The female version is known as Alberta, commonly used for Lady Gator athletics.Īlphie - the costumed wolf mascot of the Nevada Wolf Pack of the University of Nevada, Reno.Īrchibald Eagle - official mascot of the University of Southern Indiana.Īrchibald "Archie" McGrowl - a cougar costume.
Gator - the male alligator mascot of the Florida Gators of the University of Florida. Bring back the live Cougars-that's way cooler, and maybe if you're lucky the Cougar will eat an opposing player.Ace Purple - official mascot of the Purple Aces of the University of EvansvilleĪce the Skyhawk - official mascot of Stonehill CollegeĪce the Warhawk - official mascot of the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks of the University of Louisiana at Monroe.Īction C - official mascot of the Chippewas of Central Michigan UniversityĪir Dunker - inflatable mascot of the Murray State University Racers. Now the Cougar is a student in a costume, and is another mascot that looks like its been hit in the face with a shovel.
Cougar, I believe, is the only Pac-10 mascot with a middle name. The student body named it Butch, by request of the governor. With a lack of things to make fun of this mascot for, I conclude with, "Huck the Fuskies!"Ī cougar was presented to the university by the Washington Governor in 1919. Thank god this mascot actually looks like a husky though. The original mascot at Washington was the "Sun Dodger," which is much more appropriate for the school. The Trojans were great warriors and all, but.didn't they lose? I think we all learned that in high school, so I assume your founder didn't have a High School degree. Sorry if your mascot has a name, but frankly, I couldn't care less. Trojan-so many lame high school jokes right there. At least these mascots actually look like bears instead of Cal's sorry excuse for a mascot. Even the Arizona mascots have two names that are slightly different. This is yet another school with two mascots, Joe and Josephine-way to be creative with the names. If they were geniuses, their team might actually win.įor those that don't know, a Bruin is just another name for a brown bear. Maybe the geniuses at Stanford have some ridiculous math equation that created the link between Cardinal and a Tree.but probably not. This is the kind of logic your brain can't process-don't think about it too long or your brain might kill you. Cardinal is a deep red color which Stanford adopted as its mascot in the late 1800s.įirst off, a color? REALLY? That's your mascot? Where did the tree come from that runs around at football games? What does that have to do with your mascot? Why would anyone change their mascot from a Coyote to a Beaver? The only reason I can think of is so the mascot looks more like the people in the town.Ī common mistake about Stanford's mascot: Cardinal refers to the color, not the bird. Oregon State's first mascot was a Coyote, but they switched to the beaver in the late 1800s. Props on beating the crap out of the Houston Cougar, though-that was rad. Nike's Mandrake Duck was a huge letdown-he was released in 2003 and never showed up again. But couldn't we have come up with an original mascot instead of using Donald Duck and changing its name? I know we have a handshake agreement with Walt Disney, but come on. I think Oski needs to fight a real bear at halftime-then there will be a reason for him to look like he is missing a chromosome. If I was a little kid coming to the game, I would be scared out of my mind looking at him. I'm sure I am not the only one who hopes he accidentally impales himself on his pitchfork.ĭoes anyone else think this bear looks like he fell on his face one too many times? This is the worst-looking bear mascot I have ever seen. This mascot runs around with his little pitchfork, creepy smile that is a reminder of scary clowns at your local traveling circus, and evil Frenchman-like mustache.
Maybe if the two of them made love after the game, people would stick around until the end.ĪSU had several mascot ideas before settling on the Sun Devil in 1946, such mascots being the bulldogs, owls, and the "normals." I can see why they decided to go with Sun Devils instead of "normals." Luckily, Wilma cursed the football program by falling off a pier into the ocean at the 1998 Holiday Bowl-coincidentally, Arizona has not been to a bowl game since. Arizona proudly boasts Wilbur the Wildcat, who married Wilma the Wildcat. Since we're on the topic of mascots, let's look at all of the Pac-10 mascots.Ī school should only have one mascot.
