Man I bet you never knew there were so many different names for sport teams!

 Here will list only a few that we know that can give you some idea of the different names that people have come up with for ‘their’ team. Some of the most enduring and best known names are unique. There’s only one Fighting Irish, only one Sooners and only one Orangemen, but there is a team in Syracuse, New York known simply as ‘Orange’. The Texas Longhorns are unique, as are the Kansas Jayhawks, The Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Georgia Tech’s Ramblin’ Wreck, the Arkansas Razorbacks, and the university where I (finally) graduated the Florida State University Seminoles, called simply as the `Noles.
 Likewise unique are the names of the Purdue Boilermakers, the Richmond Spiders, the Arizona State Sun Devils, the Carolina Tar Heels (a name earned by the confederate troops in the Civil war of 1860 to 1865 for holding their ground in battle.) Then there is the Penn State Nittany Lions, the Maryland Terrapins and the Thundering Heard of Marshall.
 The name “tigers” are not unique – there are at least 44 teams bearing the name Tigers (and many more) – but the Harvard Crimson is one of a kind, as are the Elis of Yale. The Furman Paladins stand alone, as do the Keydets of VMI, the Hawaii Rainbow, the Akron Zips, the Wichita State Shockers, Minnesota Golden Gophers and the Toledo Rockets. The Indiana Hoosiers, the Texas Christian Horned Frogs and the Virginia Tech Hokies all have played well. Then we such names as the Santa Cruz Banana Slugs or the Irvine Anteaters? Then Converse College has the name All-Stars. While Brooklyn College is known as the Bridges.
 Team names with a unique local appeal would include the Black Flies of the College of the Atlantic, the Blue Hose of Presbyterian College, the Columbia College in California Claim Jumpers, the North Dakota Mines & Technology Hardrockers, the university of Alaska-Southwest Humpback Whales, the Arkansas Tech Wonderboys, the Keel Haulers of the California Maritime Academy and the Evergreen State College Geoducks.
 Perhaps there’s a more relaxed, even whimsical approach to team names among the Whittler College Poets, the Heidelberg College Student Princes, the Rowan College Professors and the Lord Jeffs of Amherst. And surely, and afternoon of athletic contests between the Sweet Briar College Vixens and the Arkansas-Monticello Cotton Blossoms would serve the highest order of sportsman ship.
 The Egyptian dog the Salukis have a team named after them in Illinois. There are two Antelopes (Grand Canyon University and Nebraska-Kearney). Antelopes are native to Asia and Africa.
 The name Gamecocks can be found with various teams and the name Rebels also. There are three Red Raiders, three Hurricanes, several Wolfpacks and even two 49ers. There are two Squirrels, and two Rattlers
 Six teams call themselves the Gators, one tried to call them selves the Golden Gators, but somehow after awhile the golden was dropped.
 Some of the names are close but not quite the same. There’s the Crimson Tide of Alabama, the Crimson Wave of Calumet College and the Crimson Storm of Southern Nazarene University. Who changed their name from the Redskins in 1998.
 Eagles are easily the most popular choice with 53 teams proudly flying that moniker. If you count the Golden Eagles as well, the total is 68. Add the Soaring Eagles and Screaming Eagles and the total rises above 70.
 And finally the Zias of Eastern New Mexico honors the sun symbol of the Zia Indians of New Mexico.
 I know I have missed out on a lot of the names, perhaps you could write them down here in the Web page, and then we should try to list all of the various team names of Belize.
