so we have one of the top 25 worst mascots

My wife is a Campbell grad - we are pleased to have both of our schools in the top 25. As they say in Buies Creek -"Hump 'em, camels!"
 
IMO opinion that list is more like the top 25 best mascots. The top 25 worst list would be all the tigers, bulldogs, eagles, etc.

Originality wins in my book.
 
  • Bulldogs – this is pretty much the default mascot when schools are founded. Chances are, if your mascot is a bulldog and you don’t go to Yale, your login password on every online account is also ‘passwd123’.
  • Tigers – just as generic as bulldog, but at least you picked an animal that isn’t inbreed.
  • Crimson Tide – yes, you’re terribly frightening. Well, once a month anyway.
  • War Eagle – at least you tried to be original, but you really only get to chose one mascot at a time.
  • Terrapin – come on you picked a turtle. A TURTLE!
  • Cavaliers – now if only you could license the old Tampa Bay logo, your loss of manhood would be complete.
  • Ducks – great, you just picked something less intimidating than a turtle.
  • The Cardinal – this is exactly the reason your football team “The” sucks.
  • Golden Gophers – I don’t know, it just sounds like some sort of Richard Gere award.
  • Blue Devils – not that there is anything particularly wrong with this choice. It just that you took a good idea and infused it with “wussy”.
 
Some of the things he wrote are amusing, but he's obviously a Michigan fan, which means he's retarded.

4. Xavier Univerity's Blue Blob (Atlantic 10)

The Blue Blob looks like what an alcoholic single dad would craft for his son for a Halloween or school pageant costume. "Look son, it's the Cookie Monster!" No, it's not. It's the personification of a failed father.

Also, I'm not sure the writer knows much about the Stanford mascot, to give it a #1 and describe it like he does. Of course it looks home-made. It *is* home-made, dumbass. Stanford hosts a school-wide competition for who can make the jankiest mascot costume, every year, and whoever wins gets to be the mascot all year long. It's a school tradition.
 
A few years ago I compiled mascot information on all the high schools in Georgia:

Bulldogs, Tigers, Eagles, Panthers and Wildcats are the five used most often --all very generic.

There are 7 Yellow Jackets, 2 Blue Jackets and 1 Red Jackets.

Some of the more original mascots in GA are:

Angoras, Atomsmashers, Battle Creek Warriors, Cherokees, Grangers, Ramblers, Red Terrors, Red Elephants, Royal Knights, Screaming Devils, Syrupmakers and War Hawks.

Blue Devils is a good mascot. I am partial because I am a Blue Devil alum --of Norcross HS.
 
Buzz is a really Great mascot. This guy is retarded, actually among all retards, I rank him number 1.

Hahaha. Maybe you should make a list and send it to him. I think Buzz is great, and in addition to Buzz we have the Ramblin' Wreck, which is awesome. Compare that to U[sic]GA, with their ugly as hell bulldog, and their even more ugly(who would've thought that was possible?) mascot rendition of said bulldog.
 
Duke is named after a French light infantry battalion from WW1. Apparently some troops that went to Trinity were impressed with their moxy.

How does this make you feel?

I know that when the first things I think of when I think of a school are Dick Vitale and the French, a little bit of bile shoots up the ol' esophagus.
 
Buzz consistently ranks top 3 in national, or at least regional, cheerleading competitions and is generally known to be a favorite... I'm not sure what that blogger is smoking, but I don't want to try it. That info comes from some 4 or 5 of my friends who are / have been Buzz.

I always had the impression that Buzz was a typically well-respected mascot, and he was always a participant in the Capital One Mascot Bowl.

Everyone can be a critic. That poster doesn't know what he's talking about.
 
Cmon People, that was a funny column. The funniest thing I've seen all month.
I'm still laughing. Ease up on the Buzz ranking ... he has black leotards on his toothpick legs and is wearing black Chuck Taylors for God's sake.

This is funny stuff.
When I got to Purdue Pete and the Mask guy ... I fell out of my chair.

Stanford does deserve #1 though ... kindergarten Christmas decoration ... Ha Ha Ha Ha .....
 
Comparing the Boilermaker mascot to Rocky Dennis was pretty funny actually. I think BCWreck is right. It's a joke, and as much as we all hate the Dawgs, there's nothing inherently funny about Hairy...although you could make a compelling argument that he also looks alot like an older, hairless Rocky Dennis.

On a side note, I'd like to apologize for sullying this message board with a picture as hideous as that, Hairy Dawg.
