Oh I remember the Blue Hose! Didn’t we play them in football a while back?
Legend has it they were named after the founder of the university strangled a hooker. The E was added after an uprising from the boosters.

It can be fairly argued that their prior (racist) name had nothing to do with chopping down trees, but if we're being honest, it kind of did because our forebearers (and current bearers) are cutting down the world.
