I don't know about you, reader, but
these days I'm happier to see Halloween over than even the Christmas
holiday. Since when did adults take it over from the kids? In light
of all the goofy special uniforms they're wearing in college football
these days, we're just lucky we didn't have a team sporting pumpkin
head helmets! But seeing how this week's ranking falls on the 31st,
I'm going to do a roundup of mascots in our top 25. FOUR Tigers, one
Cougar, one Dr. Seuss Lion. Two Bulldogs now, one Husky, and a whole
pack of Wolves. Also, Wolverines, Badgers, and a mutant reptile. Two
teams named after the color red, though I'm not sure one of them
isn't a discontinued laundry product that always made the whites
pink. Cowboys, Knights, Bulls, and tree nuts. Two teams named after
weather, and one named for an exclamation (Hokies, as far as I can
tell). And let's not forget the eternal rivalry between the embattled
Catholics and the product almost synonymous with contraception. Last
and certainly least, the team named for early agents of genocide
(Sooners). Bon appetit! --H. Houndstooth
