1) Goldy the Gopher (Minnesota)
He was the star of the Big 10 "Call Me Maybe" video, he has the best tail in sports, and he stands by one of the worst football teams in the BCS. Now that's a mascot!
2) Keggy the Keg (Dartmouth)
Keggy is the mascot at Dartmouth. More than that need not be said.
3) Bucky Badger (Wisconsin)
Bucky is always... well, he suits Wisconsin pretty well.
4) Cookie Monster (Univ. of Illinois)
After the University of Illinois had to ditch their former mascot, Chief Illini-Wek, they adopted Cookie Monster as their new mascot. He leads the crowd in singing "C is for Illinois" among other things. I see intellectual property issues on the horizon...
5) Handsome Dan (Yale)
Um, yeah. I suppose this is the appropriate setting to explain Yale's mascot...
E) Cletus (Texas A & M)
Texas A & M used to have a mascot named "Sarge," but they updated it to "Cletus" with their move to the SEC.
6) Big Red (Western Kentucky)
What is it? No one really knows, but Big Red brings the fun.
7) Monopoly Guy (Harvard)
It was good of him to visit Occupy Wall Street....
8) Doofus the Duck (Oregon)
The glasses are so 1987, but the song is catchy...
So, here is mine:
Bruiser, Baylor's bear,
Saw him once driving a car
So... is that legal?
Now it is your turn... the winner gets their bio here on Monday!
Manfred Moose you're gone
ReplyDeleteMinne's bridge to the 'Wild' - Now

A cold hearted act
To bury a furry chap
beneath icy tears...

Mascots are creepy.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely believe that
They are all killers.
Big Red’s a big blob,
But he looks just like Grimace
Just not as purple.
If Mike the Tiger roars
LSU will win the game,
Or else he eats them.

A bone in your head.

ReplyDelete"Go to Hell Carolina!"
No matter the foe.
What is a Griffin?
ReplyDeleteWill it bind a noble Tribe?

So did anyone else notice that the Oregon Duck starts out sitting in the same chair as the boring Yale guy? Did Osler make all of the videos?
ReplyDeleteOur mascot? A saint.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to be tough when your
mascot plays the harp.

ReplyDeleteIn the wild world of
ReplyDeletemascots, one question lingers--
what is an Aggie?
Stanford? Is it the
ReplyDeleteIndians, or "Cardinal"?
And really--the Tree?
Stanford's real, full name
is....Leland Stanford Junior
University
A JUNIOR COLLEGE! Who knew?
Sadly, I must withdraw my haiku. I was corrected at the football game last night. Apparently, I can't tell the difference between a sheep and a goat.
