Mascots that make you say WTF?

Eagle blogs:

There are a lot of weird, stupid or pussy mascots that we almost never hear about at small schools i.e. Whittier Poets, Boll Weevils, UC Santa Cruz “Banana Slugs”, Ohio Wesleyan Battling Bishops, Anteaters, Fighting Okra etc..

But the major school mascots that are weird for me:

1. Big Al the Elephant – Alabama Crimson Tide (why an elephant to represent a Tide – why a tide – crimson or otherwise),

2. Lil Red – Nebraska – why no cornhusker? What is a cornhusker? Why steal Bob’s Big Boy mascot?

3. Oregon Ducks – sorry – Owls might not be Eagles but I’ll take them over a fucking duck.

4. Stanford Tree – what’s up with that – a bunch of pretentious fucks.

My favorites:

1. Oregon State Beavers – it’s the mascot equivalent of “Dick Hurtz” or “Mike Hunt”. There should be more along that line -- that sound dirty but could have another meaning – The Snatch, Trim, Peckerheads,

Muffs, Rack, Big Pussy’s.

2. Southern Illinois Salukis – not a clue – but sounds great.

3. USC – Trojans -- a mascot named Tommy – a big good looking stud horse named Traveller and condoms – works for me.

But none of this will matter – at some point – like they have everything else – corporations will buy their way into College sports – and we’ll have the Kentucky Fried Chickens, Wyoming Ford Mustangs, University of Washington Mutual’s, Penn State Lottery’s and the U of Seattle Starbucks (actually that doesn’t sound so bad).
