They used to be the Blue Devils, but merged with another nearby school who were the Tigers and became the Gators.

The Gators. In update New York.

It's just wrong man. Just plain wrong.

1. Just ahead of their time
They're waiting for global warming to cause gators to move to upstate NY.

4. Or North Carolina, for that matter
One man's unbridled greed has ruined the sport for me.

10. So long as the Utah Jazz exist
they will not have the worst possible name.

The whitest place on the face of the earth and they call their team the jazz. Why it is a fact (not really) that when the basketball team moved there, the african american population of Utah went up one percentage point.

:-)
