So I'm familiar with land grant schools--like NCSU.) That reminds me...there is a private high school in SC whose mascot is the Barons. This strikes me as funny, as if they have a rich person as a mascot. Or maybe a dollar bill. <BR/><BR/>Oh Jenn, we are quite familiar with the Blue Devils in the Carolinas. The Duke Blue Devils that is. Boo. (Sorry Duke fans.) But are you Southern Cal?<BR/><BR/>Stitchin, that is too funny! The Red Bugs! At least it's not the Fire Ants.
