Right. Just like the U of M WEASELS, Arkansas PIGS, or Concordia Ann Arbor BIRDS. Even better, "We're the fighting Reptiles of Maryland" because turtles are REPTILES!!!
Or best yet (according to the vast logic of Mrs. Elizabeth Lee) ... We're the proud University of Maryland Ectotherms.
Yes, I like it ... MARYLAND ECTOTHERMS, terror of the Atlantic Coast Conference!
Andy did agree with my vast logic last night when I calmly explained to him that my turtle logic was right...you wouldn't say I'm going to go eat vanilla ice cream every time you were going to eat ice cream...you would just say I'm going to eat some ice cream. Because all ice cream is ice cream no matter the flavor. Which I told him is why you can call terrapins turtles. You don't go around all the time saying hey...look at that big terrapin...no you say look at that big turtle. Sigh..yes..point proven.
