TOREROS DEFINED...

The University of San Diego, which sponsors sixteen NCAA Division I intercollegiate teams, competes under t he athletic nickname 'Toreros.' In 1961,the Most Reverend Bishop Buddy, the founding father of USD, announced that the school's nickname would change from Pioneers to Toreros."The name Toreros is keeping with the friendly relationship which exists between San Diego and Mexico," His Excellency said at the t ime. Torero comes from the Spanish term 'Toro'. the bull, and from the word 'Torear,' to fight bulls.All of the contestants in t he ring are ca lled 'Toreros.'Torero is a general term describing a bullfighter and signifies courage, honor and fidelity.USD student-athletes, like the Torero, represent a willing– ness to stand alone in the ri ng and accept the challenge. The 2005-06 school yea r marks the 45 th season wit h Toreros as the official nickname for USD ath letic teams.
