<p>duke's blue devil is awesome</p>
<p>The lumberjacks and the lumberjills. Swear.</p>
<p>hey, don't bash the banana slug! i'm at UCSC and we have HUGE Banana Slug pride here. When the administration tried to change the mascot to the Sea Lions in the 80s the students voted it down.</p>
<p>Delaware's Fighting Blue Hens. Chickens? Really.</p>
<p>I've heard of one that is the "stars."</p>
<p>I think I would have voted to keep the Banana Slug... You've all got to admit it's an orignal mascot.</p>
<p>I think the slugs are very cool. What does suck is Stanford's mascot. Please, a tree?</p>
<p>It even changes colors according to seasons. :P</p>
<p>Stanford's mascot is not a tree. Cardinal is a color, in case you didn't know.</p>
<p>Tree is for the band.</p>
<p>i do know.</p>
<p>the tree is unofficial.</p>

calculus and trig in a cheer? that is so MIT. I want to see the perplexed faces of the people if MIT played in like national tournament with a lot of regular people

<p>So, I'm an MIT cheerleader, and the squad did that cheer before our competition performance this year in front of about 20 other (normal) college cheerleading squads. There was definitely a great deal of perplexity, as one might imagine.</p>
<p>I don't know if the Tufts Jumbos are the worst mascots, but their basketball uniforms have JUMBOS in big letters right across their seats, which I personally find pretty amusing.</p>
<p>Not a college mascot, but the class of 06 mascot at my high school is the Twinkie. We voted for mascots freshman year, and some guys with brains made of cream-filled spongecakes voted for twinkies, "knowing" that it would never win. Guess what... we're the Class of 06 Twisted Twinkies.</p>
<p>Virginia Tech's mascot is a turkey...
(Go UVA! :))</p>
<p>sagehens (pomona and pitzer)</p>
<p>MIT has a cheerleading team?...I guess you learn something new everyday....:)</p>
<p>That we do... I imagine we're probably one of the only cheerleading squads in the world that troubleshoots our stunts by talking about coefficients of friction and teaches new girls to stunt by talking about torque...</p>
<p>NYU VIOLETS!!! hahaha</p>
<p>Collegeparent, pookdogg is actually right on this one... Stanford's team name, which everyone else refers to as 'mascot', is "Stanford Cardinal," as in, the color. Their 'mascot', as in 'dude who runs around on the sidelines in a goofy costume cheering,' is a Tree, and is actually a member of the LSJUMB (the band) as someone pointed out earlier. (Stanford's LSJUMB band is sort of the Rice MOB band's counterpart, so we hold dialogues regularly.)</p>
<p>Someone mentioned the owl as being a lousy mascot. Ahem! The Owl is a great mascot, says the Rice alumna! ...but anything was a step up from my high school mascot: the Killer Daisies.</p>
<p>don't hate on the hoosiers! that's my school. plus, gene hackman was the man in that movie.</p>
<p>can someone tell me the mascots for brown, northwestern and grinnell?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
