About 'indiana wesleyan university'|My Experience at Indiana Wesleyan University: PART A








In               a               previous               article               my               hate               for               the               annual               LSU               and               Auburn               game               made               me               propose               that               the               most               common               nicknames               in               college               sports,               like               the               Tigers,               Bulldogs               and               Panthers,               should               be               banned.

Instead               colleges               should               be               forced               to               choose               some               more               unique               names.

I               decided               to               help               these               schools               that               need               new               nicknames               by               listing               some               of               the               most               unique               nicknames               in               college               sports               for               them               to               choose               from.

Below               are               the               15               most               unique               nicknames               in               college               sports.

But               before               we               get               there               let's               do               to               things.

First               let's               set               some               criteria.

All               of               the               following               nicknames               in               this               article               are               used               by               only               one               school               and               the               nickname               also               can               not               be               used               by               team               from               one               of               the               major               professional               sports               leagues.
               Before               we               get               to               the               top               fifteen,               let's               give               out               some               honorable               mentions.
               First               of               all,               let's               hand               it               to               the               schools               from               major               conferences               for               their               originality.

As               a               school               from               a               major               conference               it's               real               easy               to               settle               for               a               common               nickname               like               the               Tigers               or               Wildcats,               but               some               teams               chose               to               use               something               different.

The               Purdue               Boilermakers,               Vanderbilt               Commodores,               Nebraska               Cornhuskers,               Alabama               Crimson               Tide,               Wake               Forest               Demon               Deacons,               Minnesota               Golden               Gophers,               Iowa               Hawkeyes,               Virginia               Tech               Hokies,               Indiana               Hoosiers,               Illinois               Illini,               Kansas               Jayhawks,               Syracuse               Orange,               Florida               State               Seminoles,               North               Carolina               Tar               Heels               and               Maryland               Terrapins               are               all               original               names.
               A               common               trend               is               to               improve               a               regular               nickname               by               adding               a               color               at               the               beginning.

The               most               common               color               is               Gold,               but               Blue               is               a               close               second.

Some               of               the               most               colorful               college               nicknames               include               the               Black               Knights,               Blue               Demons,               Blue               Hens,               Blue               Streaks,               Golden               Grizzlies,               Golden               Rams               and               Golden               Seals.
               Another               popular               choice               is               to               take               a               regular               nickname               and               add               a               descriptive               word               at               the               beginning               like               the               Battlin               Beavers,               Gothic               Knights               and               Hustlin               Owls.
               Those               are               all               good               attempts,               but               these               are               the               15               most               unique               nicknames               in               college               sports:               
               15.

Banana               Slugs               (University               of               California-Santa               Cruz)               -               Unfortunately,               being               unique               is               not               always               good.

Sometimes               unique               is               bad               and               that               is               the               case               with               the               Banana               Slugs,               who               I               once               chose               as               one               of               the               worst               nicknames               in               college               sports.
               14.

Boxers               (Pacific               University)               -               Okay               maybe               the               Boxer               doesn't               seem               really               unique               but               I               like               it               because               of               its               double               meaning.

If               you               are               a               member               of               Pacific               University               then               the               Boxers               are               large               muscular               men               with               boxing               gloves               beating               the               crap               out               of               people.

If               you're               the               opponent               then               they're               all               a               bunch               of               men's               underwear.
               13.

Little               Johns               (Penn               State               University-Albington)               -               Any               time               something               reminds               me               of               Robin               Hood               it               is               going               to               get               some               major               bonus               points.
               12.

Chaparrals               (Lubbock               Christian               University)               -               A               chaparral               is               actually               just               a               type               of               shrubbery               but               it               sounds               pretty               cool.

Plus               shrubberies               always               make               me               think               of               the               Knights               who               say...Ni!
               11.

Chanticleers               (Coastal               Carolina               University)               -               Chanticleers               sounds               pretty               cool               doesn't               it?

Well,               a               chanticleer               is               just               a               rooster               but               you               have               to               give               them               credit               for               using               chanticleer               and               not               just               rooster.

Plus               a               chanticleer               is               a               rooster               in               medieval               times,               medieval               roosters               rock!
               10.

Prairie               Wolves               (Nebraska               Wesleyan               University)               -               A               wolf               is               one               of               the               most               menacing               creatures               to               name               your               team               after.

But               wolves               has               been               used,               so               has               Timber               Wolves.

So               at               least               they               gave               us               a               twist               on               the               classic               wolves               nickname.
               9.

Mastodons               (Indiana               University-Purdue               University-Fort               Wayne)               -               There               are               two               definitions               for               a               mastodon,               a               large               elephant-like               creature               and               a               human               of               enormous               size.

Either               way               you're               getting               crushed.
               8.

Grenadiers               (Indiana               University-Southeast)               -               Those               baseballs               and               footballs               of               yours,               they're               real               cute.

But               these               guys               throw               grenades.
               7.

Canoneers               (Pratt               Institute)               -               It               was               hard               to               rank               these               last               two               teams.

How               do               you               choose               between               someone               who               throws               grenades               and               somebody               who               shoots               cannons?

Well               I               like               cannons               better               so               I               chose               the               Canoneers.
               6.

Humpback               Whales               (University               of               Alaska-Southeast)               -               I               like               a               nickname               that               can               only               be               used               by               certain               people.

Like               a               college               in               New               York               City               couldn't               really               be               the               Cornhuskers,               but               for               Nebraska               it               makes               sense.

The               same               thing               is               true               for               this               nickname.

Alaska               is               one               of               the               few               places               in               the               United               States               you               can               find               a               Humpback               Whale,               so               the               Alaskans               have               embraced               it.
               5.

The               Rock               (Slippery               Rock               University)               -               First               of               all               I'm               pretty               sure               this               is               the               only               nickname               with               the               word               "The"               in               the               nickname.

Being               known               as               "The               Rock"               is               way               cooler               than               being               called               "Rocks."               Just               ask               former               WWE               wrestler               and               now               actor               Dwayne               "The               Rock"               Johnson.

Doesn't               that               sound               a               lot               cooler               than               Dwayne               "Rocks"               Johnson?
               4.

Centaurs               (Purdue               University-North               Central)               -               Believe               it               or               not               there               are               even               sports               nicknames               for               fantasy               geeks               to               love.

The               centaur               is               a               classic               half               man-half               horse               creature               that               can               be               found               in               a               lot               of               fantasy               stories.
               3.

Griffons               (Missouri               Western               State               College)               -               The               only               thing               better               than               a               half               man-half               horse               creature               is               a               half               eagle-half               lion               creature.
               2.

Dirtbags               (California               State               University-Long               Beach)               -               You               have               to               love               honesty               don't               you?

Yeah,               we're               dirtbags.

What               are               you               going               to               do               about               it?
               1.

Sand               Sharks               (University               of               South               Carolina-Beaufort)               -               I               know               that               technically               a               Sand               Shark               is               a               shark               that               swims               in               shallow               waters               in               tropical               places               but               it               sounds               a               lot               cooler               than               that.

A               Sand               Shark               sounds               like               a               shark               that               can               actually               swim               through               sand.

I               imagine               Sand               Sharks               as               not               being               in               the               ocean               at               all,               but               actually               swimming               through               the               desert,               picking               off               poor               starving               souls.

A               shark               that               swam               through               deserts               would               be               awesome!
