A Nut and a Gopher (Ha!!!)? A Devil and Demon Deacon (seems like a conference of Satan Worshippers to me). A Duck and a Beaver?!? And a Sooner?!?

Those are actually all really cool mascots.

I have to say, the Razorback, the Wildcat, the Gamecock, and the Gator are cool mascots.

As for Oklahoma's Sooner Schooner, I guess they fail to realize that a Sooner was someone who cheated … they started the land rush early.

I wish reality would allow UAB get a real dragon as its mascot (where are you, George RR Martin?).

The Louisiana Tigers were infantry Troops out of Louisiana during the Civil War. They quickly became one of the South's most feared batallions earning the phrase "they fought like Tigers." LSU took that moniker and also has a live Bengal Tiger mascot. The only one in the country. It's not exactly generic.


Say it louder for the idiots in the back!

FIFY. To wit:

Razorback = invasive nuisance species

Commodore = out ranked by Admirals, plus sounds a lot like "commode", plus a ridiculous nickname for a school in a landlocked state.

Gamecock = write your own porn joke

Crimson Tide = write your own menstrual joke

Aggie = write your own bestiality joke

3 tigers + 2 Bulldogs = complete lack of originality

Volunteer = on the losing side of a war

Gator: the only SEC nickname that's any good. Too bad the school sucks.

Perhaps our Tennessee brethren can help us out here. I thought the "Volunteer" was based on the group of volunteers from Tennessee who fought in the Texan War for Independence from Mexico? They may have lost the Battle of the Alamo, but I believe Texas won the actual war. Technically, they achieved their objective at the Alamo by delaying the Mexican advance in order to give General Austin time to organize.

You could say the same of almost any conference

PAC 12:

A duck: something known for an annoying noise and the way its meat tastes

A Trojan: historic dumbasses

Huskies: common house pet?


Big 12:

Cowboy: yeehaw! Terrible

Sooner schooner: outdated mode of transportation

Beck: see “duck” above


ACC:

Deacon: what?

Blue devil: what?

Tar Heel: what?


Big 10:

Wolverine: the animal, not the cool comic book character

Gopher: cousin of groundhog which is cooler

Spartan: in Michigan? Doubtful

I like schools with mascots that are relevant to the region they're located (like Sooners, Cornhuskers, Gators, Hurricanes, Longhorns, Seminoles) and don't care for generic ones (like Tigers, Bulldogs, Wildcats)


Sounds like you don't know wtf you are talking about. The state of Louisiana is the home of the Fighting Tigers. It's not generic.

You shouldn't even get to provide input on this thread with your "cracked-out" tiger looking mascot.
