You're not wrong... lol Green is not my favorite, and it is everywhere in this damn town. (Bearcats and Spoofhounds) St. Patrick's Day just looks like another day at the office in Maryville.

Wait, wait, wait...Spoofhounds?

Wait, wait, wait...Spoofhounds?

Yep... that's the high school masot. It's kind of a long story... started as an insult and ended up sticking. They are green and yellow. Sounds pretty tough, doesn't it?!!

That's incredible. That is now right up there with my personal favorite, the Newell Irrigators. Save this idea for an off-season thread. Ha

That and another Missouri high school mascot (Hickman Kewpies in Columbia) are consistently on top 10 unusual mascot in the country lists on ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc.

That's a good one too. Coached against them a few times. Haven't seen them on those lists though.

How about the Whitefaces of Hereford, Texas.

I had forgotten how quickly this thread got derailed. When I opened it this last time, all I saw was your post. Then I remembered... thanks for the fun WTF moment! Haha

I tried to stop the derailment as soon as I realized I may have just started it. I failed.

No worries NSU4LIFE, I got caught up in it and I started the thread. OK, back to the Elite Eight!

I think we can all agree that Railsplitters vs. Orediggers is the marquee nickname matchup of the Elite Eight.
