What ls A Torero? The Uni versity of San Diego, whi ch sponsors sixteen NCAA Di vision I

intercoll egiate teams, competes under the athletic nickname ofToreros. In 196 1, the Most Reverend Bishop Buddy, the fo unding fa th er of USO, announced that the school's ni ckname would change from Pioneers to Toreros. ''The name Toreros is keeping with the fri endl y relati onship which ex ists between San Diego and Mexico," Hi s Exce llency sa id at the time. Torero comes from the spani sh tem1 taro, the bull, and from the word torear, to fi ght bulls. All of the contestants in the ring are ca ll ed toreros. Torero is a genera l term describing a bullfighter and signifies courage, honor and fi delity. USO student-athl etes, like the Torero, represent a willingness to stand alone in the ring and accept th e chaHenge. The 2000-200 I sc hoo l yea r mark s the 40th anniversary with Toreros as the offi cial ni ckname fo r USO athletic teams.
