When I was a student at Vandy, good old Mr. Commodore was described by the humor magazine as looking like “Popeye with Down’s syndrome.” It’s sad how true that is. But then one of the mascot guys got fired for appearing in costume in the same magazine, sitting on the can and perusing the latest copy of Playboy’s “Girls of the SEC” issue. I was so proud when that story made it on SportsCenter.

There’s one high school out there that laughs at your notions of a “killing spree”. Click link in my name.

13 – Coop – I think the girl who had the full-body tiger paint (during the GT@CU game, maybe?) makes up for those guys.

All of my favorites were missing, Georgia had Hairy Dawg instead of Uga, the USC trojan, Texas Tech’s masked rider. This poll is worthless.

I vote for “Nova” and “Spirit” – the eagles used for pregame flights around the stadium before games at Auburn… any mascot that is allowed to go free in a stadium filled with 86,000 people and not pluck out an eye, rampage in a crowd or bite someone is pretty cool

of course that may change next year when I wear my alligator meat shirt to the Florida game there

One of MSU’s Bully’s got a military-style funeral procession in 1939 and is buried at the 50-yard line under the bench, so that has to count for something.

Peruna from SMU — killed the Fordham ram, has slept in every sorority, has had elevator privledges at hotels in Chicago and New York City, as well as other notable incidents such as when he tried to mount Texas Tech’s horse, Misty, sent the University of Texas Longhorn Bevo to the ground with a kick in the side, and defacated at midfield during a TCU – SMU game, the week that TCU unveiled the school’s brand new Field Turf.

Winner.

Going to the site, school loyalty just barely won out over comedic value. I almost voted for the Duke Blue Devil just to see what would happen if EA had to release a FB game with Duke on the front, but loyalty to the university wins every time.

A Bernstein/New York Philharmonic comment is just awesome. I once played in an orchestra in which the conductor did a 360. Alas it did not end in the splits. My undergrad orchestra’s conductor once did a pretty cool head move to get the 6/4 across in Brahms�s #3. The Hochschule fur Music in Vienna would have been proud of him.

I kind of like Madden on the Wii. It’s a lot easier to remember to do things like throwing a stiff-arm when you just sling your arm out instead of having to remember which stupid button to press this year (whether it be triangle, square, R16, L26, or X5 because you know they changed it from last year). Some of the movements could use work but I do consider it a net plus. What’s ironic is that the thing I have the hardest time remembering how to do with the remote is throwing the ball away.
