Wimpy Mascot Watch
Boy did we open up a can of worms with this one. Here's a list of some of America's wimpiest sports team names (all are high schools unless otherwise noted):

Poca (W.Va.) Dots
Benson Mighty Bunnies, Omaha, Neb.
Key West (Fla.) Conchs
Dunbar Poets, Baltimore (California's Whittier College, Richard Nixon's alma mater, also calls its teams the Poets)
Effingham (Ill.) Flaming Hearts
Kensington (Kan.) Goldbugs
Teutopolis (Ill.) Wooden Shoes (the girls' teams are the Lady Shoes)
Jordan (Utah) Beetdiggers
Mount Clemens (Mich.) Battling Bathers
Fort Collins (Colo.) Lambkins
Hickman Kewpies, Columbia, Mo.
Also worth noting are two college teams that are more goofy than wimpy: the University of California, Santa Cruz Fighting Banana Slugs and the Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College Artichokes.

And then there's the Rhode Island School of Design, which has a hockey team called the Nads. "They very seldom practice or win a game," reader J. Reeves writes. "However the supporters yell encouragement in the form of a cheer. They can be heard shouting 'Go Nads!' This is the truth by the way."
