Me being from the great "Land of Opportunity", I will have to go with the Arkansas Razorbacks....theres nothing else quite like'em. Wooooooooo Pig Soooooie!

Also theres the "Fighting Okra" of Delta State in Mississippi. That's pretty cool.

There's nothing better than some of the great small college mascots and the history behind them.

Opportunity for what?

Brutus Buckeye. He's an original.
What about the Musketeers of West Virginia? Their mascot actually carries a weapon.

The most famous mascot job belongs to the Notre Dame guy though. He gets more airtime then the special teams guys.

Funny how great college mascots are. They actually represent something. Then you have pro-baseball mascots. What a waste (other than the Milwalkee guy, he's cool).

jmf1234

The expos mascot. YUOPPI or something like that. he's original. i dont even know what he is.

The San Antonio spurs mascot is a coyote. I always find that weird.

MikeyChalupa

Here's Youppi! (You have to use the exclamation point.)



I don't really have a favorite, the teams I'm a fan of don't NEED mascots. Can you imagine a Yankees mascot? I do however, HATE Mr. Met and Sparky, the New York Islanders mascot. Sparky actually is the mascot of the New York Dragons, an ARENA LEAGUE FOOTBALL TEAM. He just changes colors and jerseys for hockey season. Completely cheesy. But then, so are the Islanders.



Here's Sparky's stupid homepage:

That Texas Tech University horse that died by running into a wall during a game. (Not technically the mascot, but kinda.)
I was at that game. I sympathized.

teph

VirFighter, didn't know there were any Yellow Jackets in here other than myself. And yes, he is the best mascot around - even if our basketball and football teams just quit on him . . .

warrrreagl

What, no jokes about me being an Auburn TigerWarEaglePlainsman?

I have a coffee mug from Delta State, and it's a great conversation piece.

BTW, I once had a department head at Iowa State University named Sue E. Haug. As a Razorback, I thought you would appreciate that. (http://www.music.iastate.edu/faculty/haug/)

And dang, there goes another Arkansas running back for an 85 yard TD against Auburn......

Being a small but rebellious state the Gamecock is a good mascot because they will fight to the death.

agreed... VERY orginal... and rather queer... *laughing*

whatever you do... don't insult Brutus in any way shape or form when in the presence of a Buckeye fan... it'll get ugly...

trust me... *snickering*... i barely made it out alive...

Mario

University of Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, the mascot's name is Seymour.

He was in the running last year for the top college football mascot, came in the top 10 I think.

The fact that I will grad. from USM in August has nothing to do with my decision though.

The Ragin' Cajuns of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette has gotta be up there in terms of awesome.

And although it's not their official mascot, Dartmouth unveiled Keggy the Dartmouth Keg recently.

RHix613

I believe there is a minor league baseball team that uses a flying squarrel...

Originally this was posted in a thread about the strangest animals:

Don't know what a Hoya is, but I think it's short for Hoya Saxa, some Greek or Latin phrase, at leat I've seen buttons and Tshirts there that say that, and that was the best explanation I got.

My vote is for the Austin College kangaroos

wilbjammin

The Oregon Duck, of course!

I like that big orange ball for Syracuse just because it's one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"

djtestudo

Well, when you are the Orangemen, what else would you expect other then an orange?

How about that red blob from Western Kentucky or somthin' like that? I like that one too.

The Banana Slugs are from UC Santa Cruz.

jackblack2003

personally I'm a fan of any team that has a pirate as their mascot, because in my opinion, that's just cool.
