The guys in my office love to have a good time with unique school mascot names. So I did a quick search and came up with the following link: http://www3.baylor.edu/~Larry_Frazier/mascot.htm
There is a school not too far from us in Freeport, IL whose mascot is the Pretzels. To an outsider, it’s a target of ridicule, but say something to the face of a Freeporter and you’re likely to get a fist of Pretzel Power. They’re might proud of their mascot.
This one and many others such as the University of California, Santa Cruz Banana Slugs are included on the website listed above. So far I only see American schools listed…
