August West raised an interesting question ....

.....during the Buffalo game. If the men's team is called the Bulls, what are the women called? You can't yell "Let's go Cows!"

Do Buffalo fans yell "That's bullshit!" at every turnover?

The University of South Florida here in Tampa is also the Bulls. The women are the 'Lady Bulls'....which makes no sense but safer than calling them 'cows'

Wait, people from Kansas don't talk that way. But, of course, I've got no beef with it either.

Are you going to rescue it, or get one from a breeder?

That's a good goal because I believe you'd have great difficulty raising a Holstein...

Wouldn't the women's teams be called heifers rather than cows?

I think Heifers might be more technically correct. (Yes, I grew up on a cattle farm.)

I've always wondered about the University of Delaware. I think their men's teams are the Blue Hens. Shouldn't they be the Roosters? Or the Cocks? :9f:

This reminds me of my most local DI school. They use Dons for the men and Lady Dons for the women. I suppose in that case that using Donnas for the women does not make USF seem that intimidating.
