Jeff Pender-graphs: The Nickname Of The Game

I love nicknames. Below is a link to the most complete list of NBA nicknames, from “Big Shot Bob” to “Big Red.” From “Baby Jordan” to “Baby Shaq.” So funny! You’ve got to love good sports nicknames.

Oregon high schools have some great mascots/nicknames. I have to say my all-time favorite is the Tillamook “Cheesemakers.” That is hard to beat, especially since I love “Tillamook Cheese.”

Some of my favorites:
• C.S. Lewis Academy – Watchmen (because I’m a big fan of both C.S. Lewis and the movie “Watchmen”)
• Arlington/Lakeview – Honkers (two Honkers… what are the odds?)
• South Eugene – Axeman
• Huntington – Locomotives
• Oregon Episcopal – Aardvarks

Oregon’s most popular:
17 Eagles
14 Tigers
12 Cougars
12 Warriors
10 Bulldogs
8 Lions
8 Panthers
5 Indians
5 Hawks
4 Grizzlies
4 Wildcats

HERE is a complete list of all the Oregon high schools and their mascots.

The fact that our two major universities are the Ducks and Beavers is also pretty great also.
