	I thought about typing Mountaineers, but was like, "nah, there has to be another M with more" then the clock ran out.

	I'm not surprised that there were only one team for letters like U, Y, and Z, but I can't believe the only N team is the Nittany Lions. N doesn't seem like it would be that uncommon of a letter.

	"SI Illinois - Edwardsville" would be "Southern Illinois Illinois - Edwardsville." The correct abbreviation is "SIU - Edwardsville" or "Southern Illinois - Edwardsville."

	Im pretty sure Central Florida is the Golden Knights.

	Tough call livinglegend. Why don't you take a look at the title of the quiz that specifies Division 1 men's basketball colleges. Most of the colleges on your list do not fall into that category.

	RoaringElbow-- they are just the Knights. Also, great quiz.

	Under Bulldogs, it should be UNC-Asheville not Ashville. Geoff: Gonzaga is the Bulldogs, not the Zags.

	The Quakers...hmm that nickname oughta strike fear into the hearts of opponents.

	My father, a U Akron alum always told me that the Zips got their name from a brand of rubber galoshes produced one of the rubber companies in Akron during the heyday of the rubber industry in that city. The boots were so named because they had zippers. How the Zips ended up with a kangaroo as a mascot...

	Only one 'N' team in the entirety of division one? Never woulda guessed.

	SOAR21:	Dec 22nd, 2009 at 00:03 GMT	1 point
	What's with the Golden Eagle? Seems a bit arbitrary, but I guess not. Four schools.

	gqb:	Dec 22nd, 2009 at 00:41 GMT	0 points
	I can't believe I missed Aggies!

	Great quiz. It's hard to believe that there's only one N team. There's not that many in the four professional sports either - only the Nets, Nuggets, and Nationals.

	This was TOUGH. I know college mascots pretty well, and I only got 12. I'm disappointed in myself.

	@RoaringElbow: UCF used to be the golden knights....since 2007 they have just been the knights

	This quiz needs some serious updating

	I can't think of many college mascots...but I'm glad the ones I knew were some of the more common ones.
