A few years ago,maybe even last year, Bradley University played the University of Pittsburgh in the NCAA basketball tourney and was called the Brad Pitt game.The little scoreboard in the corner of the TV said  
BRAD 35 PITT 32

Have you seen (or are hoping to see)other games with funny results when the names are paired up?

I’m waiting for South Carolina to play Oregon State, because then we’d have a Cocks-Beavers matchup.

The Topeka High School mascot is the Trojans, and there is also a Seaman High School in Topeka. So I always get a little giggle whenever Seaman goes up against the Trojans.
