Did you know (Wisconsin Badgers)...

[Gobbla2001]

Though the mascot at the games is the animal version of a badger, the athletic teams were named 'Badgers' because of miners who 'burrowed' into the ground...

So the mascot is actually a human being...

neato...

I lucked out with this one... got home yesterday and turned on the tv for a while and they had a deal on the travel channel about college towns and their attatchment to their football teams...

They showed Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Georgia, Penn State and Texas...
