	Re Evan: Not quite. Teams like the Duke Blue Devils, Marquette Golden Eagles, and Texas Tech Red Raiders aren't on the list.

	Naming your team 'Orange' must be a real pain for the cheerleaders.

	Evan:	Feb 21st, 2009 at 17:09 GMT	-3 points
	yggdrasil, I know. thats why i said pretty much. just saying most of the teams on this list have a color, or atleast thats what it seems like

	I don't know why i tried this one. My husband is the college sports guy, not me. Oh well, interesting anyway.

	Damn, this quiz is hell! Only got ten, though there's no excuse for missing five others.

	any chance of taking "Irish" for "Fighting Irish" and "Illini" for "Fighting Illini"? I went to U of Illinois and we normally referred to the team as the Illini, no matter how "fighting" they were

	tom:	Feb 21st, 2009 at 17:50 GMT	5 points
	...yeah, just like the sioux. we more commonly call ourselves the sioux, fighting sioux is just the "full" name. example: "are you going to the sioux game tonight?" ...however, it was nice to see both ND teams on there :D

	North Texas has two nicknames, the other being the Eagles, and they can't seem to decide which one to choose.

	Very difficult, but very fun. I've gotta ask, though: Blue Hose? Really?

	@tfeely: Presbyterian is in the Big South for Division 1 Basketball... and North Dakota is in the Division 1 Independents...

	nhrafan:	Feb 21st, 2009 at 19:29 GMT	1 point
	wow... i got 8 of the 14 least known answers but only 6 of the 14 most known. go figure.

	alh:	Feb 21st, 2009 at 20:30 GMT	2 points
	i only knew 10 but at least i got my school, Hofstra.

	Centenary GENTLEMEN? Presbyterian BLUE HOSE? where do these nicknames come from?

	davidr:	Feb 22nd, 2009 at 09:06 GMT	4 points
	@JP: Dunno, but the Blue Hoes are just asking for typos.

	chaotic8512:	Feb 23rd, 2009 at 02:07 GMT	9 points
	So when are we going to get the "Name every Division 1 basketball school" quiz? I'm hoping soon!

	leakbrewergator:	Feb 23rd, 2009 at 13:38 GMT	1 point
	^^^^ YES!!!!!!

	jaspa:	Feb 23rd, 2009 at 18:27 GMT	-1 points
	Saint Johns should probably be accepted

	tom:	Mar 4th, 2009 at 02:03 GMT	4 points
	The Fighting Sioux nickname may no longer be. Within a year or two, maybe three, the name may change...due to "controversy." And yes, North Dakota is a D1 school, this is our first year of D1 competition (in all sports other than hockey).

	Much more difficult than I thought it would be! :) It inspired me to make this quiz: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Esme/ncaa_color_team_names Thanks for the idea! :)

	If you include women's teams, you would get the Hawaii Wahine and the USC Women of Troy (and the UIUC Flying Illini).

	I thought it was Tulsa's nickname was plural?

	dham85:	Jun 14th, 2010 at 23:51 GMT	1 point
	north Dakota fighting sioux!!!

	eirishis:	Jun 16th, 2010 at 14:26 GMT	1 point
	this quiz is missing both the sioux and the william and mary tribe.

	sobdennis:	Jun 21st, 2010 at 22:15 GMT	1 point
	I took the quiz twice because I could have shot myself for some of the ones I missed the first time. I mean, Fighting Irish? midshipmen? Two of the best known. Anyway, I got 19 the second time and still missed a few I should have gotten.

	idledandy:	Jun 29th, 2010 at 01:12 GMT	5 points
	Hello? William & Mary Tribe!!! Go Tribe...

	tom:	Jul 26th, 2010 at 02:26 GMT	1 point
	Unfortunately, the University of North Dakota has decided to retire the "Fighting Sioux" nickname and logo and are given one more year (this upcoming season) to wear the logo until a new nickname and logo have to be used.

	William and Mary Tribe They used to be the Indians, but that was a while ago.

	TheTeach:	Aug 7th, 2010 at 15:18 GMT	2 points
	Where's William and Mary? They showed up (as I thought) as the Tribe in another quiz on here.

	Great to see my alma mater on a quiz... There's a Hurricane alert in Tulsa!

	@fsu211022: UIUC women don't fight, they fly. If you read my comment, you would have noticed it began "If you include women's teams,". And if you couldn't figure it out, UIUC is the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. (Yes, they have a university, not just a basketball team.) FSU is, of course, the Bulldogs, which ends in S and is not included because they are division II in all sports except hockey. www.ferrisstatebulldogs.com

	Where's the William and Mary Tribe??

	fradserk:	Oct 27th, 2010 at 04:53 GMT	1 point
	William and Mary Tribe? North Dakota Fighting Sioux?

	Cool_Runnings:	Nov 5th, 2010 at 04:42 GMT	2 points
	Hate to continue to the badgering here, but where is William and Mary? and while North Dakota is still using the nickname, include Fighting Sioux.

	robertloggia16:	Nov 18th, 2010 at 04:08 GMT	0 points
	Tainted... If I type too fast the name isn't taken... Plus a lot of them come up before the full name is typed, so I have to go back and delete the last letter I type before going on to the next name.

	where is william and mary? thomas jefferson is rolling in his grave that u forgot his alma mater.
