paducah, KY and we were called the Lone Oak Purple Flash.  We didn't really have a "mascot" but our year books had a picture of an Oak tree with a lightening flash through it.  Figure that one out???  

UC Santa Cruz's mascot is the Banana Slug!!

I had a friend from Columbia, Missouri. He was always embarrassed because their mascot is the Cupie Doll.

how about the  Evergreen University Geoducks
pronounce gooey duck.  A really strange creature - even stranger looking!

My Community College (which did not even have any sports teams) had a huge artichoke sculpture in the courtyard as our mascot!!!

I had a friend who lived in Poca, West Virginia.  She went to Poca High home of the Dots.  THier mascot was a giant Poca-Dot.  I guess it made uniforms easy...........

Here in Indiana we have a school whose mascot is a hotdog!  They are the Frankfort hotdogs!  Hahaha

There is a Hockey team in Odessa, Texas with the best mascot ever!!!   The team is the Odessa Jack-a-lopes!!   If the jerseys weren't so expensive I'd have one!!

I attend Washburn University in TOpeka KS. Our mascot is the Ichabod!! Is serouisly the strangest thing ever!

Hornets our elementary school has one in the gym that looks like a baby
the middle has a tougfer looking one
and the high looks evil

We have a ECHL hockey team here in Toledo, OH named "Walleye" of all things!  Their link is:  http://www.toledowalleye.com/

the mascot for Indiana univ is a Hoosier....the problem is no one knows what a Hoosier is...even the state government has no  definition for a hoosier.

I live in Beatrice NE and the team name is "Orangemen" the mascot is Sir. William Orange. Believe it or not it's a historical person who was like a catholic killer!!! So the mascot is this black knight on a black horse with an Orange cloth under the saddle

I was listening and you reported that Stanford University had a cardinal bird and/or tree for a mascot.  In actuality, Stanford has no mascot; rather the Tree (a symbol of El Palo Alto, a Redwood Tree in Palo Alto) is part of the Stanford University Band.  The Cardinal refers to the color cardinal (red) and not a bird.  So, no mascot, colors of cardinal and white.  Just thought you might like to have the information correct.  God Bless.

I have one that I think will put all others to shame.  I am from Mansfield, Ohio and the Mansfield Campus of Ohio State University started competing in collegiate sports about 3 or 4 years ago but the question was what would our mascot be.  They held a vote for school mascot and the name that won was Twigs.  The administration did not like that so they went with the runner up which was the Mavericks.  But those of us that were there at the time still root for the Mansfield Fighting Twigs.

Kellie Pickler came and visited my high schoool (we won a contest so she came and sang for us). well she told us about the high school that she went to. Their mascot was a "lightbulb". She said they even had a cheer and everything to go along with it.

I attended grammer school at Pacific Union Elementary in Fresno, CA. Intitials are P.U. our school mascot was a skunk!!!

The best mascot ever is for a hockey team in Odessa, Texas, the "Odessa Jackalopes!!"   If the jersey wasn't so expensive, I would have one!!!   (http://jacksfangear.com/)

I go to a New England Prep High, the Loomis Chaffee School, and we play two other New England Private schools with crazy mascots.  Miss Porter's "Fighting Daisies" and Deerfield "Green Doors."

I just moved from San Antonio and Fredericksburg, Tx has the Fredericksburg Unicorns.  I feel bad for them, espeically the guys!

My little sisters mascot is a wildcat.  hahaha

I work at Williams College in Western Massachusetts and their mascot is a Purple Cow! I have no idea why!!!

I tease my husband often because his high school was called the Blue Streaks.  I've asked him over and over again what a Blue Streak is and he says that it's a lightening bolt, but I think that's stretching it just a little bit.

LOVE your radio station!

I graduated from a HS in Paducah, KY and we were known as the Lone Oak Purple Flash.  We didn't really have a "mascot" but our yearbooks had a picture of an Oak Tree with a lightening flash through it.  Figure that one out??

I live in Hampshire IL and our mascot is the Whip-purrs. They wanted white and purple as their colors, so they used Whi-pur from White and Purple and came up with Whip-purr.It is a white and purple leopard.

Blooming Prairie, MN - High school mascot (All teams) - "Awesome Blossoms"  

Imagine a football team with a mascot that looks like a flower.

