Why are the  Pittsgurgh Pitates called the "Bucks"?

The Team's Name\nThe original name of the Pittsburgh's National League franchise was the Pittsburgh Alleghenies. Some contend this is from the county in which Pittsburgh is the seat of government. Others say that it was named after the mountain range in the region. Others maintain that Allegheny, Pennsylvania, which became Pittsburgh's northside after a 1907 annexation, was the tale behind the moniker. It is also one of the three major rivers in the city. In the 1890's, the club was referred to as the Pittsburgh Innocents before the Pirates name stuck by the end of that decade.\n\nWhen the renegade Players League dissolved after the 1890 season, most of the league's player contracts were assigned to National League and American Association clubs, mostly to their previous clubs provided they had been "reserved" by their former teams' owners. Highly-regarded second baseman Lou Bierbauer, who had previously played with the Philadelphia Athletics of the Association, was awarded to the Pittsburgh team on the grounds that the A's had not reserved him. This led to loud complaints by the Athletics that the Pittsburgh club were "pirates". This incident (which is discussed at some length in The Beer and Whisky League, by David Nemec, 1994) quickly accelerated into a schism between the leagues that contributed to the demise of the A.A. The colorful epithet stuck with the Pittsburghers, and eventually became the club's official nickname. It was first acknowledged on the team's jerseys in 1912, but even by the 1903 World Series, "Pirates" was common usage \nThe Pirates are called the "Bucks" because a Pirate was also known as a Buccaneer.

I think they are referred to as "feral" hogs.  Check Michigan DNR for seasons, weapons, and permits.

Supposedly, the urine hunters put out, are from does in estrus/rut. \nSeems the bucks go wild, and come a runnin' \nIt must be something fantastic to them, but it sure stinks to me! Blah!\nWe used apple piles, and did some rubbing on the trees with them. It worked.

The chupacabra is a Latin American legend. It's name means "goat sucker," because it's supposed to be a creature that attacks goats and other farm animals in the middle of the night and sucks their blood. From the descriptions I've heard, it sounds something like a cross between a bat, a reptile and a monkey, but I'm sure that varies.

Cows are descended from a European species called the Aurock.  The last Aurocks were killed by board German soldiers during WWI.  They just felt like shooting something.

In the 1800"s the word became popular from the clan, "Chieftains", who ran protection rackets on farmers in Scottland.  Should a  Farmer  not pay their mail, old term used for rent,  Chieftain would steal their cattle and crops.  Since this was considered evil, it was considered,\n "Blackmail."

Dude I went and watched it on Youtube and that's driving me crazy too. All I can think of right now is Boulder, Colorado, but the buffalo is there. Somebody said it's a buckeye, but that's a freakin huge buckeye. So I guess that's it, cuz I don't know what else it'd be.

They were made in 1933 by the Rooney family. They were called the Pirates. After a couple years of that they changed their name to the Steelers, so people won't be confused about them or the baseball team. In the 1940 during the world wars. They were combined with the Eagles to make the Steagles. After that they were always known as the Steelers

Legend has it that the nickname dates back to the American Civil War. Supposedly, during a battle in Virginia, the North Carolinian troops held their ground while supporting troops retreated. After the battle, supporting troops asked the victorious North Carolinians: "Any more tar down in the Old North State, boys?" and they replied: "No, not a bit; old Jeff's bought it all up." The supporting troops continued: "Is that so? What is he going to do with it?" The North Carolinian troops' response: "He is going to put it on you'ns heels to make you stick better in the next fight."

I think that they should have been called the "tennessee Tuxedo's' after the cartoon penguin....but to answer your question...Titans in greek mythology were giants who ruled over the world before the greek gods, led by zeus, defeated them

Assclowns. I bet nobody else uses that name. Using a cool name like Assclowns has the added benefit that your school could sell MILLIONS of t-shirts featuring your mascot ... the Assclown. That would be awesome.
