UW-Platteville for the longest time didn't have a "mascot" (they were called the Pioneers though). They picked one up recently.

Also they have the World's Largest M, for what it's worth.

Also I'm surprised there aren't more coastal schools with a shark mascot. Like UCF/USF should be the Sharks instead of their current lame nicknames.

My high school hired its first coach before they had a name for the team when they built the place in the 50s. His last name was Knight, so we became the Knights then and there. When I was in high school, our coach had the last name King.

Unfortunately, both King and his Knights were terrible and the Pittsburgh newspapers never got a chance to use the puns and "clever" article titles you'd want.

To be fair, Harbaugh strikes me as the type to get up at 4:15 am everyday to do a workout that includes 5 and 7 step drops.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
Harbaugh seems like someone you could gaslight really easy and probably really gently caress up his life because it seems like it would be intensely regimented and ordered.

What I'm saying is how can we gaslight Harbaugh?

Apparently back stage at the AFCA awards last night, Rick Neuheisel noticed Harbaugh wearing a blue suit. He jokingly asked Harbaugh where his khakis were. Harbaugh stated, "I'm wearing my blue khakis."



Harbaugh thinks all slacks are khakis.

We use this forum to mock virtually every well known coach in the sport for the dumb stuff they say or do.

A mod once spent real life time and money dedicating a website to making fun of a coach for having epilepsy and we thought it was the funniest loving thing ever.

You sure? I think it is him. Pretty sure he's yelled at me like 3 times thinking when I post about Harbaugh it's because VT lost that Sugar Bowl and why am I even bothering posting about Michigan because VT isn't a rival.
