ROFL.

Speaking of Mascots, at a Catholic University about 100 miles from here, there is a mascot of a Leprechaun in a fightin' stance. They call themselves the Fighting Irish. I don't see the Irish upset over that. Or the Boston Celtics in a city known for Irish.

If you notice sports teams are named after "tough fighters or animals". You don't see the Detroit Bunny Rabbits, you see the Detroit Lions. There are a reason that you see team names like Bulldogs, Spartans, Wolverines, Fighting Irish, Celtics, Trojans, Jaguars, Lions, Tigers, Grizzlies, Bears, Chippewas, Hurons, Eagles, Timberwolves, Highlanders, Seminoles, and Vikings. You don't see teams named after the rabbits, mice, rats, squirrels, French, peaceniks, and the like.

It's a sign of toughness.

Unless, of course, you attend the Univeristy of California, Santa Cruz. You would be a Banana Slug. No kidding!

Guess you never heard of the New York University Violets.

That must explain the University of California, Santa Cruz Banana Slugs!
