I personally like Western Kentucky's mascot. I have no idea what it is, although I once heard someone say it's like a Big Red [part of the male anatomy].

Big Red:

I grew up in Lubbock, so something about a person riding a horse through the stadium was always cool. Here are two I really like:

Sebastian the Ibis. Mascot to players such as: Andre Johnson, Phillip Buchanon, Eric Winston, Quadrine Hill, Sinorice and Santana Moss, Jeremy Shockey, and many, many more.

That is like saying:

"Amarillo is the best city in Texas."
"My favorite bean is the lima bean."
"I prefer tofu burgers to the real thing."
"I'm a Cowboy's fan, and my favorite season is 1989."
"Jimmy Carter and George W Bush are the two best presidents we have ever had."

You get the point.

I agree, I want to take a scrub brush to their helmets. It is an EYE sore. :hunter:


J/K. My roommate is a big Buckeye fan too.
 
If this has evolved into a best mascot thread then I have to say not a single mascot has UGA's resigme.

the April 28 issue of Sports Illustrated splashes the Bulldogs' bulldog on its cover, rating him the nation's No. 1 college mascot.

He has been in two big movies, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and Gator. He has been flown to Washington D.C. to meet legislators.

When Uga VI flew to Washington for a legislative reception this July (see photo below), the story made headlines as far away as London.A photo of Uga VI nuzzling a baby from Picture Day 1999 appeared in the Shanghai Daily.

When the president of the Downtown Athletic Club led Uga back into the anteroom, the Heisman winners of the past were lining up in order of the year they had won the trophy. The grand entrance parade is a spectacle in itself. Large banners from every Heisman winner's school encircle the hall. While these legends of the past were lining up, one of them broke ranks and came over to give Uga IV a friendly pat . . . it was then-Florida coach Steve Spurrier.

The next day, an Associated Press photo of Herschel, Uga, and Sonny—all three of them in black tie (at left)—was featured in major newspapers around the country. Uga IV was heralded as the first and only mascot to attend the Heisman banquet, and the photo made it into Chevy Chase's "Weekend Update" segment on "Saturday Night Live."

As Baker angled through the end zone, he ran right at the 6-year-old mascot. When it appeared they would collide, Uga V went airborne, aiming for Baker's . . . midsection, to put it diplomatically. He might have made contact, but Baker put on the brakes and Charles Seiler pulled back on the leash—sparing Uga an unnecessary roughness penalty and Baker a trip to the hospital.

This made ESPN's plays of the year.

Williams: No matter what you and I ever do in our lives, Mr. Kelso, neither of us will ever be as famous as Uga, the university mascot of the Georgia bulldogs.

I've gotta support my alma mater SMU. Though there are some other cool university mascots out there as well.

Speaking of SMU, they've been sending me E-mails and catalogues in the mail...even though I just finished my sophmore year.

Prior to 1941 they used real bears.

Please note the true college experience the bear has from the background.
 
5) Which school has the best live mascot?


34.2% Georgia's ''Uga'' (bulldog)

12.6% LSU's ''Mike'' (tiger)

12.0% Colorado's ''Ralphie'' (buffalo

They come up with all kinds of creative "slogans" in South Carolina using their mascot "Cocks". I remember the anti Clemson shirt that said "Your Tigers can't lick our ... ". I am sure you can figure out the rest.
