kicker Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 dude, does anyone even know what a wildcat is? i'm a diehard kirbyville student and/or fan and i have no clue what it is. I believe it is an Ocelot or a Lynx. i.e. A very, very nasty house cat sized animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam14 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I remember passing through an Arkansas town that was the "Curly Wolves". Can't remember the town and have never heard a definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyWonka Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Here ya go Coop.How the Banana Slug became UCSC's official mascotThe Banana Slug, a bright yellow, slimy, shell-less mollusk found in the campus's redwood forest, was the unofficial mascot for UC Santa Cruz's coed teams since the university's early years. The students' adoption of such a lowly creature for a team mascot was their reaction to the fierce athletic competition fostered at most American universities. UCSC has always offered a wide-ranging physical education and recreation program designed to appeal to the greatest number of students, but it has based its approach on some unusual ideas: that athletics are for all students, not just team members of major sports; that the most important goal of a collegiate physical education department should be to introduce as many students as possible to lifelong physical activities; and that the joy of participating is more important than winning.In 1980, when some campus teams wanted more organized yet still low-keyed participation in extramural competition, UCSC joined Division III of the NCAA in five sports. Since the application required an official team name, UCSC's then chancellor polled the student players, and out of this small group emerged a consensus for a new moniker--the sea lions. It was a choice that the chancellor considered more dignified and suitable to serious play than the Banana Slugs. But the new name did not find favor with the majority of students, who continued to root for the Slugs even after a sea lion was painted in the middle of the basketball floor.After five years of dealing with the two-mascot problem, an overwhelming proslug straw vote by students in 1986 convinced the chancellor to make the lowly but beloved Banana Slug UCSC's official mascot. By the time the chancellor had left office, he was won over to the proslug camp, even to the point of featuring the Slug on his personal Christmas card.In May 2004, Reader's Digest named the Banana Slug the best college mascot. The Banana Slug even figured in a court case involving campus mascots. Judge Terence Evans, writing the opinion for the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, stated the following: "We give the best college nickname nod to the University of California-Santa Cruz. Imagine the fear in the hearts of opponents who travel there to face the imaginatively named 'Banana Slugs'?" (Crue et al. v. Aiken, June 1, 2004)Recently, our Sammy the Slug mascot has been appearing around campus at sports events and other functions. And, when the men's tennis team played in the NCAA championships, their T-shirts read: "Banana Slugs-No Known Predators."UC Santa Cruz Foundation trustee Anne Neufeld Levin wrote a children's book, Sally Slug, illustrated by UCSC alumna and former Foundation trustee Patricia Rebele. The book, published in 2002, is available at slugstore.ucsc.edu. Proceeds from sales of the book benefit the UCSC Foundation and provide for art history purchases and exhibits in the library.JL 3/06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campee Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 i have been to Itasca it is a very small town that has a 1A school...Surprisingly their stadium is larger than most 2a schools in this area...they are the WAMPUS CATS if you have never heard a wampus cat it is because there are none. i was told the story of how they were named...apparently in the early years they were unnamed and had no idea what to be called until one night they kicked this other teams tail all over the field...an old lady was talking with everyone about the victory and told them " wel acted like a buncha wampus cats out there tonight" and the name stuck ever since...if you think some of these are weird up near new braunfels there is a team whose mascot is the unicorns...yes the unicorns its where Lance Berkman went to high schoolHook'em Unicorns!!!

RHawk68 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Oh Yeah! How could I have forgotten this one? i own their shirt!There's an intramural basketball team at the University of Northern Colorado that calls themselves "The Fightin' Whites" and even has a logo design of a guy in a business suit with the slogan "Every thang's Gonna Be All White!" It's a social critique on all the schools around the nation using Native Americans as a mascot. It's great! Plus, the proceeds from their internet sales go to benefit a scholarship set up for Native American students going to that college.
