Need college pros
Scentsy is having a contest - they're revealing new college themed warmers. Previously they only had U of Utah, Boise State, and BYU. Tell me if you know any of these colleges! I added my thoughts on which ones I think I know. Here are the clues to the new colleges that are being added to the lineup:
# 1
Everyone loves the underdog pulling off the stunning upset. In 2009, this school came in with a 15-game conference losing streak and beat the No. 3 ranked football team in the country by three points with a quarterback who may be the top draft pick in professional football next year.
# 2
Student basketball fans stand courtside, jump up and down, and cheer in unison from warm-ups to the final buzzer. These students have a wacky nickname and are considered by ESPN to be the ?rowdiest, wittiest, best-organized college basketball fans in the land.? - DUKE?
# 3
A famous and top ranked basketball school that recently hired its first African-American coach in a major sport, who is also the only black head football coach in the Big 12. - KANSAS?
#4
This University began classes in 1891 with no buildings, no books, and no curriculum. It now boasts a library that contains two million volumes. Dropped Agricultural and Mechanical (A&M) from its name in 1957, and is now known for strong basketball, football and rodeo programs. - OKLAHOMA STATE?
#5
The Mascot is a collie named Reveille. Fans sing a song at football games called the War Hymn that bids farewell to their hated rival in orange and white. - Texas A& M ?
#6
Called a "bold and hazardous undertaking" at the time, women were first admitted here in 1867. Women were admitted to all classes by 1871. The only school in the Big 12 that uses double ?ZZ?s? in its nickname. Univ. of Missouri?
#7
This school played Auburn in the now famous 'Earthquake' game, where the crowd was so loud it registered on a seismograph on campus. LSU? Karrey!!!
#8
Chief Osceola was born in Alabama as Billy Powell, son of an English trader. He is now most famous as the Mascot of this great University. Want to see a fan of this school cringe? Simply utter ?Wide Right?. Florida State?
#9
This university has more applicants than any other university in the United States. Their student athletes have won 125 national championships, including 104 team championships as of 2009, also more than any other university. A former basketball coach is a ?true blue? legend.
#10
The state?s oldest public university is located in Latah County. While there, be sure and experience the wonder of the Kibbie Dome and the beauty of Hello Walk. This well-travelled walkway requires you to say ?hello? to everyone you pass and boasts Administration Lawn, designed by the brothers who designed NYC?s Central Park. Univ. of Idaho?
#11
The Herd and fans of this University know and love popular Ralphie despite his large ego and big head. Before their current nickname, they were known as the ?Silver Helmets?. Interestingly, silver is still an official school color but now is almost never used. Univ. of Colorado (Go CU!)
#12
The only school on this list that is playing for a National Championship in football. Watch the game today at 6 pm on ESPN. The football team is undefeated and won the Brawl of the Wild before getting to the Championship game. Univ. of Miami??
Re: Need college pros
I would guess #9 is UCLA...
The former bball coach sounds like John Wooden.
Yup! N is a Bruin, and he always brags about all of their national championships (and blue is one of the colors)
These are my Dad's answers...
#1 Mississippi State
#2 Cameron Crazies @ Duke @ Cameron Indoor Arena
#3 Kansas hired Turner Gill
#4 Some school out west.
#5 Kentucky???
#6 Mizzou or Missouri
# 7 Alabama
# 8 Florida State Seminoles
# 9 Michigan
# 10 University of Idaho
# 11 University of Colorado
# 12 The University of Montana Griz
