This entire list happened accidentally, after a discussion over exactly how many Canadian Football Teams are nicknamed the "Rough Riders" led me to Googling that phrase... which led me to the first entry on this list... which led to the entire list.

  1. Theodore Roosevelt (Washington, D.C.) High School Rough "Ryders"

Good list!
