College Sports Mascot Trivia
Name colleges/universities whose mascots DO NOT end with the letter "s".

I'll start:

North Carolina State University "Wolfpack"


Here's all I ask: Please just name ONE school, not two or three or more. JUST ONE. That'll give everyone a chance to participate.


There's several of them out there. Let's see how many we can list.

50. They've had three mascots over the years
Ramblin' Wreck, Engineers, and Yellow Jackets.

The only other school I know with three mascots is Auburn Univeristy:

Tigers, War Eagles, Plainsmen

(though some will argue War Eagles is not a mascot, but at one time it was)

32. OK, A New Game
Name all the professional sports teams (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) whose mascot ends in a letter other than 's'. I think there's seven. Let's stick with the one at a time rule.

43. Good Job
I'm pretty sure that's all of them.

I've got a new sports trivia question.

What are the only two days out of the year in which there is never a professional sporting event played? (again, as usual, soccer doesn't count)

46. You may have it.
Edited on Fri Jan-23-04 11:05 AM by YNGW
The day before and the day after the All Star Game (baseball)

Too early for football (August start), too early for Hockey (October start ???), NBA Finals are over in June. Baseball All Star Games are usually in July.

47. I was pretty sure that was it.
I'm a really big sports nut (especially for a girl) so I usually do pretty good at this trivia stuff.

I can't tell you how many hours I spent in the car or sitting around the house with my dad and my little brother with my dad tossing questions at us..."where did so-and-so go to college"..."what's the mascot for such-and-such university"..."who holds the record for the most blah in a game" :-)
