Besides, how can you not like an athletic conference that includes the Lord Jeffs, the Ephs, the Jumbos, the Camels, the White Mules, the Continentals, and the Polar Bears?

Side note #1 : For those who do not know, the Tufts University teams are known as the "Jumbos". This comes from their founding based on a major grant from P.T. Barnum (yes, of circus fame).

Side note #2 : It is not unusual to see the school newspaper with sports headlines such as "Jumbo Women Roll Over Competition in <Your Sport Here>".
