School Mascots
My kids' school mascot is the ferocious Panda, Clodfobble's the fearsome Geckos, Wolf used to be a Trojan :lol: and Shawnee has been a Polar Bear
What about you? (discussion so far: Quote:

My HS mascot was the Whippets. Not NO2 hits from whipped cream canisters, the dogs. Small, skinny, shivery little dogs...
|
Baby Tigers (grade school)
Little Tigers (high school) Spartans (college) Tigers (grad school) |
Hmm, I don't remember any grad school mascot. It was St Patricks so it was probably a drunk leprachaun or something.

HS- Tigers. And we played a school whose mascott was The Hens, Henrietta Hens, from Henretta, Oklahoma. Troy Aikman played ball there.

Oh, my high school mascot was especially retarded: it was Mr. Maroo, a personification of the school's colors (maroon and white,) because it was the sixties and I guess they'd already used all their brain cells that day just choosing the colors.

Mr Maroo. That is awesome.
My brother's college, Earlham, were The Fighting Quakers, the Hustlin' Quakers, and now just Quakers. Quakers fighting...get it? |
UPenn has the fighting quakers -- I told badger that my tigers could take his quakers any day...
|
Mr. Maroo looks like the little furball guy we would get if we sold 5 magazine subscriptions in the 3rd grade fundraiser.
|
Unicorns
|
Mr Maroo has no arms or hands.
Was it a very... special school, Clod? |
My kids' schools are the Faller Suns(for Theodore Faller, a navy pilot who stayed with his jet rather than eject so that he could steer it away from the school, and died before they could get him out of the burning plane), and the Monroe Tigers. The high school here is Sherman Burroughs High school, and the mascot is the Mighty Burros, which seems odd, becasue I never thought of a burro as mighty.

Ohhh, I just remembered that the elementary school I went to before we moved back to my 'rents home town in first grade was the Boone Station Bucking Broncos. It was in Ohio, though, not Kentucky.

JHS - Mules
HS - Vikings College - Lumberjokes er, I mean Lumberjacks 'and we're OK; we sleep all night and work all day...' now -- Jayhawks! |
Elementary - Pelicans
Middle school - Cougars High school #1 - Wildcats High school #2 - Lightning College - Bulls I'm now teaching at a school who have the Fighting Hawks for their mascot. I was in the first graduating class from Cypress Bay (high school #2) and it drove me crazy that my peers chose Lightning for our team name/ "mascot." You can't have somebody dressed up as a lightning bolt! I tried to convince administration that we should get someone to dress up as Zeus and walk around with lightning bolts in his hands but no one ever listened to me. |
HS was the Mustangs
College was the Pioneers |

I don't know if Brits have been exposed to old Bugs Bunny cartoons, but it was a common catchphrase back then to dismiss idiots with the expression, "What a bunch of maroons." |
Elementary school: bisons
Middle school: mustangs High school: stallions But I grew up with Brutus Buckeye, who appears to be closely related to Mr. Maroo! :D |

the elementary schools are a bit lame, in general, aren't they?
|
My brother's elementary school mascot was an Otter. Cute, but by no means intimidating.
I think the winner for lame mascot might go to Key West High School -- "Home of the Conchs!" Really? A giant sea snail? |
lmao...watch out...here comes the giant shell.
But, it's just sitting there. |

I remember riding a bus through WV and seeing a sign that same "Welcome to Poca, home of the Poca Dots!" - just checked, and yes, they are still there!

I will now reveal my shame. I was once a... meteor? wtf?

Found this old cheer (circa 1979) from the Fighting Quakers cheerleaders:
Fight exuberantly! Fight exuberantly! Compel them to relinquish the ball! |
duck!
|
In college I was a "golden flash". wtf.
football cheer: menopause menopause get hot flashes! |

It's funny how people want to give you crap for something completely out of your control and a name you did not assign.

Arizona Wildcats. Sometimes seen wearing a mortarboard.

I would have thought your mascot was "God"
:) |
But I didn't go to seminary!:3_eyes: :3eye:

Touche! :)

We were the Lambkins. While in high school, our mascot actually showed up on Letterman's list of top ten wimpiest mascots. That was a high point.

Elementary thru HS I was a panther. Our rival school was the Farmers, the Farmersville Fightin' Farmers. My college's mascot is a cougar. |
Walking across the huge open field in the center of all the dorms, in the middle of the night, I discovered that our college mascot was a scary pirate with a giant head. A "Marauder". Almost had to use my rape whistle...
