122

123

<p>U Maryland Terrapins
terrapins=turtles, not too scary</p>

124

<p>Along with kewkiekid, allena, pea_sea, croberts532</p>

<p>I also think the banana slugs are cool..it's different and interesting imo</p>

<p>And the Amherst Lord Jeffs should not belong under the worst mascots category either. Ditto for the Pomona Sagehens.</p>

125

<p>i'llbeback: Brown Bears, Grinnell Pioneers, Northwestern Wildcats; very original</p>

126

<p>stanford cardinals, I am not sure, doesnt that refer to the bird instead of the color?</p>

127

<p>Why is it that the smarter the school the stupider the mascots? </p>

<p>Personally, the worst is the Michigan Wolverines. Why would you name your school mascot after a rodent? (If a wolverine eats a Buckeye, he will die)</p>

<p>My alma mater, the Kent State Golden Flashes is pretty lame. The mascot is a huge Eagle. The funny thing is that they have a festival called "Flash Fest" which involves seeing no boobs whatsoever.</p>

128

<p>Campbell - Fighting Camels</p>

129

<p>I dont know if this was mentioned but,
The Rhode Island School of Design p e n i s. I found a link to a pic, ugh. Dont look if you dont want to see. Mods please dont warn/ban me, its relevant to the topic and legitimate. <a href="http://risd.dailyjolt.com/albums/album354/pic10119.jpg%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://risd.dailyjolt.com/albums/album354/pic10119.jpg&lt;/a> Totally atrocious. Can you imagine taking your family to a game?</p>

<p>Just ran across this thread. Has anyone mentioned the Evergreen State College geoducks? Pronounced GOOEY-DUCK. </p>

<p>Once again, it is Stanford Cardinal not cardinals. Cardinal refers to the color, not the bird. In addition, the tree is neither the official mascot of the university nor the unofficial mascot. It is the mascot of the band.</p>

"The Williams college mascot is a purple cow, possibly derived from Gelett Burgess's nonsense poem:</p>

<p>I never saw a purple cow
Nor do I hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one."

<p>You know, about five years later, upset over how popular it was, she also wrote:</p>

<p>"Yes, I wrote The Purple Cow
I'm sorry now I wrote it.
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'll kill you if you quote it." </p>

<p>Haha! Watch out Williams! :-D</p>
