Quizzing my middle school students

Coach · October 8, 2004

I was giving a quiz to my middle school P.E. classes today and I put two extra credit questions at the end. What college did Coach Switzer attend? What is the unique team name of that school's teams?

Now, I had told them all I went to North Texas because they all asked a million times. But I didn't expect them to know the second one really, so I wore my Mean Green t-shirt (I never wear t-shirts to school) so they would see that and put two and two together. Apparently that was too much to ask. Out of the first 2 classes, only one got either question right. The 3rd class was better, but here were the best reponses:

Mean Green College

Texas A&M Stars

Texas Oxen

Texas A&M Longhorns

Buzzzz Bees

TCU Nose

Harvard Harvey J

Texas University Penguins

Cows

Kids can be pretty funny

It was classic when at the end of the quiz in all the classes and they asked what the answers were, I pointed to my shirt and told them I gave them a pretty big clue. The collective groan and slapping of heads was entertaining.

I wish I could be a Harvard Harvey J

Texas University Penguins

I'll admit, I tried to get into this school. North Texas was a VERRRRRRY distant second to my beloved Penguins.

Not many people know this, but for two years, Coach was Chilly Willy, the beloved mascot of the TU Pillaging Penguins.

The football games were very hot, but the best memory was the basketball tournament where there was a mascot free for all between me, the rival Texas Ox, and the hated TCU Nose. The Harvard Harvey J tried to step in after we took it a little too far so I hit him over the head with the possesion arrow. Good times.

Alot of people ask, "what is a Harvey J"?

That's just the "hip" nickname the Harvard student body came up with for thier real Harvey mascot, Herve Villechaize:

Seriously. He's a pimp mascot.

That photo is pretty much how the fight I described ended. It's also how all the mascot retreats to Six Flags ended when he wasn't allowed to go on the Shockwave.
