The University of
Toledo was founded in 1872 as the Toledo University of Arts and
Trades. The school closed in 1878 but re-opened in 1884 as the
Manual Training School. Eventually the Manual Training School was
renamed Toledo University. In 1967 Toledo University became a
state funded school and was re-named the University of Toledo.
-
Toledo' s sports teams
were originally know as the Blue and Gold Munies, although it was
not an official nickname. In 1923 a student working in the press
box at Toledo's football game against Carnegie Tech labeled the
team "Skyrockets" at the urge of Pittsburgh sports
writers. The sports writers shortened the name to
"Rockets" and thus the nickname was born. Attempts have
been made over the years to change the nickname to things like
Toreadors, Bulls, Commodores, Turtles, Bancroft Highwaymen, and
Jeeps. Of course the attempts failed. Personally, I think they should
change their name to the "Cross Dressing Klingers" in
honor of Toledo resident Jamie Farr or M.A.S.H. fame.
-
Toledo's mascot is
known as Rocky the Rocket. In the past he has been a rocket, but
currently he is a man in a racing helmet with a rocket pack. The
freaky looking wierdos running around UT games in gold hockey
masks and wigs are known as Rocket Fanatics and are an officially
recognized student spirit group.
