Blue and Grey College Football's Blog

St. Nick(name)

Honestly, if I have another piece of chocolate, I think I'm literally going to blow up.

Little college nickname quiz. Used to do this with another guy when I was in junior high. Still doing it after all these years.

These are all schools you should know if you consider yourself a serious college football fan. Not crazy obscure, but no USC's either. See how many you know without peeking (Google-ing). I'm going off the top of my head here.

Colorado State

San Diego State

Georgia Southern

Lehigh

Youngstown State

South Florida

Delaware

Texas-El Paso (UTEP)

Idaho

Furman

Bowling Green

New Mexico State

Oh, and yeah, it's supposed to be fun.

Good work thehemogoblin, Lehigh is The Mountain Hawks (they bailed out on their original nickname a few years ago, i.e., The Engineers, much better than the Mountain Eagles. Believe me, I live about 10 minutes from Lehigh.....no mountain eagles around here. The diamond purple pointy thingies (lol) re Furman would be the Palladins. Thanks

UC Santa Barbara

UC Irvine

UC Santa Cruz

Portland State

Indiana State

Northern Arizona

Fun game, I think I got most of them without help from the comments

Spot on with UC Irvine and Indiana State, RU Gator!

You might have been thinking of Northern Illinois with the Huskies, though... Northern Arizona is a more unusual nickname, which doesn't come to mind when you think of Arizona... (obscure hint: think of a particular cross-dressing song from Monty Python's Flying Circus... I'm sure Kenny Mayne has been dying to drop *that* on a sportscast)

Lumberjacks? and you're right, when I saw "Northern" I went right to Illinois. Thanks
