March Madness is right around the corner and it’s time for fans, students and alumni to step up and support their favorite school. Throughout the country hard-core fans are starting to set up college fan polls in offices and online with friends and co-workers.
Last years Final Four teams were The University of Kansas Jayhawks, The University of North Carolina Tarheels, Louisville Cardinals and the Memphis Tigers.
The University of Kansas is located in Lawrence, Kansas and has a student population of approximately 30,000! The University mascot is the Jayhawk, said to be a hybrid of the noisy Blue Jay and the stealthy Hawk. Whatever the combination, this mascot proved to be the bearer of good luck in 2008 as the Kansas Jayhawks won the 2008 national title.
The University of North Carolina, located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and current student enrollment is approximately 28,000. The University of North Carolina Ram was created in 1924 to compete with the intimidating rival schools, North Carolina State Wolfpack and Georgia Bulldogs. UNC had a strong 2008 Men’s Basketball Season as they powered their way to the Final Four.
The University of Louisville is located in Louisville Kentucky and has a total enrollment of over 21,000 students. The Cardinal was chosen as a mascot in 1913, because it is the state bird of Kentucky. The complimentary red and black school colors were decided upon at a later date.
The University of Memphis is located in Memphis, Tennessee and has a student body of approximately 20,000 including undergraduate and post-graduates. For 35 years the Memphis Mascot has been a live Bengal Tiger. Tom III the current mascot attends all home football games and select campus events.
The 2009 season is still developing and Championship dreams are still alive for many of the Div 1 schools. Visit my directory of NCAA college fan merchandise to support your favorite team as they compete to be the 2009 Champion!
