11 - Jacksonville State University and University of South Carolina "Gamecocks"

Ooooh, just barely missing the Top 10. So close, but they get edged out by an even better name for the same creature. Yes, we're talking about those lovable (well, maybe not) birds known as roosters. These roosters are trained for the deplorable "sport" of cockfighting, not something which should be glorified, but it's a really distinctive collegiate nickname and mascot.



Something to be proud of I guess. South Carolina ties Jax State for something. Nice work!

Makes me unproud to be in top 100.

sure it matters. You brought up the idea of exclusivity. You posted covers from the 1950s

WE could make THE definitive sec mascot poll. We put each mascot in a new post and just upvote our picks.

Memphis' tiger "Tom" was huge when I saw him a couple of years ago. Weighed 600 pounds and pure Bengal. They said the school has had live tigers for 30 years.
