Which teams do you think have the best and worst mascots?

I think that Stanford takes the cake, but if were talking FCS, the teal chicken of doom from Coastal Carolina is my choice. xlolx xlolx Just kidding Coastal fans!

But seriously, he's teal. xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx

I'm going to nominate the Fordham Ram as one of the best mascots. It must be because so many other schools (and even one professional football team) have borrowed the nickname.:)

Whatever. SugarBears is a term of endearment not a term of subserviance. Anyone thinks that is the intent then they need to get out of the 5th century. xbawlingx xlolx xlolx

Moving on to other mascots..

Southern Arkansas
Men's team-muleriders

University of Arkansas-Monticello
Men's team-Boll Weevils
Womens team-Cotton Blossoms
Arkansas Tech
Men's team-Wonderboys

Other out of state schools
Delta State fightin Okra ( freakin hilarious! )mississippi school)
Valdosta State Blazers (make me proud miami vice style boys! Georgia school)

...with all the Arkansas mascots that are a little strange, sugarbears is nowhere close to the top...xthumbsupx xlolx

Here's a link to a website I found that lists some of the more unusual ones:

I understand it is a term of endearment, but it is still at the same time oppressing, it is like a great women athlete doing playboy. It really isn't enpowering, it is still oppressing them to their image. Using SugarBears or Lady whatever, it is oppressing them to there gender, but they are athletes.

I really like the Stanford Tree. It's unofficial, and it doesn't really match the Univeristy's nickname. But students in the band have been carrying on the tradition for a long long time.

Teal chickens aren't so bad. Teal chickens with TEETH - now that's ridiculous.

I loved the Fighting Christians - it's funny because it's true. Phoenix is just awful. Talk about first to worst.

As for my alma mater, it's not terribly imaginative to nickname a NC Mountain school the 'Mountaineers,' but Yosef hs a pretty good backstory. Plus, he's something of a white-guy stereotype, so, in a way, he exposes the NCAA's mascot-policing double standard. Yosef isn't at the top of the mascot list, but he's not awful.

The University of Illinois S&M Lincolns is either the best or worst, depending on your sense of humor.

hahahah, you know doc, i thought the same thing when i first heard of a bearKat and visited shsu my freshman year. went to the game wondering what it was and voila! a goat.

but, a bearKat is nor bear, nor "cat," nor goat. it's something far worse...

it's made up!

haha, just kidding sammies.

Terror or someone from SAM could prolly fill u in. but all i know is that a bearKat is a mythical creature that the university made up.xwhistlex

Agree!

But I'll have to put it in my own perspective. I have no problem with the Lady Griz. Sexist, maybe, but not the same as Sugarbears at all, IMO.

Hofstra Flying Dutchmen was great......So much better than pride.

I disagree and I always have. :D

I think the dual meaning of the word pride, it's non-sexist nature, and the logo are fantastic.

If anything, Hofstra rates top ten, probably top five, easily.

It's also not common. Good on them. xthumbsupx xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

If you think having a cowardly, weak, AND stupid mascot is bad, put the Teal Beach Chicken on top of your list because that's how the Chanticleer is described in the Canterbury Tales from which the USC-Coastal students and staff got it from.

My top 5:

#1 Chanticleer ("Thunderin' Beach Chickens" is actually an improvement)

#2 Banana Slugs (stupid hippies)

#3 Anteaters

#4 Fightin' Christians (would that be known as a crusader?)

#5 Peacocks

- also any school with eagles, bulldogs, wildcats, tigers, etc.

http://wwwnew.towson.edu/etu/063004/issuepics/potw.jpg

Funny mascot story, when I was a true freshman at Towson, I remember playing Bucknell at home in a downpour. Being redshirted, alot of us freshman were looking for something to do on the sideline in the rain. Late in the third quarter our tiger mascot starts yelling at the Bucknell Bison mascot. They got into a shoving match which turned into a full out fight. The cheerleaders had to break it up. In the end, the tiger had one of the bison's horns in his hand and wouldn't give it back.

Oh, the strange things you see!

Funny mascot story, when I was a true freshman at Towson, I remember playing Bucknell at home in a downpour. Being redshirted, alot of us freshman were looking for something to do on the sideline in the rain. Late in the third quarter our tiger mascot starts yelling at the Bucknell Bison mascot. They got into a shoving match which turned into a full out fight. The cheerleaders had to break it up. In the end, the tiger had one of the bison's horns in his hand and wouldn't give it back.

Oh, the strange things you see!

Your mascot is awesome!

And if you really want to see some weird mascots go to some DIII NESCAC Football games. I think the Amherst College Lord Jeff mascot might be the most frightening. I can't find a picture of it though.

I was watching the college world series of baseball today and I think it was UC Irvine that is the Anteaters. That will strike the fear in any team.

Based on how the mascot looks, they should be called the Northwestern State Fighting Antonin Scalias.

Yes, Vic has have several "looks" over the years. Some really good and some (like the one you mentioned) really bad! I think this one is o.k.; they should probably keep this version.
I like his new look. I first saw Vic in '95 he looked really pale. xlolx Since we're talking mascots on the sidelines... I wish I had a pic of JagMan. xnonono2x xnonono2x xlolx

Evergreen State Geoducks and their inspiring fight song:


Go, Geoducks go,
Through the mud and the sand,
let's go.
Siphon high, squirt it out,
swivel all about,
let it all hang out.

Go, Geoducks go,
Stretch your necks when the tide

REALLY? The best mascot they could come up with, huh? REALLY? Wow......just.....WOW.

The geoduck is mollusk native to the Pacific Northwest. The geoduck (pronounced "GOO-ee-duck") is the largest burrowing clam in the world, weighing in at anywhere from one to three pounds at maturity. The appearance of geoduck's large, protruding siphon has led to the belief that the geoduck has the properties of an aphrodisiac.

I saw a cooking show where they went out into the mud flats during low tide and dug these things out of the sand/mud. The assistant/girl told the host that she didn't want to say what these things felt like and then when she pulled it out of the ground, it released all its water all over her shirt. It could be the funniest most unintentionally funny thing I have ever seen. I was laughing for a good 15 minutes afterward. Seriously, true story. It was on tv only a couple weeks ago.

I remember Furman had a "blob" back in the '80's....weird...

I remember Furman having a creepy wizard that looked like a giant blob at a game about 5 or 6 years ago. I was told that it was rare when he made an appearance.

Let's hope its appearance stays rare.

I am not even a real big fan of our or anyone else's cartoon face mascots.

I tried to find the ESPN footage of the fight that they had in the endzone, but I could only find a write up. It was a great fight that the security had to finally break up. It started out as the usual good-natured fake scuffle, a half-hearted tussle; but, after the Chief Brave Spirit Mascot ripped Vic the Demon's head off, Vic landed several round house haymakers to the chief's neck (which turned out to be the jaw of the guy inside).
