Funny School Names

This has been done before, it seems like new ones even from Div 2 and 3 keep popping up.

MIT Engineer Football. Those mighty Engineers are taking on the Cougers. Sounds like a slaughter.

Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys. Speechless.

If you go to the HS level, all heII breaks loose. These are all real:

The Chattinooga Central Purple Pounders. (Pink would've been even better)

The Yuba City Honkers

The New Berlin Pretzels

The Hoopeston Cornjerkers

The Frankton Hot Dogs

The Watersmeet Nimrods

The Kaekaena Galloping Ghosts

The Austoria Fighting Fishermen

The Williamsport Millionaires

The Camas Papermakers

The Poca Dots (Poca is the town)

The Blooming Prairie Awesome Blossoms

The Avon "Old Farms Winged Beavers"

The Chinook Sugar Beeters

The Fisher Bunnies

The Centralia Orphans

The Arkansas School for the Deaf......The Deaf Leopards

Providence Christian College Sea Beggars of Pasadena, California. Sea Beggars is the old English term for Dutch pirates. Arrrgh!

Hah, beeters were a high school rival of mine (Montana Hi-Line). Their logo is a sugarbeet on top of hand-cranked beaters.

My HS is in a small isolated desert town just north of LA, Ridgecrest, CA, and we were the Burroughs Burros!! WooWhoo!!!! Sherman E. Burroughs HS Burros. 1,600 students. Those mean donks! But I'm not the only one that has to get ribbed for that. OK,

Notable Alumni That Have to Live with It:

Mark Hoppus (Blink 182)

Nick Brophy (Riverdogs Band w/Vivian Campbell, and big studio guy now)

Rebekka Armstrong (Playboy Miss Sept. 1986)

A founding member of the old band Poco that came from Buffalo Springfield. I can't remember his name.

MWC Connected

Karsten Sween QB Wyoming

Demario Brown All Time Leading Rusher for Utah St. In the late 90's

Then a handful of average NFL and MLB players, a chick I knew that threw the Discuss in the LA Olympics, and another track runner.

Poco was a great band of the So Cal country rock genre, similar to the Eagles. SNL star Phil Hartman (RIP) did the album art below.
