Download or read book Billikens, Boilermakers, and Banana Slugs written by Greg Metzer and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most fans of college athletics have heard of the Indiana Hoosiers, the Georgetown Hoyas, or the St. Louis Billikens. But what exactly are Hoosiers, Hoyas, and Billikens? Where did these nicknames originate? For more than a century, collegiate athletes have proudly competed with these and other names on their uniforms, and neither they nor the fans who so robustly cheered them on had the slightest clue what the moniker meant. The answers lie within this interesting and informative book. Author Greg Metzer has provided all the answers in ""Billikens, Boilermakers, and Banana Slugs,"" his follow-up to Rock Band Name Origins. Metzer has scoured the archives of collegiate athletics to uncover the meaning and origin of 160 university monikers. Many are immediately recognizable, such as the Fighting Irish, Cornhuskers, or Nittany Lions. Many are unique, like Boxers or Pride. Some are just downright silly, including the Fighting Okra and Banana Slugs. Regardless, each nickname has an origin that is part of the history of its respective university. Metzer takes you through each one alphabetically, from the Air Force Academy to Youngstown State, including every major American university�with one notable exception. See if you can find it. This cleverly written historical abstract is sure to entertain and educate the reader, whether a sports fan or not. You will never look at college athletics the same way again after you read ""Billikens, Boilermakers, and Banana Slugs.""

Book Synopsis Indian Spectacle by : Jennifer Guiliano
Download or read book Indian Spectacle written by Jennifer Guiliano and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid controversies surrounding the team mascot and brand of the Washington Redskins in the National Football League and the use of mascots by K–12 schools, Americans demonstrate an expanding sensitivity to the pejorative use of references to Native Americans by sports organizations at all levels. In Indian Spectacle, Jennifer Guiliano exposes the anxiety of American middle-class masculinity in relation to the growing commercialization of collegiate sports and the indiscriminate use of Indian identity as mascots. Indian Spectacle explores the ways in which white, middle-class Americans have consumed narratives of masculinity, race, and collegiate athletics through the lens of Indian-themed athletic identities, mascots, and music. Drawing on a cross-section of American institutions of higher education, Guiliano investigates the role of sports mascots in the big business of twentieth-century American college football in order to connect mascotry to expressions of community identity, individual belonging, stereotyped imagery, and cultural hegemony. Against a backdrop of the current level of the commercialization of collegiate sports—where the collective revenue of the fifteen highest grossing teams in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has well surpassed one billion dollars—Guiliano recounts the history of the creation and spread of mascots and university identities as something bound up in the spectacle of halftime performance, the growth of collegiate competition, the influence of mass media, and how athletes, coaches, band members, spectators, university alumni, faculty, and administrators, artists, writers, and members of local communities all have contributed to the dissemination of ideas of Indianness that is rarely rooted in native people’s actual lives.
