A guy I work with says that he went to school in or around Pittsburgh. It was Boyle (sp) high school. Their mascot is the Lancers.

The Boyle Lancers.

They HAD to know what they were doing, right? Can a school actually have this kind of a sense of humor?

Did you have, or hear of another school mascot that was either funny or creative?

I live "around Pittsburgh"..........and this would not surprise me.

Funny stuff. I once knew a guy from Arizona and he kept telling me that the mascot for his school was the 'Artichokes'. I always that was funny, but never looked into it.

UC-Santa Cruz is the Banana Slugs (I think). UC-Irvine is the Anteaters.

Both pretty good, but not in the same catagory as the Boyle Lancers.

Wasn't Virginia Tech once known as the "Fighting Gobblers" or something similar? That must have struck fear into the hearts of the opposition!

C3S

The school here was once known as the onion kings!!!!

I thought this was a very funny and interesting thread, so I was doing a little internet research for funny school mascots and came across several 'different' team names. Alot of these mascots have interesting histories. These are just a few:

Yuma, Arizona High School-'Criminals'

Laurel Hill, Florida 'Hoboes'

Freeport, Illinois 'Pretzels'

Blooming Prairie, Minnesota 'Awesome Blossoms'

My HS mascot name was... get this...

The Skippers.

As in 'Skipper' of a ship. Our school was near the ocean and RI is where they held the America's Cup race for all those years...

Pretty stupid name, but whataya gonna do?

The Boyle Lancers?!?!?! Oh my word!

A HS In Morgan Hill Ca.

The Live Oak Acorns...

(groan)

Boyle Lancers

HA!!

My school is on the North Shore of Long Island. The Port Jefferson Royals. Not to bad right?

Right. A Seahorse wearing a crown. Striking terror into the hearts of opposing teams!

In Edenton, NC the high school is, and this is no joke,

John Holmes Memorial High School.

Obviously it's not the same guy, but it makes me chuckle every time I drive by.

A Banana Slug may be an appropriate mascot here too.

South Dakota State Jackrabbits.

We were the Headless Horseman @ Sleepy Hollow H.S.

South Carolina GameCocks

Go ****

Ryan,

I actually have a SDSU tee shirt.

A seashorse with a crown? Ummm, yeah. I'll probably have nightmares this evening.

our team in HS was the Scorpions.

The Satellite Scorpions (Satellite High School)

stupid.

A buddy of mine goes to Delta State University in Mississippi and there mascot is the Fighting Okra
