I'd Rather be a Blue Jay Than a Keelhauler

Via BAH, the top 10 obscure college nicknames is a good, interesting read that doesn't just gloss over the wacky nickname and leave it at that. There's some backstory.

Both BAH and I were surprised that Wichita State did not make the cut. Certainly if Cobbers is listed, then Shockers deserves consideration. Plus, they have a cool mascot, and well... you know... the other thing.


That's it?! That's the list?! WSU mascot is shocked.

Sidenote: I have experience with one of the schools on the list. Each year while I was ballin' at Elizabethtown, we played the #7 obscurely-nicknamed Rowan University Profs. They were consistently good with solid hitting. The Profs' colors were brown and yellow, like Wichita State. Or the old, superior San Diego Padres unis.

Bonus: My school's nickname: Blue Jays. So... there you go.

Go Jays!
