<br />

I was wondering what CGNU's mascot<br />

is, and if they have any sports teams.<br />

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, we got a mascot, Ike. Unfortunately, The Cheat, Strong Mad, and I were ''really'' hungry when we decided on a name. So, uh, all we came up with was the Crazy Go Nuts University Dumples. I think maybe we meant dumplings? But we were really hungry and tired and sorta confused and ended up putting Dumples on the application. We do have a sports team, though. The Golf Club Team. We have a game every day at 6pm!

== Fun Facts ==
+
-
===Trivia===
+
-
*The Pile of Electronics State team has a TV, [[Mrs. Bennedetto]] ([[Marzipan]]'s microwave), a [[Wikipedia:Panasonic|Panasonic]] RQ-830S [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Track]] player (also referred to as "The Plunger" or "TNT" style), and a [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]].
+
-
*References to [[wikipedia:valor|valor]] are common in the lyrics of college [[wikipedia:fight song|fight songs]] and [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=alma+mater&x=17&y=12 alma maters]. Valor is [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=valor defined] as the strength of mind or spirit that enables a person to encounter danger with firmness.
+

+
-
===Remarks===
+
-
*"run 'fightsong'" is the syntax for executing a program on the [[Tandy 400]].
+
-
*Although The Cheat never hits the NES, it still breaks as though it were hit.  The way he broke the glass on Mrs. Bennedetto wouldn't crush an NES.
+
-
*This is the first time Coach Z says The Cheat instead of The Chort.
+
-
*The notes for the fight song are<br><br>C A F G F D A# G G G F E F G C A F G F D A# G G G F E F<br><br>Proper musical notation dictates that "A#" (A-sharp) should be written as "Bb" (B-flat) since the song is in the [[Wikipedia:Major_scale|key]] of F Major, which has one flat and no sharps.<br><br>The incorrect notation is due to a limitation of older music programs which could only parse flats if they were entered as the corresponding sharp.
+
-
*When The Cheat holds up the card(s) "SEE" "GEE" "IN" and "YOU", he just flips the same card over and over. That would be physically impossible because there are only 2 sides to the card but 4 words.
+
-
 
+
-
===Glitches===
+
-
*The "application" easter egg is accessible when the "really hungry and tired" easter egg is (before Strong Bad actually types "application").
+
-
*The notes for the fight song do not play the notes when rolled over in Linux, instead they make some kind of weird sounds instead.
+
-
 
+
-
===Inside References===
+
-
*When Strong Bad says, "A little email never hurt nobody. 'Cept for maybe The Cheat," he may be referring to [[little animal]] or [[huttah!]].
+
-
*The "really hungry and tired" easter egg looks very similar to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat's postition at the beginning of [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]].
