	Accept "Fighting Sioux" and maybe come up with something other than Braves so we don't have to type the full name into three spots.

	I understand the desire not to give too many things away with one guess, but it doesn't make sense to have to type out "Atlanta Braves" when I only have to type the team name for most of the others (same problem with the two Warriors). I tried "Braves," and when it didn't come up I just assumed you had missed it or maybe they weren't actually named after Native Americans.

	if you won't accept "braves", at least accept "atlanta", since your hint refers to that city (independently from the team). and if anyone guesses "fighting sioux" they deserve to get credit and shouldn't need to guess north dakota instead

	1 globe. Delete the FYI column. The Utah Utes don't "coexist with Mormons", they are Mormons (over 60%), and no one thinks it's the plural of Utah. Also, Hawaii dropped "Rainbow" from their name a few years ago. And the Oregon Ducks obviously have the best uniforms in sport, not the Blackhawks.

	You need to be consistent with what you accept. Get rid of the hints and FYI (maybe throw in conference for college teams), drop University from Florida State, wtf is UNC Pembroke doing on here? If you're going to take more than just D-1 teams, you're missing quite a few, and even if you are doing just D-1 you're missing quite a few. Good idea, poorly done.

	Consistency is key. If you accept only the entire name fine, just state that. If only the nickname or the location then fine as well but PLEASE be consistent. Was confused when Fighting Illini and Fighting Sioux wouldn't work so I started typing full names. Then I type in Hawaii and just that works but just Florida State does not. Please fix it to be consistent in what answers it accepts.

	Not a great quiz, and if you were trying to be funny with the FYI's, you failed miserably.

	Either state you want full names or just accept nicknames for all even if it means you get 2-3 answers with one word.

	Thanks for all the suggestions. I've used them all to make it a better, less frustrating game. Thank you!

	i'd say W&M's use of the feathers in their logo counts as indigenous imagery. why is the FYI category necessary, anyway?

	tobinw:	Dec 3rd, 2010 at 22:59 GMT	-1 points
	I like the FYI category.

	hokies? not sure Hoyas, sure.

	For Illinois and North Dakota, "Illini" and "Sioux" are accepted but "Fighting Illini" and "Fighting Sioux" are not accepted. I'm guessing you have the "accept last names only" box checked instead of actually taking the effort to type out alternate answers.
