1. Stanford Cardinal - Really? A tree that looks like 3 year olds decorated it. I expect more from this great University.
2. Wichita State - Your nickname is the Shockers. You have so much potential there in many ways BUT you decide with a Frankenstein figure called Wushock. BOOOOOOOOOOOO!
3. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers - The name is appropriate. I ran through the middle of campus and almost threw up. The hill that the entire campus is on is ridiculous. You somehow decide that your mascot is going to be a version of the Kool-Aid man after gastric bypass. (I stole this line from another blog because it is sooooo true!)
4. Akron Zips - Zippy the Kangaroo. Yes, a school in the middle of OHIO decided to have kangaroo as their mascot. Who knew Australia and Ohio had kangaroos in common.
5. Xavier University - A fellow jesuit univeristy. I didn't know that the cookie monster (Blue Bob at Xavier) is a Musketeer. He must be one hell of a shot.
I did not have the heart to put LU in this list but a wolf is a rambler???? On a sidenote, I think that Dartmouth may have my favorite mascot ever...Keggy the Keg. Wow.
Well, I hope you all have a great day/week.
Note: Lil' Smitty jarred my memory that St. Ignatius of Loyola raised two wolves. That is probably were Lou Wolf comes from. Still pretty weak...

I have never really like the Buckeye as a mascot - what is it? A nut? yeah.
I like the Hilltoppers - he is cute, BUT not a great mascot either.
And sadly - the Ramblers aren't too great themselves.
My first thought was the XU blob...huh?
Hard to come up with 5, but...
1. Syracuse- An orange
2. Utah- What's a Ute?
3. Why is Alabama Crimson Tide represented by an elephant? Yes, I'm watching the game.
4. Stanford- just ugly
5. Illinois- currently have no mascot(Chief Illiniwek or however you spell it)because it offends Native Americans. Huh?
Ok, so this monstrosity of a post made me actually get a google account so I could comment. The blob is NOT the XU mascot - that would be the Musketeer. The blob is a side-kick. I suggest we do some home work prior to next week's submission. I urge my wife to do the same prior to commenting. No excuses...

After Herky my next favorite mascot is Rowdy from Purdue. He is awesome and scores ton of chicks!
