The lyrics to Wilson's fight song do not appear to be online, which is really too bad because I say, I say, I say I was contemplating making a few edits.

I mean, they almost scored half as many right?

RMC host Scranton tomorrow night.  Scranton are the Royals.  Whats a Royal you ask, well thats a good question



That's Iggy, he's pretty clearly a wolf and not just any wolf, he's a pretty bad ass skateboarding, thats for sure not soda in that can, playing pranks on you kind of wolf.  However, Iggy seems to have grown up recently and lost the mohawk



I think we need to demand old Iggy.


Anyway a Royal is apparently a wolf of some kind, think they missed a chance to use Prince Charles, he was basically a mascot for 50+ years wasn't he?

[kiko]

Scranton are the Royals.

Well at least their their fight song is online.  Not sure this pumps up the crowd, but they're in the tournament and I'm not, so what do I know?  Maybe they sing the chorus at opponents who make the walk of shame after fouling out.

[NEPAFAN]

Fun fact, before Iggy ...was the Royal Rooster.

Oswego St  74 Randolph-Macon 63  F

I tried I really did but a search for Oswego's mascot turned up nothing but 404 file not found errors.  The good news is Whitewater being the D3 power they are in football and apparently basketball must surely have a fearsome mascot, especially being known as the Warhawks.

Meet Willy?


Willy the Warhawk, not what I was expecting, I mean it is what I was expecting but Willy?.

now, THIS is something named Willy



Final step to Ft. Wayne.

The Belt^TM does come with its own snowblower, doesn't it? That's a must if It^TM is going to reside in Oswego, NY for any length of time.

Also, since The Belt^TM has never taken up residence on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario, and has spent most of the season lounging around Virginia, It^TM may need a translator (or Siri at a minimum), based upon the inability of the RMC play-by-play man last night to pronounce "Oswego" properly.

Whitewater 77 Oswego St. 74  F

The Belt^Tm has elected to bring the Warhawks along to the Final Four in Ft. Wayne.  Whitewater will play Mt. Union in a match-up I'm sure has never taken place in any sport for either school ever.

Mt. Union are known as the Purple Raiders, being a D3 school with such a generic sounding nickname they've chose to go with a bird as their official mascotc because why not everyone else is a bird.  Ladies and gentlemen I give you the hilariously named  MUcaw

Oswego St  74 Randolph-Macon 63  F

I tried I really did but a search for Oswego's mascot turned up nothing but 404 file not found errors. 

Although they came up short tonight, Oswego's team name is the [Great] Lakers. 

I guess they've tried - but kind of hard to have a mascot that bears any resemblance to a 1,000 foot long ship.

BTW LA Lakers do not have a mascot either. Laker name came from their days in Minnesota.

[Gregory Sager]

The mascot for any Oswego team should be a snow shovel.

Second that.  Come on Greg, I'm sure you have upgraded to snow blower by now.

As we say in Chicago whenever there's yardwork or handyman labor to be done, "I gotta guy."
