    I know there is a high school in Freport, IL that's mascot is the pretzel. I talked to a girl from there and apparently their battle cry is: "You can eat us, but you can't beat us!"
    Other Illinois schools --

    Fisher Bunnies
    Hoopeston Cornjerkers
    Monmouth Zippers
    Monticello Sages
    Teutopolis Wooden Shoes
    Williamsville Bullets (Junior High = BB's)

    Of course there's the Frankfort, Indiana Hot Dogs.

It would suck to be something that a thousand other schools have like the Bulldogs or something. (I think I read somewhere that is the most common among schools.) I do think it's funny that we have a Cardinal which has no correlation with a Cyclone, but hey, you gotta get the kids involved and i have a hard time imagining the little kids' faces lighting up like they do when they see CY, if our mascot was some sorta tornado looking thing.

    But as for the mentioning of the Shockers, they have the BEST and my personal favorite mascot/team name. I mean seriously, the Wichita State Shockers, that pic just says enough.

    For division 1 I think that tigers is the msot common uses mascot name. Also it probably doesn't seem as weird now, but why would you name your mascot after a buckeye?? That is like being the acorns or a pine cone.

    Of course, you have that memorable pic of that cheerleader throwing up the Shocker sign on national TV. Her parents must have been SO proud...
