What's Your School's Mascot?

<p>Saw this in high school life, was curious to see what kind of different mascots we all had. </p>

<p>Mine is a husky, more specifically Jonathan the Husky. GOO HUSKIES ! :D</p>

<p>p.s. school's mascot? or school mascot? :P</p>

<p>stanford has a very elegant mascot. I don’t go there, but I dig their school spirit.</p>

<p>the rhode island mascot is also a winner. or should I say… wiener</p>

3

<p>UC Davis’ official mascot is a mustang named Gunrock that used to live at the UC Davis Horse Barn back in the days. However, the UC Davis population is more known as Aggies. </p>

<p>AGGIE PRIDE, FTW.</p>

<p>Gamecocks!</p>

<p>My high school was the Griffin.</p>

<p>Apparently I can’t go to a school with a ‘normal’ mascot… you know one that isn’t based on illegal activity or one that isn’t mythical… :-/</p>

<p>But still… I love how on College Board I can say Go ****<em>! and it usually gets bleeped out… It’s so unfortunate, because that’s *actually</em> what we say in cheers and stuff.</p>

<p>Oh and people always say “Don’t get too cocky.”… but our mascot is named Cocky. I enjoy it. It makes for lots of laughs.</p>

<p>I went from a rock to a Spartan. </p>

<p>My high school mascot was a rock. A rock. -.-</p>

<p>My boyfriend went from a Spartan to a Spartan. One of our mutual good friends went from a Spartan to a Wolverine. We like to constantly remind him that he was a Spartan first and the Wolverine is just the leftover :stuck_out_tongue: (MSU/U of M rivalry in case you didn’t catch on… all in good fun of course ;)).</p>

<p>Clyde the moutain lion here.</p>

<p>Testudo the Diamondback Terrapin</p>

<p>Seen here looking badass:</p>

<p>Seen here looking… well, it’s not quite as imposing:</p>

<p><a href=“http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/1009/ncaa.2010.all-mascot.team/images/maryland-testudo-opr3-17955.jpg[/url]”>http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/1009/ncaa.2010.all-mascot.team/images/maryland-testudo-opr3-17955.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Christ I’ll be honest, the mascot costume looks like the horrifying product of a union between a turtle and a large-beaked avian. I guess there’s something endearing about it, but I’d rather have it look more like the logo version.</p>

<p>At least it’s not the nut of a tree (Ohio State) or an entire tree (Stanford). God, Stanford’s is the work of a child’s nightmare:</p>

<p>I like Virginia Tech’s HokieBird for some reason. I also like Georgia Tech’s Buzz and Ramblin’ Wreck (it’s a freakin car!).</p>

<p>But the best is Texas A&M’s Reveille. A live collie. The tradition surrounding it is also pretty sweet IMO</p>

<p>Cougars—>Nittany Lion—>Trojan.</p>

9

<p>Ours is the anteater. At least it isn’t the same mascot shared by 50 other schools.</p>

10

<p>My undergrad didn’t even have an official mascot until after I graduated a few years ago. Now it’s a Scotty dog. We’re still the Tartans, though, which is a particular pattern of plaid on the scarf the dog wears.</p>

11

<p>I forgot to mention we also have a live mascot as well. They bring Clyde in when special things happen (like the opening of the new basketball stadium).</p>

12

<p>We have Tuffy the Elephant. I lalalaLOVE USC’s Trojan and their school spirit. Chico’s Wildcat is really cute. I used to think UCSB’s Gaucho was some kind of alligator but it’s actually a guy, hahah!! :P</p>

13

<p>I went from a Bomber Plane to Hornets (transferred high schools), then my college mascot was a greyhound.</p>

14

<p>My school has 2!! :slight_smile: One is official, the “buccaneers,” and one is unofficial, the “turtles!”</p>

15

<p>Longhorn! :)</p>

16

<p>Valpo’s mascot is the Crusader!</p>

17

<p>We’re the Appalachian State Mountaineers. And our mascot is Yosef, this B.A.M.F right here: <a href=“http://blueridgeblog.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/11/26/yosef2.jpg[/url]”>http://blueridgeblog.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/11/26/yosef2.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

18

<p>We have Rudy Flyer, a creepy pilot.</p>

19

<p>I went from an Indian to a Hoosier (same colors though)…aka we basically have no mascot.</p>

<p>Haha oh man some of your mascots are…interesting. </p>

<p>In high school, we were the Vikings. :)</p>
