School Mascots/Nicknames, Interesting/Unique
I have no idea if this has been dicussed (probably because EVERYTHINGS been discussed) so I don't wanna hear it if it has!
But...here's the Topic(Inspired by the annoying sig thread):
Do you have an interesting school mascot/nickname, or an interesting story behind your school mascot/nickname?
Here at Western Illinois University we have Rocky the Bulldog, but our offical nickname is the Leathernecks (for the males, the females are Westerwinds). What's interesting about this is we are the only non-military school in the nation that is authorized to use the "Leatherneck" nickname.
