"How did Your JC get its team name?"

Posted: 01/10/2013 1:06 PM

"How did Your JC get its team name?" 

It’s a very long time ‘til next September.  So I thought this question might be fun in getting us through the withdrawals of no games.

Bakersfield College “Renegades”

According to Ms Jerri Ludke, Bakersfield College Archive Director…..


…. During the 1922 season, Bakersfield was playing Santa Barbara State at the Kern County Fairgrounds, and at the game was a bunch of Kern County High School football players sitting in the stands giving the BC players a bad time by rooting for Santa Barbara State.  Among the derogatory remarks heard was

“you damn renegades, you’re no good”

the next week, morris chain, a left halfback for bakersfield suggested the name renegades at a team meeting.  they agreed, and the moniker “renegades” was born. the name was never officially adopted until 1937

there is a back story about the “renegade Knights” but it has been buried by Scout.com in their archives.

Who’s next?

And if they had called you damn asses . . . Then you would have been the BC Mules?

Mounties?

Have no idea, Mt Sac began ~1947 . . . Might want to ask Mountieman but unfortunately he is banned from this site . . .

Took the advise from my fellow blogger, NCoast65, and contacted Mountieman . . . It seems Mt San Antonio College, a hospital facility before 1947, sits at the base of the San Gabriel Valley Mountains. On a clear winter day, one can see a beautiful snow-capped Mt Baldy . . . Thus, the view of looking at this mountain inspired someone to come up with the name "Mounties", the campus sits at the base of a continuous mountain range . . .

I think the original logo for Bakersfield was based on the great illustrator Frank Frazetta's work on the book "Outlaw from Torn", which was written by Edgar Rice Burroughs of Tarzan fame......


Frazetta was an awesome fantasy illustrator from Brooklyn. He worked with many comic book writers and fantasy novelists and turned down lucrative positions at places like Disney. I believe he passed away a couple of years ago.

I thought it was that hill overlooking the stadium where the homecoming queen nominees can often be seen grazing.

When this young lady first enrolled at Mt Sac, she was one attractive gal, but as you know JJ, when she started hanging around the goons from Mt Sac, she began dating Cheeseburger Eddie, and as the name says, she indeed had one too many cheeseburgers . . .

LMAO, That's funny stuff right dare!
Good to see JJ hasn't completely lost his sense of humor.

By the way, what's the story on the Tigers?
