My DH is the SID at Concordia University, so I asked him. He said that now, they're all the Cougars, but they used to be the Cougars and the Kittens.
FSUZeta, they do have troubles with some of the sports, such as basketball, soccer, and lacrosse. They have both men & women's teams for each

MIT's athletes are officially known as the Engineers. However, the school's mascot is the beaver - nature's engineer. This means that, sometimes, the athletes are referred to as the Beavers ... Yes, female athletes too.

I know that, but my point is cutesy names are not needed. For instance " The FSU women's cross country team won the ACC championship today" is an easy way to distinguish the men's and women's teams.

I'm with FSUZeta. You want to call the women's leam the Lady Vols? That's fine as long as the men's is Gentlemen Vols. Otherwise, why should the women's team be designated as such and the men's not?
I'm okay with some of the situations stufield listed and think they are fun when they are words that already designated male and female, but things like "Texans" and "TexAnns" make me cringe...

I proposed "Vols with Balls" for the men's teams at University of Tennessee - my friends who went there were not amused.
