In fact you used to be able to buy gear with the message "You can't beat our Cocks"

OK. Here is a list. Pick you most bizarre---and there are several.

And their women's teams are called the Ladies. They are in my college's conference.

Of course the Amherst Lord Jeffs are my favorite. It was nice of them to name the mascot after me, and all.

Shockers

Look for it...

The Smurfsburg Blue Hose is a good one.

Hard to go against Banana Slugs.

And here is the Blackburn Battlin Beavers arch rival:

I learn so much from this board.

Banana Slugs (Santa Cruz) and Anteaters (Irvine). Those newer U of California campuses have picked some cute ones. I actually have a Banana Slug tee-shirt from Santa Cruz (son of friend used to go there). It has a smiling banana slug on the front; and the ass of a banana slug on the back.

Always found The Lord Jeffs to be messed up considering the fact that Lord Jeffrey Amherst engaged in a mini genocide along with biological warfare. Aside from that I desperately wanted to go to Amherst College and went to tennis camp there for a few years. Beautiful town and gorgeous campus. Unfortunately I didn't have the grades or SAT scored to get in.

Cornhuskers, Statesmen, Thoroughbreds, Camels, Jumbos, Greyhounds and Little Giants are among my favorites.

Least favorites: Tigers (three in the SEC alone), Wildcats, Hawks, Eagles.

 

[Delmar]

The Purple Cows of Williams College, my alma mater. (Traditionally, the Ephmen, but what can you do with that?)

We all owe you a thank you.

 

[No Hoyas]

the Wombats (Skidmore.s mascot before they changed it to thoroughbred)
The weirdest/stupidest: The western Kentucky Hilltopper

 

[Delmar]

And we regularly beat the Lord Jeffs.

 

[cuseattle]

From here in Washington State-The Geoducks of Evergreen! (Basically, a big clam)

 

[obliterata]

The Brooklyn Bridges
The Hawaii Hilo Vulcans

their mascot giving the dynasty sign...

 

[Cowtown]

I like the Akron Zips and the Idaho Vandals. The Mary Baldwin College Fighting Squirrels deserves a mention.

The goofiest is the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez Tarzans and Janes.

I can't think of anything. LGF!

Being the Billikens were already mentioned, I'm going to honor my avatar and personality and go with the Badgers.
