- squishee, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17Glad to see you made a decision about the next four years of your life based on how stupid the mascot is. That's hilarious.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13My favorite thing about the Stanford tree is that IT has gotten suspended for intoxication at a women's basketball game. Does anybody else remember that?

- Xspire, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9oh yeah a drunken pine tree
- Xspire, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Riptide from Tulane just sold this article for me. And to think I just got information in the mail from Tulane. lol I was planning on going there but if this thing is going to represent me then... well yeah it speaks for itself. Gaylord the Camel is pretty legendary as well.
- bonexaw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Um.. dude.. the Stanford Tree mascot outfit changes every year as the Stanford Band member who is the Tree makes it themselves.
Granted, after all the stunts they have to pull to become the Tree, it's no surprise that it looks like a preschooler made it. - johnnyredcap, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Where is Willie the Wildcat from K-State? I mean the head is fine, but the human body makes him look ridiculous!

- janemcopland, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Every year at the Pac 10 swimming champs, some retarded Stanford parent would turn up dressed as the tree. It was the only time us regular Pac 10 schools got to feel superior to Stanford.
- pyromouse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I don't give a damn for the whole state of michigan.
- mortigon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Oscar: "Would you pass the garbage, Gunston?"
Gunston: "Puhleeese. I won't touch that stuff. I just got a manicure. Do you have any Perrier?"
Oscar: (under his breath) "...you're such a fag..."
Gunston: "Excuse me Mr. Trash Man? Oh no you di-n't!"
Classic... - scotsworth788, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Brutus on this list? Just more hatred...bury this trash.
- HA5TY, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4The reason that Georgia Techs mascot is the yellow jacket is, because a long time ago, Techs letter jackets were Gold (yellow) so they got the nickname "Yellow Jackets"
- fantasticFlan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4How can you not like the WuShock, he's a shock of wheat? Oh, I see.
- longwang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3LOL.............Did anyone else find the #21 Predatowl hilarious? And the caption for #20 Tulane University's Riptide was great......and #17 and #16....the whole post was funny.
- MrDavis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3nothing wrong with the Yellow jacket.. haha
- Jaded53, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Kiss Brutus's butt..... the crap school up north has always had more Ohio players going to Michicken then Michicken going to OSU....That why Michicken is always in the top ten....OSU fan's call Michicken...." Little OSU"
- jet87, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I'd digg it, but the article has Purdue Pete instead of the Boilermaker Special.
- janemcopland, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3There's likely to be a reason behind the adoption of most of these mascots. Sometimes, a good reason, at that. However, good reasons don't detract from the creepiness / silliness of the costumes :)
- Joel32, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This list is weak. His hatred for Ohio State and the comment about 'southern michigan university' is ironically funny, since their best players come from meechigan.
- pyromouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No contest
http://home.austin.rr.com/barnetthome/Image6.jpg - squishee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Dear God. Talk about an O-Face...
- brundlefly76, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I don't think anyone ever forgets going to their first Stanford game and finding out the the Stanford Cardinal is not a bird - I sure don't.
I was waiting for it all the way down the list and was delighted to see it at #1. - janemcopland, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Oh wow, that's incredibly disturbing. Questions arise: Why does it have a mouth like a blow-up doll? Why is it filthy dirty? Why is the look on its face one of, "Oh God, not in the back end!"
- pyromouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ah, the meadow on 420. I remember seeing the slug there (though I was drunk, not stoned). I could almost see the meadow from my apartment while I was at Kresge.
Awesome mascot, but it's not like he ever showed up to games... probably because there were no games. But he was good for merchandising and that's what's important. - bonexaw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2this year it was a messed up palm tree :-P
- billsandhill, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I used to go to a lot of Big East games and that Providence Friar used to scare the crap out of me. I still have nightmares about that big headed thing. he's worse than Mr. Met, almost.
- coreywit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1FEAR THE TURTLE!!
- squishee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yeah, but this article focuses on college mascots...though Burnie's giant green basketball nose is the cherry on top.
- Sizzor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Just what is a Demon Deacon anyway?
- big65rich, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2so what are the best mascots then?
- fauxXenophanes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Orangie's not number one ??
Underrated again. - scottfarner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How could the UIC Flames' (U of Illinois at Chicago) mascot, Sparky D. Dragon not make the list? Increadibly lame mascot.
http://www.uiaa.org/chicago/lighting/images/sparky.jpg - Worktruck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What makes me laugh is calling them rattlesnakes I live in Tallahassee and I've never heard anybody refer to FAMU as that. They've always just been the rattlers. I don't know just spelling it out as rattlesnakes just sounds really dumb to me.
- MISDoctor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How in the world can the NCAA think Indian mascots are offensive, while giving their stamp of approvals for half of these mascots including the Commodore, the Friar, and the walking Mr. Hankey (I mean the turd nugget of Ohio State)? Looks like some schools are being wushocked up the wazoo.
- courtarro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Buzz (our Yellow Jacket mascot) is way more interesting to watch at a game than most other mascots. Buzz runs through the crowd, pokes fun at opposing cheerleaders, crowdsurfs, wails on the percussion set during basketball games, steals hats from audience members, and plenty of other antics. It's sad to see the opposing mascot bouncing around his/her own cheerleaders, holding up no. 1 gestures, maybe shaking the hands of rich alumni on the front row - and that's about it. They barely move, and often their costumes don't have the articulative abilities to do anything more than waddle around and wave. Buzz "flies" (no pun intended) around the stadium/arena for the entirety of every game, and that energy translates into crowd involvement, which is the whole point of a mascot in the first place. So before you go tearing into a mascot because he has skinny legs, maybe consider the more important aspects.
- coryg1988, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I am pretty sure the Florida A&M one was freakin hilarious!
- courtarro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, to name a couple.
- PittPanthersFan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I am shocked, SHOCKED, that she didn't point out the uncanny resemblance that big-eared elf has with President Bush.
- jizzlies, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Y'all might like this Guide to Strange College Mascots: http://www.bofads.com/stories/collegemascots.htm
- fugazi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1More like the list of the best mascots. They have OTTO THE ORANGE!!!
- swimmingpie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No Rocky from Toledo??
http://www.bluekey.utoledo.edu/images/a3.jpg
http://graphics.fansonly.com/schools/tol/graphics/tol-mascots-150x225.jpg (with his very phallic counterpart)
http://espn.go.com/media/ncb/2001/0226/photo/s_stanford_mascot_i.jpg and a really bad stanford tree - creativecstasy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1yea, my school got the last honorable mention - go banana slugs - but how many of your mascots are as cool as ours? video proof!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=cHFRw9CoGFA - rmwest2001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Holy Crap, that was incredibly funny. I was vaguely bummed my Rutgers Scarlet Knight wasn't included.
I would have added Ca's Oskie the Bear.
Otherwise, great, great sutff! - Loyaleagle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1man, don't knock Gunston (#13)....the school recently tried to replace him with a more recognizable figure and the student uprising against it forced them to reconsider.....plus he's a fabulous dancer (and not GAY at all!)
- picto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You know what i've always found hilarious? Hairy Dawg from UGA never wears anything but football equipment. Arguably the least versitle mascot of all time.
- squishee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Nice catch. Fixed in the article.
- t3ch99, on 04/18/2008, -0/+0These mascot ideas are ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.classiccollege.com
Roanoke College is having a mascot contest. - jcoffman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The Boilermaker Special would destroy any mascot!
