In my lifetime (68 years) I am familiar with Plainsmen, Tigers and War Eagles.
Just WHO IS Auburn? Is there an official mascot?

I remember during the "Tangerine Bowl" several years ago Brent Musburger referring to au as the "Eagles".. I'm not sure if this was Barfield or Dye coaching at the time. :biggrin2:

I feel that's a valid observation indeed. But you know, I'm eternally grateful we're not nicknamed after a bird or some common species of cat..:biggrin2:

it's really weird that the two biggest universities in the state have "two" mascots. are there many other schools in the us that have the same thing?

Bama has but one mascot -- the Elephant. Its nickname is The Crimson Tide. It's yell is Roll Tide Roll.

Now as to the country cousins of Lee County .... Hmmmmm. Have come to the conclusion the Barn has multiple personality disorder -- one moment its an eagle, then a tiger, then a plainsman. Medication and years of therapy can help in most cases but then others are a lost cause.

Only 5 schools have 2 official nicknames.
1.Virginia (wahoos,cavaliers)
2. Georgia Tech ( ramblin` wreck, yellow jackets)
3. Virginia Tech (gobblers, hokies)
4. Hofstra (flying dutchmen, the pride)
5. Yale ( bulldogs, elis )

Can anyone name the two teams that have three official nicknames?
