#1 College Mascot.....

[jacksonvilleconfidential]

Nobody has a more real and true mascot than Florida State.  A true blue Seminole Indian on a stately horse wielding a REAL spear.  There is nothing furry and fuzzy about that.  Cheif Osceola is the man! 

WOW! Calling an Native American a mascot just doesnt seem right.

Not to be too much of a ____, but what makes UGA that much more unique than the other 38 (yes, there are a total of 39 four-year college mascots that are Bulldogs - most all with "real" bulldogs on the sidelines and a storied lineage to go with them. The poll was obviously hijacked by rabid (pun intended) Dawgs........
Eagles are the most commonly used four-year college mascot @ 74.  I guess we just need to put a live alligator on a leash & put cute sweaters on it, too.

BTW - I'll take Keggy the Keg from Dartmouth ANY day!

Um, pull the wig off of the noble & proud Chief & you'll get a blue-eyed, blonde haired frat boy.......
Just check out these authentic Native American names - I wonder what their meanings are

well if its so simple, let's put you up on Renegade this Saturday against Va Tech

and not to be particular...but the rider is only Osceola now (not Chief)...apparently the warrior was never a Seminole chief so the tribe asked FSU to make the change.

And all the people you mentioned are at least twice as cool as Mr. two bits.

[blizz01]

Probably - but he's not our mascot.  He did go to The Citadel though so he doesn't need to throw on a wig & warpaint to be a badass & only missed 1 game in the last several decades (when his wife died).  If you'd like to parade him around the 50 yardline on your horse with a flaming spear you should hit him up on his Myspace.

[tufsu1]

so wait...wearing blue golf pants that are ready for the next flood makes him a badass?

[blizz01]

To reiterate - he's not Florida's mascot, which discredits your jab.  He's simply a recognizable fan that's almost 90.  I can pluck out ridiculous FSU fans all day - hahahaha

Those glitter boys were really creepy.  It seems like that junk would get in your eyes too.   

[duvalbill]

You can pluck out ridiculous FSU fans?  UF's fans are under the impression that jean shorts are a staple of everyday attire.  Well, two can play this game.  Check the link.

Also, I'm glad to say that FSU players don't steal from the dead.

Heh, this thread is going south really quick!  Let's keep it friendly guys/gals. 

[uptowngirl]

Ahh they are just jealous that the BD win's hands down!!!

[Traveller]

No mascot is a match for the Fighting Okra.

Alright traveller, you got us!   That guy looks scary.

OK - Truce.

Although not collegiate, it cannot be overlooked - One thing that I think we can ALL agree on is that JAXSON DEVILLE is hands down the best thing going in the NFL -  No other team's mascot even comes close to pulling off the daredevil stunts & theatrics as this "cat".


From CBS Sportsline

If there is a large, overstuffed NFL mascot that plays the villain role as well as the Raider Nation does, it's Jaxson De Ville.

This is the mascot whose foul behavior actually caused the NFL to make rules changes to restrict just how ornery a mascot is allowed to get with an opposing team.

This is no cartoon character. This is no comedy act. Lord help you if you ever mistake this Jaguar for Chester the Cheetah or Tony the Tiger, because you'll need catlike speed and reflexes to escape your doom.
