TOREROS DEFINED

~ ~

I

< The University ofSan Diego, which sponsors sixteen NCAA Division I t intercollegiate teams, competes under the athletic nickname ofToreros. In 1961 , the Most Reverend Bishop Buddy, the found ing fatherofUSD , announced that the school's nickname would change from Pioneers to Toreros. "The name Toreros is keeping with the friendly relationshi p which ex ists between San Diego and Mexico," His Excellency said at the time. Torero comes from the Spanish term toro, the bu ll , and from the word torear, to fight bulls. All of the contestants in the ring are ca lled toreros. Torero is a general term describing a bullfighter and signifies courage, honor and fidelity. USO student-athletes, li ke the Torero, represent a willingness to stand alone in the ring and accept the chaIlenge. C

The 2005-2006 school year marks the 45th anniversary with Toreros as the official nickname for USO athletic teams.
