Dayn Perry of FOXSports.com recently ranked the 10 worst college football mascots for his blog, “$8 Beers”. It’s worth checking out just to see some of the ridiculous ideas schools had for mascots, and Dayn provides some pretty funny commentary.
The best commentary has to follow #2 Colonel Reb, the mascot for Ole’ Miss. Following a picture of “Reb” holding an Ole’ Miss flag with confederate colors, Dayn writes:
This one actually hasn’t been in sanctioned use since 2003, but it’s so bad that it deserves fresh ridicule. Yeah, it doesn’t exactly chill the bones to see a racist dotard who lost the only war he ever fought in staring back at you. Besides, extra wuss points for having fey little frat boys rally to your defense.
Personally I think that Stanford tree is the worst freaking mascot. Wow, a tree with huge red lips – scary. Although hey, I guess it scared at least one opponent this year, right USC?
