I think it is mostly because the only other Razorbacks I know of are in Australia somewhere, so there's really only 1 Razorback. We don't get watered down by all the Tigers, Lions, Bears, Wildcats, etc. Even if your team happens to be the first, you're still like a bunch of schoolgirls copying each other.

You see, what had happened was it was the late 80's. The SEC members sent reps from each school to determine who would join us in our conference in order to reach 12 teams so we could we have the SECCG in 1992. Well the Auburn delegation brought some hydro weed grown by their excellent botany students. The Aubies are generous folk and being the good ol boys that they are shared the weed. Now hydro was rare in those days and we didn't have the tolerance to it like we do today and everybody got real high and then the munchies. So we decided to go with the pig and chicken mascott schools because we couldn't stop thinking about the food potential at our tailgates. And this is how Arkansas and South Carolina were both voted in the SEC unanimously. So you see, the Arkanasas mascot is so cool it is why they were invited to join the SEC.

Sure, but a badass pig, that nobody in their right mind would challenge, sans a firearm.

Delta State is my 3rd favorite after my 2nd favorite, the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs, and my favorite, the Pittsburg State Gorillas. If I were rich enough to own a professional sports team, they would be named the Gorillas. I don't even care what sport.

Your mascot is an animal that wallows in its own shite and will eat food covered in said shite. Congrats.

Swine are filthy animals.

Their meat is loaded with diseases. They are a nuisance animal that destroy any land they occupy. They live in the mud and eat basically anything...........just like rats.

Yeah, domestic pigs and Razorbacks aren't quite the same thing. Might want to check that out. BTW, ever see an elephant eat shite right out of another elephant's arse? Yep, it happens.

Fair enough. At least Alabama's mascot has the common decency to give a reach-around before enjoying its shite dinner.

I like having a Gator as a mascot since it is pretty one off, but there are plenty of other in college. Volunteers, Commodores, Gamecocks, Crimson Tide and Rebels and Agiies are pretty rare as well.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but minor league baseball takes the prize.

The Isotopes, Albuquerque’s Triple-A baseball team, has one of the most amusing names in all of professional sports. Inspired by the Springfield Isotopes, a fictional animated baseball team featured in The Simpsons, and New Mexico’s many high-profile nuclear technology facilities, this fun team name triggers double takes and chuckles with every mention. If the Isotopes make you smile, then you’ll love our list of the 10 best best minor league baseball team names.

1. EL PASO CHIHUAHUAS
Because nothing says menacing quite like a Chihuahua!

2. BINGHAMTON RUMBLE PONIES
What, exactly, is a Rumble Pony? Don’t get caught up in the details. Just enjoy this glorious team name.

3. RICHMOND FLYING SQUIRRELS
One of nature’s most awe-inducing mammals finally gets its due thanks to this Double-A franchise.

4. OMAHA STORM CHASERS
Chosen by fans in 2010, Storm Chasers is a delightful nod to the Midwest’s extreme weather.

5. INLAND EMPIRE 66ERS
San Bernadino’s 66ers pay homage to historic Route 66, which ran through the city in its Dust Bowl heyday.

6. MONTGOMERY BISCUITS
An anthropomorphized buttermilk biscuit for a mascot? Yes, please!

7. ROCKET CITY TRASH PANDAS
The Rocket City Trash Pandas celebrate Huntsville, Alabama’s storied status as a hub for the aerospace and defense industry. The result: a glorious pairing of the city’s longstanding nickname with a slang term for raccoons.

8. AKRON RUBBERDUCKS
RubberDucks is more than just a silly name. It draws on Akron’s rubber industry roots. The northeastern Ohio city is home to Goodyear’s headquarters and was formerly the home of Bridgestone.

9. AMARILLO SOD POODLES
The team was aiming for a nickname that’s a little different when it came up with the name Sod Poodles – and that’s exactly what they got. In case you’re wondering – and of course you are – sod poodle is an old-fashioned nickname for a prairie dog, which are known to roam the Texas Panhandle.

10. NORWICH SEA UNICORNS
Because naming them the Norwich Narwhals would be too easy. Seriously, though, the Sea Unicorns’ logos are pretty epic.

Yeah but are based in Madison. Because Huntsville lost our minor league team a few years back.

My cousin played football for them back in the day and graduated from there. Excellent team name.
