Leathernecks vs Westerwinds[edit]

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?[edit]

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]

Only school with military mascot[edit]

The Xavier Musketeers might have something to say about that. Wschart (talk) 21:45, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
