Before any of my regular readers get upset let me point out right off the bat that I am NOT going to start covering Division 1 sports on a regular basis. This will simply be a quick list of the most unique nicknames for D1 teams outside of the 120 schools that count as 1A (FBS for you spineless conformists) for football. There’s no contest this time and I won’t bother with pertinent details about the schools. I’ll just feature the logos and my pithy comments. Since this is the only time I’ll deal with Division 1 I’m doing more than 20 to get all the unique names in. And by unique I mean a name not shared by a team in one of the divisions I cover, hence no UTSA Roadrunners or Campbell Camels, etc.

32. SAINT FRANCIS (PA) RED FLASH – CONFERENCE AFFILIATION – THE NORTHEAST CONFERENCE – The name and logo can’t help but make you think of the superhero The Flash from DC Comics which lends the nickname a certain kind of Neo-Nerd Chic. Sort of like the Blue Streaks from a few divisions down in the college sports world. Plus this school plays football, always a plus with me. Continue reading

An alleged injury plus three losses in a row since The Big Ringless (Or The Lord Of No Rings, take your pick) made with his bitchy little tweet about his former team’s plight. A tweet he then tried to deny with a lame story NOBODY believed since everyone knows a retweet will have an RT in front of it. Is Lebron a genuine sports world villain, or is he just incredibly stupid? Or simply immature? We do have to remember that he was hyped as King James since he was in high school even though he hadn’t done anything to earn such a nickname. Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan have multiple championship rings and are far more Continue reading

In another one of those wonderful reality checks for Division 1 sports programs who think they’re still on top of the world despite all the evidence to the contrary the Michigan Wolverines just got rejected AGAIN by a former “Michigan Man”, in this case Les Miles. The Mad Hatter decided to pass on the opportunity to chew grass in the Big House 8 times a year and stayed at LSU. My comedy piece from last week about Michigan’s insane and outdated Schembechleresque obsession with finding a Michigan Man prompting them to bring Ex-President Gerald R Ford back from the dead to coach their team is even more relevant so here’s the link to it: https://glitternight.com/2011/01/08/pres-gerald-ford-returns-from-the-dead-to-coach-the-michigan-wolverines/
