Don't Stomp on the Bird - Louisville

From Papa John's to KFC Yum Center, Louisville is a tough place for other teams to play. One Big East school discovered that the hard way when members of their football team stomped on the Cardinal before the game. The result of that act of disrespect? Only a 70-7 stomping of the opposing team, by the Cards. Lesson learned.

Varsity Village - Cincinnati

So here I sat, wondering just exactly what a Bearcat was and then I found out it's a Binturong. Then I had to ask, "what is a Binturong"? Well, its a mascot for the U of Cincinnati and it stands for hard nosed football, great basketball, good baseball and other men's and women's sports. Come to Cincy and play them, you'll find out for yourself. However, it's easier and less painful to talk about them in this forum.

The Cannon War - Rutgers

Legend has it that Frank "Pop" Rogers once said, "I would die for dear old Rutgers". Maybe he did say it or maybe he helped steal back the cannon from Princeton. Whatever the case, you don't have to die for dear old Rutgers but here in the Cannon War forum, you can keep 'em guessing.

Rubbing Jonathan's Nose - UConn

Tradition dictates that rubbing the nose of the Husky mastcot Jonathan, is good luck before exams. I rubbed John's nose once and he hit me. Go figure. Over a hundred years of UConn athletic history with always solid basketball and football just coming into its own as Big East power. Opponents cannot overlook the other sports.

Fighting Irish - Notre Dame

No college is richer in tradition than Notre Dame. The list of past Notre Dame heroes is too long to type and my fingers would get tired if I tried. Better to enter this forum and talk about the glorious past and bright future of this famed athletic program.

'Nova Nation - Villanova

When I was looking for something to write about 'Nova, I was immediately struck by how many national championships they have won, especially in track. For someone like myself, who can be timed with a calendar, that is impressive and their national championship in men;s basketball ain't too shabby either.

The Lake of Fire - DePaul

Revelation 20:10
"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." Well Lake Michigan may not exactly be the Lake of Fire but the DePaul Blue Demons will show you a thing or two about basketball and a few other sports.

The Cognomen Friar Statue - Providence

Providence has had many different nicknames for their athletic teams throughout the years. The Cardinals, Dominicans, the Smith Hillers, North End Boys and Black/White before settling on Friars in 1929. That name fits as 13th century Friars were highly mobile and not confined to a single abbey or monastery, just like the basketball team, who can run like the wind and can beat you at any gym.
