Whiwater's student section is known as the Bleacher Creatures.....kind of dumb if you ask me. They have T-Shirts with it on it.

Trinity (TX) has a student section ... they're all at the library or in their dorm rooms hitting the books.  I doubt that many of the know or care that TU has a football team ... unless the school organizes their annual "free food on the grass" outside the stadium.  THEN a few of them wander into the stadium to see what's the fuss.

Even I took advantage of the free food when Redlands played there a couple of times.

Dumber still since UW-Madison has used Bleacher Creatures for three decades.

While I can't vouch for that statement (actually I have never heard that) I think the name "Bleacher Creatures" is more associated with the fans who currently occupy section 203 of the right field stands at Yankee Stadium (and before that, at old Yankee Stadium). If you've ever been to a game you know what I mean. The only names I've heard the Badger students referred to are the Grateful Red at the Kohl Center for Badger BB since the arrival of Bo Ryan or Mr. Bennett's Neighborhood during the time of Dick Bennett.

At Camp Randall during football games, UW-Madison students are commonly referred to as "LATE!"

Before the renovation that put suites on the east side of Camp Randall, there were flagpoles behind the student section that held a giant "Bleacher Creatures" banner. A similar banner was in the Fieldhouse/Kohl Center for basketball. They'd often print T-shirts with it too. It's kind of generic so I'm sure UW or any else didn't really invent it either. Maybe that usage has died since the banner is no longer there.
