Tatum_DirtyBird Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hippos almost got the best of the Eagles that day. Unless your Hippos were throwing horse-shoes against the Eagles, then close don't count. Heck of a football game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmeagain Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I was, and still am proud to be a White Oak Roughneck (Lady Neck). Since WO is located in the middle of the East Texas oil field, it is a very appropriate mascot name. Plus I had many relatives, including my dad, who roughnecked in the oil field and also knew that this was a job only for "real men." And now the the WO Lady Necks are STATE 2A Volleyball CHAMPS and I thouroughy enjoyed watching that match in person. :clap: :happy65: :clap: Having said that...I am glad to have not been a Lady Hippo, Lady Heifer, or Lady Dog!!!! As a female it just doesn't sit well with me. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace23 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 What do you want to call them, Fillies. That's kind like the Lady Brahmas; they dont't want to be called the Brahma Heifers. I agree.... and you can't put B****es on jerseys, so Lady Dogs will have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace23 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I think he told me it was like a whirlwind. Yeah their mascot looks like a little tornado. I think it is supposed to be like a dust or sand storm, hence the "Sandies". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODB71 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 When Athens began its girls basketball program in the mid 1970s, the team was called the Hornettes. It was later changed to Lady Hornets. :-) The drill team became the Stingerettes.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper82 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I love the unusual names of Texas school mascots. Can't believe that the Brazosport Exporters where not on this thread so far. The girls are the Lady Exporters Also you gotta love the the Indians and Maidens of both Jacksonville and Frankston, although the Santa Fe Indians are accompanied by the Lady Indians. A few years a coach made the suggestions for Jacksonville High School to consider changing their mascot from the Maidens to the Lady Indians. It was shot down almost instantly. So the settled on the Fightin' Maidens. Also who can forget the Brownsboro Bearettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rents2DangHigh Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 The Grays Harbor College Chokers The University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors The Butte Pirates UC Santa Barbara Banana Slugs The Beaver Beavers (Ut) FYI, U of Hawaii officially dropped the "Rainbow" from their name and left it at "Warriors," while June Jones was there. They were catching a lot of flack for the gay connection to the word rainbow and apparently it was affecting recruiting. I have the best one of all and it's a great story, IMO. In Abilene, Texas, there is McMurry University. It's a Methodist university founded by a man who missioned with the Indians of Texas most of his life. As a tribute to the people the founder loved so dearly and dedicated so much of his life to - McMurry took the name and mascot of "Indians." This happened decades and decades ago. Spin the clock forward and a lawsuit is brought against the school because someone is offended by the name "Indians." Courts make the school drop the mascot and name it featured for so long. So what did they do when told they had to change their name? Nothing. They are now known as just "McMurry." There is no mascot, no name. Their jerseys just say "McMurry." That was a a fantastic move on McMurry's part, IMO. Grant Teaff's first coaching job was at McMurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyClydePuckett Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I love the schools that have unique nicknames. I would a dang sight rather be a Fighting Sand Crab, a Blizzard, a Yellow Hammer, BlueCat, etc.... A Unicorn or Steer is ten times better than just another Lion or Tiger or Bear. How boring.

TheRedBaron Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 There is a consolidated team in Iowa called the Gladbrook/Reindbeck Rebels... yeah, think about that a minute... I have seen two different descriptions for a Wampus Cat, actually. One would be a six-legged big cat. the other would be a half mountain lion and half alligator concoction that I saw stuffed at a bait store outside camp Cherokee when I was a kid. When I was a kid, my dad and grandpa used to scare the #### out of me with the gater/puma thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
