Earns points for being bizarre. Also for a suspension due to public drunkeness at a game, which looks obvious from the picture.
#9: West Virginia Mountaineer (no name)
I've never been to West Virginia, but this guys looks exactly like what I think a Mountaineer would look like. Or the guy that was looking into Greg's window.
#8: Dubs- Washington Huskies
Shoutout to the hometown. Pretty cool mascot anyways though..... Went on the injured list for a while last year, hence the lack of a gameday picture.
#7: Wake Forest Demon Deacon (no name)
I have no idea what this nickname is supposed to mean, but this guy looks awesome.
#6: Pistol Pete- Oklahoma State Cowboys
Gets points for having an awesome name and a really big hat a la Turd Ferguson from SNL jeopardy.
#5: Sparty- Michigan State Spartans
Has a sweet costume, could beat up any other non-live mascot.
#4: Chief Osceola and Renegade- Florida State Seminoles
Chief Osceola rides out on Renegade before each game and plants a flaming spear onto the field, which has to be one of the coolest traditions in college football. Florida State claims permission from the Seminole tribe to use the nickname. Most Seminoles dispute that claim. Not too surprising that a team from the South has a racist mascot. (Check out Ole Miss' mascot for the most racist mascot around).
#3: Uga- Georiga Bulldogs
Been around forever, and recently tried to bite an Auburn player in the back of the endzone. The most pampered mascot in college sports bar none.
#2: BEVO- Texas Longhorns
Points for being a live mascot, having huge horns, and being huge in general. Sweet story regarding the origin of his name- A long time ago Texas A&M beat Texas 13 - 0, then stole Texas' Longhorn, and branded the score onto him. Texas students changed the 13 to a "B", the - to an "E", and squeezed in a "V" before the "O". BEVO.
#1: Ralphie- Colorado Buffaloes
I debated for a while betwen BEVO and Ralphie. Ultimately Colarado wins for taking a live Buffalo and sprinting across the field with him before each game. Awesome. Anyone else pumped for a trip to Boulder for some snowboarding and football once Colorado joins the PAC-10?
