Tulane’s nickname is the Green Wave. Can you name other nicknames that do not end in ‘s’, like the Fighting Irish, the Bucknell Bison? There’s a bunch...

Tulane ran the ball all the way down the field on one series...wait for it: out of the RPO shotgun...AND with QB under center. They didn’t pass the ball until like play #10 and it ruined the drive

Houston’s D was probably terrible but that OC is probably an up and comer

So clearly they will play for a MNC because if you do that...it means you have it all figured out. Yet the MNC winners the last decade pretty much lived in the gun running the RPO.

Those are some of the nicest jerseys ive ever seen. What a comeback to beat Houston, Holgy is struggling early with them.

The MNC winners over the last decade also know how to execute a screen pass.

When I first saw the game and Green Wave had on blue unis, I went WTF?? However, I found out one of their primary school colors is sky blue.

Sorry, I posted and then saw your post. Dartmouth used to be the Indians back in the day.

Are they a fighting machine?

A women’s college with a focus on agriculture could be the Fighting Hoes. They would be fighters, or something.

I guess the Cougar defensive issues weren’t all due to Mark D’Onofrio.

Actually named that because of Mean Joe Green.

Wouldn't they then be the Mean Greene?

That was a great trick play because there is a fine line there:

Article 3. A ball is declared dead when:

o. a ball carrier simulates placing his knee on the ground.

I think you’ll find that the latter two changed their nicknames for PC purposes.
The worst one for me was St. John’s becoming the red storm, whatever that is.

LOL holgerson....

LOL holgerson....

Someone tell Holgerson he doesn't coach in the Big XII any longer. He's allowed to have a defense.

interesting, is that a pro or college rule?

Damn you! I was going to post that! Nice work.

There are several aspects of the (former) PSU offense that have disappeared over the last 1+ years...… the "screen pass" is one of them - but probably not in the top 3 wrt negative impact.

How about the Jet sweep - I guess when Polk left they decided to scrap it. I do miss the screen seeing as how we got burned on it twice Saturday and I think the whole stadium saw it coming both times. Pry should have had them ready for that.

That's a college rule. I'm not sure what the NFL rule is.

Maybe:

"The name "Mean Green" was adopted by fans and media in 1966 for a North Texas football defensive squad that finished the season second in the nation against the rush.[2] That school year, Joe Greene,[3] then a sophomore at North Texas, played left defensive tackle on the football team and competed in track and field (shot put).
There are conflicting accounts for the origin of the nickname. Two possible origins are two separate cheers that supposedly developed during North Texas' 1966 game against UTEP. One cheer was by Sidney Sue Graham, wife of the North Texas sports information director. In response to a tackle by Greene, she blurted out, "That’s the way, Mean Greene!"[4]
However, Bill Mercer, former North Texas play-by-play announcer, states Graham's thought behind the nickname was the Mean Green defense.[5] Her husband began including the nickname for the team in press releases and it caught on with the media.
Meanwhile, in the student section, North Texas basketball players Willie Davis and Ira Daniels, unsatisfied with the unenthusiastic crowd, began to chant "Mean Green, you look so good to me."[6] The rest of the crowd soon followed. "After that we did it every game," Davis says.
"A lot of people later on started associating it with Joe because his last name was Greene, but it actually started with that simple chant that Saturday night at Fouts Field. And that's the truth."[4] By 1968, "Mean Green" was on the back of shirts, buttons, bumper stickers, and the cover of the North Texas football brochure. Even the band became identified as the "Mean Green Marching Machine."[7]

NFL Network’s A Football Story on Joe Greene lied to me!
