I wouldn't NOW

I mean it may have also been that we were the "purple pounders" and that's the worst team name everywhere. we didn't even have a mascot because wtf would it be, a dick? An anthropomorphized hammer/anvil? we had an unofficial mascot group called the "barrel boys" which was like four or five shirtless dudes who painted themselves purple and wore road barrels they stole and cut the tops out of and put suspenders on them. Didn't really encourage like a super amount of school pride.
