They're promising a long wait before postponing this one. If there hadn't been a rainout last night, I'm sure this one would already have been canceled.
I'm going to haul out an old rain-delay question from many years ago. It's been long enough that I'm not even sure of the full answer anymore. Take your best shot.
Name the NCAA Division I schools (football or basketball) whose nickname does not end in an 'S'?
(The last time I remember looking there were like 29, of which you should definitely know 14. Those numbers may have changed.)
I can only come up with 25:
ReplyDeleteAlabama Crimson Tide
Bucknell Bison
Centenary Gentlemen
Cornell Big Red
Dartmouth Big Green
Elon Phoenix
Harvard Crimson
Hofstra Pride
Howard Bison
Illinois Fighting Illini
Marshall Thundering Herd
Massachusetts Minutemen
Navy Midshipmen
Nevada Wolf Pack
North Carolina St. WolfPack
North Dakota St Bison
North Texas Mean Green
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Saint Francis Red Flash
Saint John's Red Storm
Stanford Cardinal
Syracuse Orange
Tulane Green Wave
Tulsa Golden Hurricane
U.Wisc-GB Phoenix
When we threw that question around, Penn's official nickname was the "Red and Blue," though everyone knew them as the Quakers.
ReplyDeleteI see the nickname is now Quakers.
Oh, and you'd be surprised how many people in the state of Alabama would leave out Alabama.
ReplyDeleteAlso, let us mourn the passing of the Hofstra Flying Dutchmen.
