COLLEGE SPORTS TRIVIA...

[Q.]

I suck at it. Help me out, please!

Name the four colleges whose names are colors. The school name, not the mascot.

[Coach Dan]

Auburn
Brown

[Kaiser]

Do you mean team names or college names?

If team names, then the University of Chicago Maroons.

[FishrCutB8]

Sienna

Navy

[bkred]

So the answer is Auburn (Otherwise known as the school that is relieved they don't have to play USC), Brown, Navy, and Siena.

Some other colleges that have colors in their names:

Black Hills State University (SD)
Blue Mountain College (MS)
Bowling Green State University (OH)
Golden Gate University (CA)
Green Mountain College (VT)
John Brown University (AR)
Mount Olive College (NC)

Just curious, where is Sienna? And, what does the color Sienna look like?

[bkred]

There's a Sienna College in New York, and a Sienna Heights University in Michigan. Neither made a bowl game this year.

If I remember my crayon box correctly Sienna is brown.

if you had the same crayon box i did, it was called "burnt sienna"
and was a rusty brown!

[jruck37]

Neither made a bowl because neither is D-1. I'm almost positive that Sienna Heights isn't even D-2.

[bkred]

I think it was "burnt sienna". The crayola master probably left the brown on the stove a bit long one day and a new crayon appeared.

Sienna is one of those schools that pops up on the basketball schedules of better known schools early in the season.
