You mixed up Siena Saints and St Peters Peacocks.

Level ∞

Fixed

Level 88

Dec 20, 2017

UC Riverside, NJIT, and Radford are all called the Highlanders? Impossible...there can be only one!

Level 76

Dec 21, 2017

Bison and bisons should be accepted together.

Level ∞

Dec 21, 2017

Okay

Level 79

Sep 6, 2022

No they shouldn't. Only Lipscomb uses Bisons. All other teams use Bison.

Level 80

Dec 22, 2017

AR - Little Rock is the Trojans, not the Mountaineers.

Level ∞

Dec 23, 2017

Fixed

Level 69

Dec 25, 2017

Missing an "s" in Texa [s] - Rio Grande Valley

Level 37

Jan 17, 2018

Please change to accept Gophers in addition to Golden Gophers for Minnesota

Level 89

Jan 25, 2018

Dang...I really wanted it to be the Elon Musks. :(

Level 91

Feb 21, 2018

Or at least the Musketeers...

Level 87

Nov 11, 2018

If only there was someone with a huge amount of money they could donate to make this name change happen . . .

Level 81

Oct 21, 2018

You accept just Warriors for Hawaii on the football quiz.

Level 79

Dec 24, 2020

I believe that's because Hawaii allows their programs to select their name from three choices (Warriors, Rainbow Warriors, and Rainbows). This may have since changed, and now all teams are Rainbow Warriors, but I'm not positive.

Level 87

Nov 11, 2018

To the 14 schools called the Bulldogs and the 13% of people who didn't get Ducks: try harder.

Level 87

Nov 11, 2018

Also, it made me happy to learn that Hawaii is officially the Rainbow Warriors again and not just the Warriors.

Level 48

Nov 11, 2018

As a non-American I don't quite understand why college sports are such a big thing in the US.

Level 65

Mar 18, 2019

As an American who doesn't really follow college sports, I can offer my best theory. College sports are just like professional sports, except there's more of a vested interest because many of the fans were/are a part of the institution they're now supporting. Also, people who don't live near big cities don't have a professional team to support, and college is the next best thing.

Level 45

Jun 5, 2019

I feel like if you put raiders, you should get all of the "raiders" teams (e.g. middle tenn. blue raiders, texas tech red raiders, etc.). This could apply to quite a few names.

And if Irish is accepted for "fighting irish", shouldn't "bulldogs" be accepted for "runnin' bulldogs"?

Level 47

Jan 18, 2020

LIU - Brooklyn has merged their athletics with LIU - Post to just become the Long Island Sharks. Liberty is now part of the Atlantic Sun conference. North Alabama Lions are now part of the Atlantic Sun, Merrimack Warriors are part of the Northeast and California Baptist Lancers are part of the Western Athletic.

Level 86

Mar 26, 2020

NC State is Wolfpack - no space

Level 79

Dec 24, 2020

Pretty sure LIU went from the Blackbirds to the Sharks. Not sure where you got Knights from.

Also, a number of new schools have joined the DI ranks (Merrimack Warriors, Bellarmine Knights, Dixie State Trailblazers, Tarleton Texans, and UC San Diego Tritons).

Level 73

Jan 25, 2021

30 minutes, 3 points :o

Level 64

Jan 26, 2021

Actually got Bears second to last because I recognized Morgan State...

Because I saw Army beat them 65-0 in person. (In football)

Level 62

Mar 30, 2021

*Texas - Rio Grande Valley

Level 62

Aug 31, 2021

Long Beach State is the Beach, no longer the 49ers.

Level 39

Dec 8, 2021

Valparaiso is no longer the Crusaders they are now the "Beacons"

Level 79

Sep 6, 2022

New teams coming in 2022:

Lindenwood Lions (Ohio Valley)

Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles (Ohio Valley)

Stonehill Skyhawks(Northeast)

Texas A&M Commerce Lions (Southland)

Also, I'm pretty sure Dixie State has changed its name to Utah Tech.

Level 58

Oct 7, 2022

UCSD is the Tritons, not the Toreros.

Level ∞

Oct 7, 2022

University of San Diego not UCSD.

Level 18

Feb 21, 2023

How do you make a quiz like this?

Level 87

May 24, 2023

George Washington will no longer be the Colonials, and instead change to the Revolutionaries.

Level 69

Sep 30, 2023

Update for realignment

Level 62

Oct 15, 2023

Texa - Rio Grande?

And Valpo is the beacons now.

Level 57

Jan 22, 2024

Great quiz, but I wish there were some shortened forms accepted, such as:

Huskers for Nebraska (Cornhuskers)

Gophers for Minnesota (Golden Gophers)

Raiders/Knights for all of the Color Raiders/Knights

Level 61

Mar 5, 2024

Oh this one desperately needs to be updated

Level 32

Oct 1, 2024

It pisses me off I have to put "Golden gophers" for Minnesota....No one calls them that. Why not accept "Gophers"....you don't make us put "fighting" in front camels or Irish.
