You got me. I thought I was missing some. I knew it was 11. One is unofficial so someone other than Benson must try to find it. Darn you Plano people!

I was actually thinking NCAA D1 teams.....New D1 football team, Georgia Tech actually has two nicknames, Yellow Jackets and Ramblin' Wreck, so I guess you could count them.

Nah, can't really count GaTech. The "Ramblin Wreck" is more like Auburn's "War Eagle" type-thing. A "Ramblin Wreck" is what our students are called since that's what we're turned into at this place. Or it's a literal term for our football program.
