Little bit off the subject but several years ago Memphis State had a point guard named Baskerville Holmes! He was a pretty good college player but I don't think he ever made it to the NBA. Might have played some CBA ball though.

Good final list Payton. The WTH list is exactly that, though all of them could come under WTH.

Just announced the fighting Artichokes will play their last football season in 2018

I bet that was a thorny issue.

Twitter is lit up with other jc coaches sending emails to Arizona HS coaches. It’s a mess

Nevermind, it was a Calif. joke coming from cold and wet South Carolina...there are no artichokes here, either.

Now you just need to create headlines like; The coons take it to the tarbabes in the black lives matter Bowl

He was actually a power forward, got drafted but never played NBA, played a bit overseas. Tragically killed his gf and then himself way back in the late 90's. Mental illness is real. Definitely an all-time name team guy.

Here's several from the Dakotas:

Devils Lake (ND) Satans - no longer in use; they switched to Firebirds in the early 2000s
Newell (SD) Irrigators - they go by "Gators" for short
Harding County (SD) Ranchers - they ranch up there
Edgemont (SD) Moguls - something to do with a train
Sioux Valley (SD) Cossacks - ancient Russian horsemen
Rapid City Central (SD) Cobblers - while their mascot is a shoe repair guy, they're actually named after some guy named Cobb, if I remember correctly
Pine Ridge (SD) Thorpes - Olympian/NFL star Jim Thorpe is from there
Sturgis (SD) Scoopers - Apparently Sturgis was once referred to as "Scoop Town"; their mascot is a burly dude with a shovel
Mitchell (SD) Kernels - home of the world famous Corn Palace
Dell Rapids (SD) Quarriers - there's a quarry there, apparently
Lake Preston (SD) Divers - apparently it was the first place in SD to get a diving board; who knew?
Gettysburg (SD) Battlers - makes perfect sense
Pierre (SD) Governors - state capital
McLaughlin (SD) Midgets - Dickinson, ND has the same name, as someone already mentioned
Vermillion (SD) Tanagers - a pretty, totally un-intimidating bird
Parker (SD) Pheasants - the (non-native) state bird, and the only state bird that you are encouraged to shoot
Beresford (SD) Watchdogs - like a bulldog but different
Platte/Geddes Black Panthers - obviously after the animal and obviously named well before the civil rights movement
Gregory (SD) Gorillas - uh....yeah, I don't know
Waverly (SD) Woodchucks - no longer in use due to school consolidation
Vale (SD) Beetdiggers - also no longer in use due to consolidation
Nisland (SD) Beettoppers - same story
Quinn (SD) Tuplets - perhaps the greatest of them all but, again, the school (and town) is now defunct

Just stumbled across this topic and see that you missed the best of all; the Rhode Island School of Design. Their basketball team is the "Balls" and their hockey team is the "Nads". Their mascot is Scrotie the Scrotum. https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/controversial-mascots/8/

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

The Cambell County Camels out of Gillette Wyoming just rolls off the tongue.

Also, I dont know why but the Frisco Fightin Coons always makes me smile...out of Frisco TX

Just the thought of a rabid raccoon is funny to me.

Hey now, just to clarify, its the Fightin Coons, and the mascot is a raccoon.
