Cornell - Colgate football

I think it was more underhand than sidearm - kinda like a slapshot from the point.  He hit a Dartmouth goaltender in the ankle with it and took him out of the game on old Lower Alumni Field.  The grass still won't grow along the tracks of his shots there, that building notwithstanding.

Yes, I stand corrected.  Orr's underhand shot was like a Larry Fullen slap shot - hard and really low.

Fighting Scots is okay but not Fighting Sioux, apparently.

I assume it's Monmouth, NJ, alma mater of one of the Jersey Shore cast, IINM.  (Or it might have been the girlfriend in "Clerks." )

They'll score 36 on us; at the same time.

I believe Miles Austin of the Cowboys went to Monmouth as well.

I think 'Fighting Scots' falls into the same category as 'Fighting Irish' - you are referencing the origins of the school, not "honoring" another culture. Elon, formerly the 'Fightin' Christians,' changed their mascot to the Phoenix but not under duress, and I'm not aware of any Dutch organization that wanted to see Hofstra change its name to the Pride. See also, "Quakers" by some school I can't recall.

I'm all for Penn being the Fighting Quakers. Maybe at least their Ultimate Frisbee team.

One of my favorite oxymorons.

I agree. "Ultimate" and "Frisbee" are total opposites. :-D

I was in New Mexico last week and was thinking exactly the same thing as I passed by one of the Scot reservations and reminisced about playing Cowboys and Scots as a child. ::deadhorse::
