Take A Look At Some Of The Silliest College Football Team Names In The NCAA Division
What is in a name? When you look at college football team name, you can't help but wonder why would someone name the name they did?
Why would someone name a college football team a "Hatter", "Seawolves" or a Kangaroo? I don't know, those just seem like silly names to me. So, today on the Top 5 at 7:45 I'll highlight some of the most silliest college football team names in the NCAA Division.
- Presbyterian College Blue Hose - The name itself just seems intimidating, doesn't it? I don't know if the team was named after a water hose or a woman's leggings.
- University of Minnesota Golden Gophers - So someone got the bright idea to name their football team after a small, burrowing rodent. I guess the gold adds value to the name. I trow not!
- St. Louis Billikens - A small, bald man with pointed ears and a lock of hair in the front was supposed to bring good luck.
- Purdue Boilermakers - Does this team cause your blood to boil? I think this name may have been awarded to this team as their college teaches blue collar worker's kids after high school. They were also referred to as the "coal heavers."
- Campbell Fighting Camels - Yeah, I can see this name being awarded to the team, especially with all the "camels" running rampant throughout Buies Creek, North Carolina, not.
