Fun trivia subject. However, disappointed that my alma mater, Charles F Brush (So Euclid/Lyndhurst) didn't get a nod in the top 25. "ARCS", Arc light invented by CF Brush, is quite a unique nickname. That, plus the fact that arc lights were used to light Friday night football games for many years. Possibly "ARCS" made the "also mentioned" list. Enjoyed your article. Fun trivia subject.

I always thought the old "Big Blue" should have been The Rebels or The Confederates ( I could take that one further but Ara Parseghian or Big John Mullin may come after me), then you'd have the politically incorrect trifecta.
