<p>Of course, you're right. My bad.</p>
<p>It doesn't sound bad but if you've ever seen the mascot, you would know why it's bad it's some nondescript green monster. Doesn't show any sign of having anything to do with being a patriot. It's really strange.</p>
<p>A small, flightless bird which went extinct due to the fact that, when threatened, it runs in a circle.</p>
<p>worst:</p>
<p>USC Trojans: </p>
<p>the Trojans were slaughtered by the Greeks! why base your mascot on historical losers?</p>
<p>Good: Long Beach State Dirtbags (baseball)</p>
<p>Bad: Penn Quakers (a guy gets dressed up like a Quaker and runs around); Whittier College Poets</p>
<p>One of the Worst - Tufts the "Jumbos" - as in elephants. As a girl, I wouldn't want to wear that on a sweatshirt!</p>

<p>Renssalaer Poly Tech has two bad mascots. They have one that the tour guide said looks like a big red chicken, and the other for their hockey team, The Engineers, is a hockey puck with a hard hat on.</p>
<p>Ramapo Roadrunners. . . great for our track team I guess. . . not so sure about the other teams.</p>

<p>Williams- Purple Cows
[/quote]
OK, it's true that the Williams mascot is a purple cow. However, Williams athletes are actually known as "Ephs" (pronounced "Eefs"), or as "Ephmen" or "Ephwomen", after "Ephraim Williams". </p>
<p>The Division III New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) may lead the NCAA in distinctive nicknames, since it not only includes the Williams Ephs, but also the Amherst Lord Jeffs, the Bowdoin Polar Bears, the Tufts Jumbos, the Colby White Mules, the Hamilton Continentals, the Trinity Bantams, and the Connecticut College Camels.</p>
<p>Haverford's unofficial mascot is the Black Squirrel.</p>
<p>Swarthmore College athletes are sometimes known as "Earthworms", for the obvious reason that this is an anagram of "Swarthmore"</p>
<p>best: the brown bears! cheesy, i know :p</p>
<p>clearly, the U of C "Maroons" take the cake for worst mascot ever. its not even a noun...its an abstract idea and pretty much the worst color ever.</p>
<p>Funny story. Before Stanford changed to its current mascot, the students got to vote on their mascot. They chose to be the Stanford Robber Barons. But the alumni threw fits at the indignity (ha) and the administration nixed the plans to be diplomatic - hence, the Cardinals.</p>

<p>It could be worse, you could have been a purple cow!</p>
<p>I always thought Haverford College's Black Squirrels were the antithesis of ferocious. Then my sister told me they used to be called the Fighting Quakers so I decided hey, there are always worse alternatives!</p>
<p>I thought Indiana would get the nod for WORST. I am an alum and still am not clear on what a Hoosier might be!</p>
<p>shhh y'all, usc trojans are the best!!</p>
<p>The Best - University of South Carolina's "Fighting Gamecocks! "
and
I have to agree that the Jumbo one sounds pretty bad.</p>

Fine, mock the purple cow. But how many of you scoffers have actually **seen **the Williams</a> Purple Cow? You never saw a Purple Cow?</p>
<p>Fact is that Williams has the meanest, baddest Purple Cow on the planet. It's a Purple Cow with ATTITUDE. Fear the Cow.</p>
