Scrotie... such a great nickname for a hockey team named the Nads.. and their basketball team named the Balls... oh, talk about a good knee-slapper x 100

While the "Scrotie" mascot is no doubt hilarious to the 18-22 year old students, I imagine the school's faculty and administration are probably not quite as thrilled.

Honestly, I wonder how that could even have lasted more than 5 minutes. Has to be an internet hoax, right?

To my knowledge their mascot still is the Student Princes, but their nickname is “The Berg.” My two brother-in-laws played baseball for them and during their time there the mascot was designed.  I believe ESPN anchor John Buccigross graduated from Heidelberg and at times plugs the University when he can during related highlights.

For a couple years during my undergrad at Toledo (Rockets) the mascot was a rocket of sorts.  However it looked much more like a giagantic dildo with eyes, feet, and a big smile.  Seriously.  It was a dildo.

I always like the U of Richmond Spiders.  Maybe not weird enough for this list, but still.

Illinois College has the "Fighting Blueboy."  When I heard this I guffawed heartily, since I only knew the term "Blueboy" as a gay men's magazine. 

I was stuffily informed by my Illinois College alum friend that he was not joking.
