College Football Team Animal Names

There are a lot of schools with scary-sounding predator names, like Lions and Tigers and Bears (Oh my!), but if it really came down to it, you’d scrap with one of those for your life, right? Sure, you might lose, but you’d go down swinging or try to run away clean. Either way, it’s respectable. But how about naming your college team after something scroungy and gross: some animal nobody would even want to touch, let alone fight!

Yes, there are a few animal names not yet taken, and they might put the heebie-geebies into your opponents before they even hit the field! So why not use such a name? What do I mean? How about the Rabid Raccoons, the Ravenous Rats, the Slimy Cockroaches, the West-Nile-Virus-Infected Mosquitoes, the Squishy Silverfish, the Vile Vermin, the Chiggers, the Lice, the Tapeworms, the Viruses, the Flesh-Eating Bacteria, etc. Your rivals might not want to have to tackle one of those, so you just might win the game!
