something fun...for a change.

I'll start:

1. Name that one CFB P5 team that has never had players' names on the back of their jerseys.

2. Name all the teams whose mascot name does not end in "s"

1. I think is fighting Orenthals of Southern California. I thought PSU didn't do it but O'Brien changed that or something. I seem to recall them not having in the ancient past, though.

2. Standford Cardinal, my Alabama Crimson Tide, The Illinois Crying Illini. I'm sure there are others.

Sure your a Hawkeye fan? Maybe I'm misreading the question but I think they're going mascot names and not team names.
 


NWO Wolfpack of NC State. I don't even know what our fierce conference foe Rutgers has as their name. Are they in the list?

On second thought I think your right. I was immediately thinking Mascot like "Herkey" but then realized that probably 95% wouldn't have an "s" at the end.

Yeah, and some schools don't have a mascot or they had to get a new one that no one can name. Like Illinois got rid of Chief Illinwek over a decade and they still don't have a mascot. And when I hear Ol' Miss, I think Colonel Reb, but I'm pretty sure the PC Police murdered him years ago and I couldn't name the new one.

No doubt. Can't believe its been a decade since Chief Illinwek got the PC axe. I wish there was an ongoing collection of names, logos, ideology that have succumbed to an untimely death and have been replaced by something "less offensive" or PC. I'll never forget the look on my oldest kids face (5th grade now) when I said something about sitting "Indian Style" and he gave me this look of WTF are you talking about. I was then informed by my wife that that phrase was no longer deemed appropriate and replaced with "criss cross apple sauce" whatever the F@!$ that means.

And the list goes on and on... I'll lose my shit if they get their way and rename the Blackhawks.

They want to get rid of the Indian Head logo, if not necessarily the nickname.

The Waterloo Blackhawks of the USHL have a cool logo featuring a bird that could be a nice alternative.

I find much of it rather inane. At what point do they come after the Dubuque Fighting Saints?
Holy Cross Crusaders?
Providence Friars?
Minnesota Vikings?
San Diego Padres?

In classic sports fashion they got Tampa Bay to shorten their name to Rays, but allowed the Dukies to keep Blue Devils.

Navy ain't P5. I got all the P5 except for the Catholic school that disparages the heritage of Irish Americans because I refuse to recognize their hostile and abusive name and mascot.
