Why is UTSA called the Roadrunners? Explaining nickname amid NCAA baseball tournament
Why is UTSA called the Roadrunners? Explaining nickname amid NCAA baseball tournament Show Caption Hide Caption 5 men's NCAA baseball tournament players to watch The Mongomery Advertiser's Adam Cole and The Tennesseean's Aria Gerson break down the top players to watch in the men's NCAA baseball tournament. Beep, beep! That's the sound Texas baseball heard last weekend as UTSA entered the Austin Regional and walked away with the title over the weekend in Austin, Texas, to advance to the super regional round of the NCAA baseball tournament. That, of course, is because the University of Texas at San Antonio has one of the most unique nicknames in college baseball. UTSA will take on No. 15 national seed UCLA in the Los Angeles Super Regional over the weekend hoping to build on what is already the deepest run in the Roadrunners' postseason history. REQUIRED READING: NCAA baseball tournament bracket: Super regional matchups, schedule, pairings for CWS Here's what you need to know about why UTSA is nicknamed the Roadrunners and the history of the nickname: What is a roadrunner? A roadrunner is "born to run," according to the online bird guide All About Birds. The Greater Roadrunner "can outrace a human, kill a rattlesnake and thrive in the harsh landscapes of the Desert Southwest." According to All About Birds, it typically inhabits open country, particularly arid grasslands and low deserts. Its range extends as far north and west as northern California and has extended eastward into Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. It preys on lizards, snakes, mice and birds. The animal was made famous by its characterization by Warner Bros. cartoon in the form of the "Road Runner," as featured in the show "Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner." Why is UTSA called the Roadrunners? According to the UTSA website, the school held an election in 1977 to determine its school mascot. Other potential mascots under consideration included armadillos, stars, eagles, jaguars, puma, toro and vaquero. The names of armadillos and stars actually won the election, but due to a voided election, a second vote was forced. The roadrunner staged a surprising comeback and won the election to become the school's official mascot. It was introduced at a bonfire rally on Dec. 9, 1977, and officially announced on Dec. 12, 1977. Four years later, Antonio Gonzalez became the first student to wear the Roadrunner Mascot costume when he joined the cheerleaders in an attempt to pep up the crowd when the university launched its intercollegiate athletics program. On Nov. 24, 1981, the Roadrunner made its debut, "hatching" from an egg during a basketball pep rally. The name "Rowdy" for the mascot is believed to be from the "rowdy" nature of the university's spirit squad, according to the school's website. What is UTSA's mascot? Rowdy the Roadrunner has been the school's live human mascot since 1981. Roadrunner hand sign Here's how to show off your Roadrunner support during the NCAA baseball tournament, according to the school's website: Open your hand with your palm facing out and away from you then Curl your first three fingers toward the center of your palm, leaving your thumb and pinky fingers upright. Your thumb is the roadrunner's head and your pinky represents the tail.

James Hagens trying to block out the noise ahead of NHL Draft that could find him headed to hometown Islanders
'I think the first time I saw it was driving home from a workout and seeing someone's bumper sticker. It was pretty funny. Gives you a good smile, just tried to drive by,' said Hagens before he went through Saturday's physical testing at the NHL Scouting Combine. 'It's cool when you see something like that, when you see people on Long Island supporting it, it's special.' Advertisement Did he give the other driver a nod? 'No,' he said through laughter. 'I just tried to put my head down. I just drove by.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Related : Following a successful freshman year at Boston College, where the 5-foot-11-inch, 180-pounder collected 11 goals and 37 points in 37 games, Hagens is expected to be among the first players plucked at the draft June 27-28 in Los Angeles. He recently was ranked the No. 3 prospect on the Central Scouting Bureau's list of North American skaters. Hagens has consistently been on every prognosticator's Top 10 list throughout his hockey journey, from his youth days with the Long Island Royals through his time with the US National Team Development Program to his recent run at The Heights. Through all the rankings — preseason, midseason, and final — Hagens has tried to stay level headed. Ignoring the attention, however, is nearly impossible. Related : Advertisement 'I think you can't really let that stuff affect you. The best thing you can do is not look at it. We're kids, we're on our phones, so sometimes it will pop up,' said Hagens, who was able to play with his brother, Michael, at BC. 'I know I'm not worried about the media at all. I'm just worried about taking it day by day this season, worrying about my team, worrying about my grades, my classes at Boston College, my family. So, I guess that's all noise. You just have to make sure your head's in the moment and you're not looking at any of that stuff.' Jake O'Brien, another top forward prospect who is CSB's fourth-ranked North American skater, echoed Hagen's thoughts. 'I also try to stay out of it, try to stay off my phone kind of with that. It could get in your head if some people are saying some bad things about you or you're lower on people's draft [lists] and stuff,' he said. O'Brien, who plays for the OHL's Brantford Bulldogs, said his efforts to stay in the dark are sometimes sabotaged by friendly fire. Related : 'My team brings [the rankings] up a lot, which kind of sucks,' he said with a smile. 'They're always kind of telling me where I am on what list and everything. So that's one thing that sucks, but I try to stay out of it and stay motivated in every way.' Playing at BC, the Bruins brass got to see a lot of Hagens, who is undecided about whether he will return for another season with the Eagles. Advertisement Bruins director of scouting Ryan Nadeau was impressed with how Hagens came in and worked his way up to the top line, centering Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault, both of whom made the NHL jump after the NCAA Regionals. 'I get to see James quite a bit. We saw him a lot in previous years as well,' said Nadeau. 'He was a key component of the US National Team Development Program and a driver there and was able to step into Boston College and play on their top line with some really good players and watching him and the way he skates and the way he can attack open ice and the way he can create space and he's got such good skill and vision and he's such a good driver.' Related : Nadeau also likes what he sees from the 6-2, 170-pound O'Brien, who put up 32 goals and 98 points in 66 games for Brantford. 'He helped to drive the bus offensively for them. He's got a little bit of length. He's worked hard throughout the year in improving his skating. He's able to play both sides of the puck. He takes a lot of responsibility in the D-zone,' said Nadeau. 'His play has been really impressive, kind of plays a pretty mature game, but yet has some excitement offensively. He can really manipulate time and space. He tends to want to slow the game down a little bit because he's so good with the puck.' Jim McBride can be reached at
