108/120. Disappointed in myself for missing Troy, quite possibly the most obvious name in the entire division.

That's just me though. I am sure you're correct about the Wildcat faithful.

I know my fiance doesn't have to go back til january 10th or something like that since the tide are playing in the NT game. Her dad scored a set of tickets to the game also and joked about taking me.

Kind of a tangent, but I saw a chart of academic progress rates and Miami has actually moved to near the very top in the country and are significantly ahead of Florida. I didn't see that one coming at all.

FCS time. This is challenging.
PIM King...having to come up with Golden Bears instead of BEars is part of the fun. I love nicknames with adjectives!
41/125 for me http://www.sporcle.com/games/fcsnicknames.php
I didn't even get all of the Big Sky schools! Horrible.

Academically stating UM is one of the best schools out there. They are private and are very very good. I dont have respect for the 5k fans that watch em play a week when they have a million of fans on message boards.
Florida has had their fare share of bonehead mistakes for about the last 4 years too I'm not denying that. I just hated UM football with a passion

OK. Don't really know what you would call them and I'm not really sure why it matters.

What? You don't know what you would call them? Call what? Names? nicknames?
A name is a formal term given for a person or team. A nickname is a name given in addition to the formal name.
Canadiens, Habs. Michigan Stadium, Big House. Vancouver Canucks, diving pansies.
Not sure if that still isn't clear enough.
Oh, and it doesn't matter, just the guy who made that sporcle quiz mislabeled them nicknames instead of names.

OK. Were you confused on what to do with the quiz? I wasn't. Nobody else seems to be.
Sorry if you were confused, I thought it was self explanatory.

Listen man I don't know what your deal is and why you are so sensitive about this.
No one is confused. Furthermore even if anyone was I don't think it requires you to act like a ######bag. I'm really sorry that you get offended by comments on a quiz that you posted but you really need to not let random posts bother you this much.
I was only pointing out that name equals not nickname.

Man, I was just confused as to why you would even ask the question.

I'm just not sure what you are asking of me. I'm really proud of you and the other posters who weren't confused. That is great for you guys. I'm not sure what that has to do with nicknames not being names though. I didn't even do the quiz, I could care less about all 120 college football teams.
All I did was point out that a name is not the same as a nickname. Is that ok with you?
You are aware that there is a difference between a name and a nickname? Yes? I thought so.
That is all. Names are not nicknames.
I just don't know why you keep quoting me.

Just wow.
I apologize for thinking that since you asked a question about something you were actually interested. My bad.
You are one touchy individual.
As for your strange angst over the use of the term nickname, maybe (for example) Harvard is the name and Crimson is the nickname?
