re: Ranking the Nicknames/Mascots of the SEC

1) Razorbacks
This is by far the best mascot. It is neither over-played nor an abstraction. It is only known to be associate with our school and state. We also have a great live animal that would literally destroy others' dogs, cats, and chickens.

Great..a pig..the fearsome..wild pig

2) Crimson Tide
This one is great too. It is also wholly identifiable with a school and state.

---

How is the name "crimson tide" identifiable with the state of alabama? besides the school nickname, it has nothing at all to do with the state of alabama. neither do elephants

Gators
Cool mascot with real connections to the state.

---

Agreed. This one is a solid pick

quote:

---

Gamecocks
Weird name but overall a fighting rooster is a pretty damn mean animal.

---

True

quote:

---

Commodores
This one has no immediately obvious connection to the school, but being named after the school founder is sort of cool. It is also a human mascot, so a bit weak.

---

now a human mascot is considered "weak". Got it.



BTW, Did you finally figure out that a bengal tiger is just a mascot and the name "fighting tigers" has more history than most of the SEC teams?
