heh, I went to a Jr college that was supposed to have the "chapparal bird " as the mascot but they shortened it to just "chapparal" so we were the fighting scrub-grass prairies.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think my favorite school team name is the team in Funky Winkerbean - the Scapegoats.

which was still better than my junior high's green and gold.
A's!
HS: Red and Black for the Spartans. (Remember them?)
College: Purple and White for the Lords. (Girls teams: The Ladies! Fear them! Actually they won a lot of national titles in swimming.)

I have to go with the traditional favorites: the Banana Slugs. My local favorite is Oglethorpe's Stormy Petrels.
I never thought the Commodores really cut it as a team name.

A long time ago, my high school team name was the Pigeons (after the Pigeon River that flows through town). It was renamed The Truckers, because Clintonville is where the four-wheel-drive truck was invented, and they still make firetrucks there.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Heh. My high school was the Commodores. Green and white. I hated that school.
College, black and gold, the Underachievers. No, wait, that isn't right...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have no memory of my high school colors. College was navy and gold, grad school was blue and gold. All the UCs are "themed" although personally I think Santa Cruz kinda cheats with the blue and orange. Now my school colors are crimson and gold.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hahahah about chapparal. That`s hilarious.
Our school colors were blue and gold in high school, and our mascot was Tornadoes. Which, you know, while I was cowered in the hallway while one passed, I was not overawed by the choice.
Our college colors were orange and black, although we had a pretty much nonexistent sports program (except for baseball players who had carte blanche at the school).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My school colors have been blue and white; green and white; red, white, and black; green and blue; buff and blue; and now blue and white again.
