Before I was lucky enough to transfer to CU, I played lacrosse for Whittier College. I can't tell you how intimidating it was for the other team when this sausage-wallet "Johnny Poet" show up at our lacrosse games with his giant pen! Interesting Buff fact, former CU Fullback (and now UFC fighter) Brendan Schaub also played lacrosse for Whittier before transferring to CU, his Sophomore year the Poets were ranked #1 in the country for a few weeks before losing in the NCAA Semi-Finals.
Yea the tree got suspended for being drunk at a basketball game. :lol:

Williams College is the Lord Geoffs or something equally dubious.

One nomination for the University of California Santa Cruz Banana Slugs.
Tell me a banana slug reads Plato. Really? Really?

Sam Houston State Bearkats deserves an honorable mention.
You are a either a bear or a cat. Pick one. Any college that spells cat with a K should loose it's accreditation.

You'd think they would update that since Plato isn't even a planet anymore.

Evansville is the Purple Aces.....also working the purple angle is Furman: Purple Paladins.
A Golden Hurricane. Which always reminded me of a golden shower, which is a really, really dumb thing to have as a mascot.

Buffalo are indigenous to Africa. We have Bison here. So you have the coolest African NCAA mascot

The New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) takes the cake for bizarre mascots:
Colby White Mules
Williams Purple Cows
Amherst Lord Jeffs
Hamilton Continentals
Tufts Jumbos
Bowdoin Polar Bears
Trinity Bantams
Connecticut College Camels
The others are fairly pedestrian: Wesleyan Cardinals, Middlebury Panthers, Bates Bobcats.
Try and figure.

Blame Georgia Tech. At the time Tulsa was looking for a nickname, someone suggested "Golden Tornadoes," but Georgia Tech already had it (this was like 1914), so TU went with "Golden Hurricane" as a substitute, as it was gold and was windy, which is what they were looking for.
No clue why they didn't take Golden Tornadoes when GT went to Yellow Jackets, but they've been the Hurricane ever since. Weird, I know.
As a graduated of SMU I am still bothered by the fact they are the mustangs, but a pony leads them onto the field.
