Leathernecks vs Westerwinds

Latest comment: 16 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Leathernecks are the men's teams, and Westerwinds are the women's teams; is a Western Illinois Westerwinds article likewise warranted? -Seinfreak37 19:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Warranted I think so, provided apporpriate references can be created. If not that, then at least mention of the matter in this article or on the school article page.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:52, 12 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fighting Leathernecks?

The List of NCAA Division I institutions lists the athletic team name for Western Illinios' men's teams as "Fighting Leathernecks." Is this correct? MightyHunter9 (talk) 18:52, 25 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
