College Nicknames Not Ending in “S”

Here’s a neat trivia question for you.  Of the 119 Division-1 college football teams, name those who do not have nicknames ending in “s”?

1. Tulane Green Wave
2. Navy Midshipmen
3. Alabama Crimson Tide
4. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
5. North Carolina State Wolfpack
6. Nevada-Reno Wolfpack
7. Tulsa Golden Hurricane
8. Stanford Cardinal
9. Syracuse Orange
10. Illinois Fighting Illini
11. Marshall Thundering Herd
12. North Texas Mean Green

And, an honorable mention goes to Auburn War Eagle (aka Tigers).

Thinking of some others that do not play Division 1 college football.  There’s three in the Ivy League alone:  Harvard Crimson; Dartmouth Big Green; Cornell Big Red.  There’s also UMass Minutemen, St. John’s Red Storm, North Dakota State Bison, North Dakota Fighting Sioux, William & Mary Tribe, Hofstra Pride, and the Phoenix of both Elon and Wisconsin-Green Bay.
