Can anyone think of any to go with the UC-Santa Cruz Banana Slugs and the Maryland Terrapins for the slowest conference in the world?

Cal-State Fullerton Titans (elephant is the mascot)

Alabama has an elephant in some of the athletic logos as well.

Let's not forget the Tufts Jumbos.

K-9 Conference

UCONN Huskies

Washington Huskies

Fresno St. Bulldogs

Northeastern Huskies

Yale Bulldogs

Gonzaga Bulldogs

S. Illinois Salukies

NC St. Wolfpack

Subtract Gonzaga, and add Georgia and Mississippi State, and you'd have 9 teams in the Canine Conference....

But then what would you do with the Loyola Greyhounds and the UMBC Retrievers?

P.S. For some reason the board isn't letting me quote multiple threads, thus the three consecutive posts.

Kind of irrelevant, but just in a mascot vein, is there an odder mix than Kansas? There are only eight NCAA schools in the state (3 DI), half of whom have mascots that nobody else has, Washburn Ichabods, Kansas Jayhawks, Wichita State Wheat Shockers (No, pretty sure it's not official anymore, but still the full title) and the Pittsburg State Gorillas. One school (which I honestly had never heard of until about 2 minutes ago) is known as the Jets of Newman University which is odd because it appears they basically use the old Winnepeg logo. The other 3 schools? Wildcats-K State, Tigers-Fort Hays State, Hornets-Emporia State. Are there other states out there with a 50% ratio of highly uncommon names like this?

I've decided to give up hope for all sports teams I follow
