My favorite one is still UC santa Barbara Banana Slugs.

My alma mater is UCSB, and we were the Gauchos (which is either an Argentinian cowboy or a peanut butter cookie).

You're thinking of the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs.  Great name.

Grayshirting, as I have seen it, is an insidious little device used to keep a player in a system until he is needed.  Normally, a grayshirt has to take a part-time academic load, so not only is he not a player, he's not really a student, either.   It's redshirting by another name, except that the grayshirt has very little leverage with the program.  He's neither fish nor fowl.
