History of school nicknames

[Red Rebels]

Good stuff backwards Tomcats! Thanks for sharing. I like stories about how nicknames evolved and were not just picked. (Educators love alliteration)

I'm a former educator myself (retired).  I saw a coca-cola commercial on TV the other day.  The commercial shows the name Tomcats.  The  commercial relates to the Thiel College Tomcats in Pennsylvania.

This is a pretty good database. If you find a mistake, just email the guy and he will fix it. It's good to send him a link for documentation. I sent him a couple of corrections. He had William Blount as Blount. He was real nice and responded in an email. 

Check your schools and help build the database.

I'm guessing that there are quite a few that have or will eventually change.

Too bad they Anglicized it to Raven, instead of the Cherokee word Colonneh.
