By A Customer

This review is from: The College Names of the Games: The Stories Behind the Nicknames of 293 College Sports Teams (Paperback)

Ever wondered why in the world a college calls their athletes their particular nickname? With this book you will never wonder again! In this well-reasearched guide, Lessiter "left no stone unturned" and spoke with the Sports Information folks at every single Division I school to find out about the orign of each school's nickname(s). Small school or large, perpetual top 25 ranked team or cellar-dweller, they are all here for your reference and enlightenment. Several enjoyable drawings are sprinkled throughout the text.