I live in Mississippi and we have a college named Delta State. The Delta State mascot is the Fighting Okra!

Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi has two mascots--official one is the Statesmen but the unofficial and one the students love is the "Fighting Okra." Legend says that a stubborn okra plant kept growing up on the baseball field, thus the fighting okra. My son was a cheerleader there several years ago and had a great time being an "Okra!"  Love you all at Klove you are the only station I listen to down here in South Mississippi!

Near my hometown in Illinois was a little city by the name of Fischer (pronounced like fisher) and their mascot was the Fischer Bunnies...no joke. It was one fierce looking bunny and they always kicked our tails at sports.

kerville, texas is the antlers!  (not even a whole animal)

new braunfels, texas is the unicorns!  

I grew up in North Little Rock, Arkansas.  Up until the late 90s there were two high schools: Northeast Chargers (white horse or lightning bolt)and Ole Main Wildcats.  In the late 90s they decided to make one campus for 9th and 10th graders and the other for 11th and 12th graders.  Instead of coming up with a whole new mascot they just mixed them.  Now they are the Charging Wildcats.

I grew up in Santa Cruz, CA and the University of California, Santa Cruz, UCSC, Mascot is the Banana Slugs!  Yep, ooy gooy slimie big yellow banana slugs!  Gotta love it!  Anything goes in Santa Cruz

"The Dots" is in the town of Poca, WV  named after Pocahontas the indian>  It won the 2002 ESPN Best Mascot name.  The mascot is a big red dot

There is/was a school in EVa that the town's name is/was Poca and the mascot is/was "dots" so they are the Poca Dots!

That is West Virginia you'll find the Poca dots, not EVa

I went to school in Norwalk Conn. our mascot was a senator,, the school was named after Senator Brien McMahon,, so the mascot looked like uncle sam.

I live in Polo, IL and we are the home of the Polo Marcos.  Our mascot is Marco Polo (the explorer).  He looks like Genghis Khan. lol A team rival is the Freeport Pretzels.  They could raise you blood pressure... lol

I am originally from Carlsbad, New Mexico. Because of Carlsbad Caverns, the high school mascot is the Caveman. We get very insulted by the GEICO commercials, "so easy a Caveman can do it."

And here in Albuquerque our professional baseball team is, unfortunately, the Isotopes. Don't like having a mascot based on an episode of The Simpsons.

The Freeport Pretzels in Illinois

I live in Modesto, CA where we have a single A professional baseball team called the Modesto Nuts (Colorado Rockies affiliate) with macots Wally the Walnut and Al the Almond.  It gives credence to the farming done in the area, but is somewhat an embarassing name.  The play on words for the media..."The Nuts Get Shelled" or "Goin Nuts for the Nuts" or "The Nuts Get Cracked", etc...

Our high school mascot in Freeport IL is a PRETZEL!! That got some and still gets a lot of questions.

In Oregon, there is a highschool that the mascot is a "Mook". Because they are from Tillamook high school. Who knows what a Mook is?

Ditto what Rori said...I'm also from the home of the "Chickasha Fightin' Chicks!"  In the mid-80's at a school board meeting some tried to get the mascot changed, but it was a no-go!  There was another HS in Oklahoma at that time that was in Henryetta, OK and they were the "Henryetta Hens"...I do think they have sinced changed their mascot.  

oh and the mascots for Univ of Oregon and Oregon State University are the Ducks (mascot is Donald Duck) and the Beavers respectively

I grew up in Western Kansas, and went to Hill City High School. Our mascot was the RINGNECKS! Yes, it's a pheasant as pheasant hunting is big there! We were once told that we were the only Ringneck mascot in the country. I bet that is correct!!!!!!

I went to high school in Carson City, Nevada.  There mascot wasn't weird but kind of odd.  They are Senators.

i live in missouri and go to an eleamentry school where the mascot is a roadrunner. pretty funny. i don't know why, but it's a good school.

I think it really depends on how the team represents themselves I live in Nebraska, we are the cornhuskers here with good old Herby Husker and Lil Red. I have a friend from Washington ask me what on earth is a cornhusker he obviously doesn't watch college football. We also have the Benson Bunnies how intimidating

I live in Wichita Kansas where the Wichita Baseball Team is called the Wichita Wingnuts. How embarassing.

