For those of you who watched the movie Accepted... The South Harmon Institute of Technology Heads.
 
Not a weird name but unique: Pittsburg State University Gorillas.

Come on Smally, what's up with that? For a time there they were simply unbeatable. I've grown up close to Pittsburg almost my entire life, lol. The gorillas rock! So does Jim's Steak House.

There was a high school near me in Pekin, IL that were officially known as the Pekin Chinks. The team mascot was a student dressed as a Chinaman wearing a coolie hat, who struck a gong when the team scored. They changed in 1980 to the Dragons to eliminate the controversy.

True fact. My family is all originally from there. It's amazing how loyal the older generation was to the old mascot - you can still find Pekin Chinks items in town.

Liz has a cousin who's one of the coaches. makes sense huh? lol! At one point they had won like 2 years worth without a loss I think. Is that right Smally?
 
I don't think so, because they haven't won back to back National Titles that I can remember (definitely not since the early '80s when I went there). They've won a few, but have lost a lot of title games as well.

Actually not a team name. It's a community / golf club in SE Orlando about 10 minutes from my house. Lots of PGA/LPGA pros live there (Sergio, Annika, Yani, Ian, etc.).

Funny thing is that they have billboards in town that say 'Do you know Nona?'
