I didn't go to any of these, but my favorites are...
University of Oregon "Ducks," (not to be confused with the Mighty Ducks) University of Delaware "Fighting Blue Hens," and (although not a college) The Ft. Collins (Colorado) High School "Lambkins."
Then, of course, there's the Stanford Cardinal -- with no "s" on the end.
And, finally (maybe...I keep thinking of more) The Ohio State University "Buckeyes." Before anyone asks, the Buckeye is a tasteless, sentless nut with no known value that grows on trees. (I don't think it's even eatable) It's kinda round and dark brown with a round white spot. Of course the name came from the fact that Ohio is "The Buckeye State." Go figure. I've gotta admit that their mascot "Brutus the Buckeye" is pretty scary. (Trying hard not to giggle)
Oh, I forgot about the Kent State University "Golden Flashers." Oooops, it's actually "The Golden Flashes." Sorry.

PS The University of Colorado teams are known as the "Golden Buffalos." (They're nicknamed the "Buffs," but I ain't gonna go there) Funny, they always look brown to me -- but you don't want stand in front of that sucker when she (yes, Ralphie III, the real live mascot, is a she) runs around the field at the beginning of each half. The human mascot (who wears this buffalo costume is called "Chip." Get it? Buffalo Chip?
Enough.
