On our other blog, in honor of March Madness (for those of you in Latvia and Peru this is the time of year when American college basketball teams try to win both their conference and national tournament), we are dedicating an entry to teams with fowl nicknames since we are more or less addicted to the video game/computer app Angry Birds. as are 2.4 billion people around the world.
Not all of these teams are going to the NCAA tournament, which will have pairings announced on Sunday, but both the Kansas Jayhawks and the Temple Owls (pictured here) are going to be in the tournament. In fact, Kansas may get a number one seed.
The other school pictured here is the Southern Utah Thunderbirds which have a fairly competitive women's gymnastics program.
Here are the teams; there are three schools from Ohio on the list:
1. Elon Phoenix, Big South, Elon, NC.
2. Hartford Hawks, American East, Hartford, Conn.
3. Jacksonville State Gamecocks, Ohio Valley, Jacksonville, Ala.
4. Kansas Jayhwaks. Big 12. Lawrence, Kan.
5. Kent State Golden Flashes, Mid-America Conference, Kent, Ohio.
6. Loyola (Ca.) Lions. West Coast Conference. Los Angeles, Calif.
7. Miami (Ohio) Redhawks. Mid-America Conference. Oxford, Ohio.
8. Oral Roberts Golden Eagles. Summit League. Tulsa, Okl.
