Sykotyk Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 New York has two interesting names: Utica Notre Dame Jugglers Herkimer Magicians Elsewher, you have the Yuma (AZ) Criminals. ESPN made famous two names: Watersmeet (MI) Nimrods Devils Lake (ND) Satans The last, sadly, was finally done in by the bible thumper crowd that it was unholy to be rooting for a team named the Satans and are now the Firebirds.

I always thought it was odd that people were too "holy" to cheer for the Satans, but had no issue living in a town called Devils Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Not high schools, but two junior colleges. Scottsdale Community College Fighting Artichokes. Lake Tahoe Community College Fighting Salmon (my old college. They’re basic as though and changed their name to the Coyotes a few years ago).

crashcarson15 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Indiana has some solid ones, but I'll share my favorite: The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is not actually located in Indianapolis -- it's located in the appropriately named small town of Speedway, which is an enclave of the city. Speedway's teams are known as the Sparkplugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 some of the older names here, in addition to the aforementioned Pius Popes, we got the Manitowoc Ships, Waukesha South Blackshirts, D.C. Everest Evergreens, Rhinelander Hodags, Kimberly Papermakers, St. Mary's Springs Ledgers and Monroe Cheesemakers. That, and both Madison and Milwaukee have schools whose teams are Purgolders.
