10 worst college mascots

by paul ulysse
Yeah, the Ohio State mascot is a nut. You wanna make something of it? I found 10 college mascots wackier  than good old Brutus.

10. Syracuse's Otto the Orange
Sure it's fun to play as the Orange in mascot mode on Playstation's NCAA football, but c'mon, really? An orange is just lame.

9. Xavier's Blue Blob

This poor-man's Cookie Monster serves as a secondary mascot to Xavier's musketeer D'Artagnan. Nothing's worse than having to play second fiddle to a guy named D'Artagnan.

8. Miami's Sebastian the Ibis

First of all, Miami's team name is the Hurricanes. Instead, you go with this silly Howard the Duck wannabe? The reason is because the ibis is the first to reappear after a hurricane, but doesn't that make leading the Hurricane football team onto the field a paradox? Then again, I doubt anyone at "the U" knows the definition of a paradox.

7. Delta State's Fighting Okra

A unibrowed okra, huh? Apparently, Delta State students thought their official mascot, the Statesman, wasn't frightening enough. So they adopted a fighting okra - oooh, scary.


6. Western Kentucky's Big Red


I guess it's pretty hard to conceptualize a mascot for WKU's team name, The Hilltoppers, but this guy looks like Elmo drunk on moonshine.

5. Stanford's Tree

Stanford has no official mascot, so they let the band mascot - the ugliest tree ever - become an unofficial one.

4. Akron's Zippy the Kangaroo

it's bad enough their name is the Zips -  smh! But it's not like Akron is a real hotbed for kangaroo activity.

3. University of Tulsa's Captain Cane

Captain Cane underwent a makeover last year - he now looks like Buddy Christ with a cape and muscles - to improve the anthropomorphic hurricane look. But last time I checked, Tulsa was landlocked in Oklahoma.

2. Scottsdale Community College's Fighting Artichokes
I've never gotten in a fight with an artichoke, but if I did, I bet I'd win. but this mascot look burnt i bet every student smoke at this school.

1. U.C. Santa Cruz's Banana Slugs



Slugs are never a good choice! The best thing about this mascot is it was pictured on a T-shirt worn by Vincent Vega after he cleaned up from shooting Marvin in the face in "Pulp Fiction."
