McDaniel (formerly Western Maryland College) College's Green Terror
(Reader Contribution to 10 Weirdest College Mascots)
Even the mascot has its origins in legend. No one is quite sure of when the name ?Green Terror? was first used, but the first known appearance in print is in the Western Maryland College Monthly, released October 15, 1923. The name was used in describing the play of a hard-fought loss on the gridiron to Washington and Lee. Some tales have it as a name applied by the players wearing the Generals uniform to describe their opponent, yet others credit the phrase to coach D.K. Shroyer, who used it as an attempt to fire up his sullen troops. There is also a suggestion that a Lexington sportswriter used the moniker in his account of the game, while another school of thought holds alumnus W. Wilson Wingate, who wrote for the Baltimore Sun, accountable for the name.
