Let's not forget the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Quoting Kimberly Smith <[email protected]>:

At the risk of starting an extraneous string, The University of Arkansas at
Monticello men are the Boll Weevils and the women are the Cotton Blossoms...
even fewer mascots are named after plants, the notable exception being the
Indiana State Sycamores...

While backpacking here with my 11-year-old daughter, I kept thinking of
something tragic: so few kids these days know what happens when you lick a
