Talk:List of colleges by mascot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please note: I will be adding to this alot. -PhattyFatt 20:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Added a dozen or so Iowa college mascots to the list. Andrew42280 03:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] City, State?
The first half or so of the list have the city and state of the college listed after the listing. This is especially useful for, e.g. "Saint Mary's College," where there are multiple schools by the same name. The bottom half of the list doesn't seem to have them. Do we want them on all schools listed? —C.Fred (talk) 16:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Mascot"?
I'm not sure that every "mascot" in this list is really an actual "mascot". For instance, the University of North Dakota's North Dakota Fighting Sioux athletic program does not have an actual "mascot" even though this list denotes the mascot as "Fighting Sioux." UND has not had an actual "mascot" for years..."Fighting Sioux" is instead considered to be strictly a nickname, not a mascot. Perhaps this list would be better off called List of colleges by athletic nickname? --MatthewUND(talk) 08:30, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- I think that's got merit. I think leaving a redirect here is appropriate, since common usage equates nickname and mascot. On the other hand, it opens a new can of worms, since suddenly, "Ramblin' Wreck" is now a valid entry for Georgia Tech. I've flagged it for discussion on this talk page but not at Wikipedia:Requested Moves. —C.Fred (talk) 17:14, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Is this article just US schools?
I ask because the A.I.P. Fighting Owls from Panama are listed. I was going to remove, but nothing in the article clearly identifies it as only US schools, even though the vast majority are. Jbening (talk) 18:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