Yes, The Poca Dots.  I graduated from there in 1992. Poca, WV.  I got through to Scott and Kelly on their show this afternoon to tell them a story about it.

my elementary school's mascot were the unicorns! animals that only exist in fairy tale books.

My daughter goes to college at the College For Creative Studies in Detroit, MI. Their mascot is "The Screaming Peacocks" and yes, it's a cute picture of a peacock.  The "live" mascot??  None.  Being a small Fine Arts college they have no athletic teams, however, their best and always sold out of T-shirt says "CCS Football Team - undefeated since 1906!" (the date they were established). Hilarious!!!   =P

My elementary/middle school had the mascot of the "Comets"!

One of the Highschools near where I live the mascot is a Planet.....

I am from a very small farming city (Greenville) in Ohio and our local high school's mascot is entitled "The Greenie" and he is a green tidal wave with eyes. How often do you see a "wave" for a mascot? Only Greenville

I'm from Illinois and a couple of years ago I went to the high school basketball championship.  one of the teams playing for the championship was called the "wooden shoes!" never heard of anything like the wooden shoes before!

Scottsdale Community college has the "fighting artichokes"!

I went to Rim of the World High School in Lake Arrowhead and we are technically the Scots. But our actual mascot on the side of our building is a giant picture of Mel Gibson in Braveheart. So we had Mel Gibson as our mascot, to all of our rivals Not exactly terrifying (although its an awesome movie)

My high school is the Trent Gorillas.....

Hi, I'm writing from Soux Falls, SD.  I attended high school in Kimball,SD, and the mascot  is Kiote.  Notice the spelling- not "coyote," but "Kiote".  Scott, you said your mom went to school in Mitchell.  I am very familiar with the Corn Palace!  God bless you and KLOVE's ministry.  I am blessed and encouraged everyday!  Praise the LORD!

There is a college in Iowa that is the Beauna Vist University Beavers and there is also one there that is the Upper Iowa Peacocks.  

I also wanted to mention the mascot of the college I went to: Augustana in Sioux Falls.  They have two mascots: a Viking and the Augie Doggie!

My high school mascot was a "wave"- the "Greenville GreenWave"--but the only water in Greenville, Oh is the creek and a few ponds...

One of the teams in California is called the Santa Cruz Banana Slugs haha

My High School Mascott was the Jack Rabbit. We were the Mesa High Jack Rabbits in Mesa, AZ. Our cheerleaders were called bunnies. There is a high school here in Leesville, LA and there mascott is the Wampus Cat. I don't even know what that is.

Actually, the mascot of UC Santa Cruz is not the Sea Slugs, but the Banana Slugs.  A true banana slug is about 3 inches long and produces a slime that will make your tongue go numb if you put in on there (which is a big hit in 8th grade science camp).  Our team plays UC Santa Cruz in basketball and the students bring giant salt shakers to the game, because of course if you put salt on a slug it will kill it.

An elementary school not far from me in NC has a mascot of The Musketeers named by a students a few years back.

Two of my cousins attend Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY. Their mascot is the hilltopper. I'm not really sure what a hilltopper is and I don't think they do either because their mascot uniform is just a red blob they call Big Red. I attend the rival school Eastern Kentucky University and most people I know call their mascot the blood clot!

This wasn't my high school mascot but a team we played against called the Honkers, apparently it was a duck. Lol

hi my name is Elizabeth i go to school in Durham NC and right down the road from our school, there is the NC School of Math and Science, and their mascot is The Unicorns!

I have to correct you on one thing...the University of California Santa Cruz is the Banana Slugs, not the sea slugs.

Students in Poca, WV, are known as the "Poca Dots."

I live in Northwest Mississippi.  There's a state college about an hour from here called Delta State University.  Their mascot -The Fighting Okra!!!  

The wierdest mascot I've ever heard of are the Glenburnie Gophers(who wants a gopher for their mascot??). I bet their team cheer was "Go, go gophers..." ha ha

Our High School located in Canonsburg PA is Canon-McMillan and we are called the Big Macs.  As in Scottish names beginning with Mc...not hamburgers!

I loved that school and I was in the last graduation class.

I graduated from Freeport High school in northern Illinois and our school mascot is a pretzel. They just recently converted the middle school to the pretzel sticks. Another funny thing is about 30 minutes north from our town their mascot is the cheese makers!
