	New favorite nickname: The Oakland Golden Grizzlies

	What about the Peacocks on the opposite end? Softest mascot out there!

	You take "Irish", "Rebels" & "Eagles (for Marquette). You need to accept "Illini" for Illinois.

	HolyTurf:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 17:50 GMT	1 point
	Good point on Illini...it has been updated!

	HolyTurf:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 17:51 GMT	-3 points
	Sconroy93...sorry for any confusion.

	bsquad:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 19:18 GMT	0 points
	UNLV is technically just the Rebels or Runnin' Rebels. There is no 'g' on Running.

	HolyTurf:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 19:34 GMT	-1 points
	bsquad...thanks for the heads up. The g has been removed.

	HolyTurf maybe change the word mascot to nickname and make it a answer per cell game instead of getting a bunch when you type in certain answers.. it will make it a tad harder.. but much better I think

	HolyTurf:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 20:46 GMT	1 point
	Title has been changed to nicknames from mascots and you must guess them in order now. Best of luck!

	JayO:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 21:33 GMT	1 point
	For consistency, it's probably best to list Old Dominion as part of the CAA (which you've done with George Mason and VCU) rather than just "Colonial." I can't believe we have two sets of Terriers this year!

	sc00:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 23:09 GMT	2 points
	@HolyTurf - For me one of the marks of a good quiz is when the creator takes the time to continually improve it. Great Job.

	HolyTurf:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 23:21 GMT	0 points
	JayO...ODU's conference has been updated to CAA.

	amwoods13:	Mar 15th, 2011 at 00:45 GMT	1 point
	4 Wildcats and 4 Bulldogs going at it this year.

	so many birds and jungle cats!!

	sobdennis:	Mar 15th, 2011 at 02:08 GMT	3 points
	I think the teams with two word names should require the whole name. Penn State is not the Lions. UNLV is not the Rebels, etc.

	GAAAAAUUUUUCCCHHHHOOOOOOSSSSS

	ArtVark:	Mar 15th, 2011 at 07:28 GMT	-1 points
	I find it funny that among the first five nicknames are Trojans and Bruins and neither is USC or UCLA.

	got 64 right... the proper number of tournament teams

	HolyTurf:	Mar 15th, 2011 at 21:58 GMT	2 points
	Paucle...I double checked. Cincinnati's nickname is with a C- Bearcats

	Paucle:	Mar 15th, 2011 at 22:33 GMT	0 points
	thanks for checking, HT: I was thinking of Sam Houston St, evidently!

	debbiedoesnothin:	Mar 16th, 2011 at 07:23 GMT	4 points
	I really think there should be teams named the Boston Terriers, George Mason Jars and Belmont Stakes.

	alkat20:	Mar 16th, 2011 at 22:05 GMT	0 points
	might want to clarify "Boston" as being Boston University.

	koopa08:	Mar 18th, 2011 at 03:30 GMT	0 points
	5:39 to go. I LOVE this time of year!!!

	KansasJayhawk:	Mar 18th, 2011 at 04:22 GMT	1 point
	I love the name Gauchos.

	WorthlessKicker:	Mar 19th, 2011 at 14:14 GMT	3 points
	I stopped when it didn't accept "Jimmers" or "Fighting Fredettes" for BYU. Oh wait...

	Saints09:	Apr 3rd, 2011 at 14:58 GMT	-1 points
	got 5 wrong.
