Okay, if NAU’s creepy lumberjack gets on the list, what about University of Montana’s Monte the Grizzly? Sure, dude seems a little fruity, but he’s a freaking Grizzly Bear!

From the 10 Most Dangerous Animals in the WORLD: http://travel.aol.co.uk/the-10-most-dangerous-animals-in/article/20060926063809990001

Method of dispatch: There are many different sub-species of bear and not all of them are vicious. However, the polar, black and grizzly varieties are deadliest. Bears will trample, maul and generally savage their prey until they’re frightened off or finish the job; and will attack for a variety of reasons, hunger being one. You should always keep food well away from your camp.

A hungry, drunk bear in a bar fight? Dude, Stanford’s freaky tree is kindling.

Oski on the mascots you don’t want on your side? And that bastard “Tree” on the one fightin’ side? Oh no, my friend. You are wrong. Dead wrong. These two have gone head to head and it is clear that the Bear will not quit. The Bear will not die. Don’t let the fuzzy face and cute smile fool you. Oski is the bear in the early Faces of Death videos. Watch and enjoy as he chops down the “Tree” thing at a Cal vs. Stanford basketball game.

After watching “300″, I’ll take some USC Spartans with me as a backup in a bar fight, we would just lure the enemy down the narrow hallway that leads to the bathrooms and steadily stab anyone who tries to rush us….over and over and over….then sweep the bodies into the dumpster below…..
BTW, the Heisman commercial that was sponsored by Nissan last year I think had alot of Mascots in action, and the Bucknut was the large thing rolling down the street…the Sun Devil looks pretty scary though

See, i’m not the only one who sees the edible goodness of the Big 12. Although this list is easier to understand…

Good point. At least a Golden Flash is sparkly.

Come on, the Buckeye has to be the worst mascot.

Get ‘em Brutus!

(nut just sits there)

And even if it did anything, it would be to stab you in the back. “Et tu, Brute.”

1. The potato chip is one of the very few commercially available food items that, apart from a small handful of national brands, is distinctly regional.

2. Funyuns, Cheetos, Doritos, Chex Mix, Hot Fries, Sun Chips and (arguably) Pringles are not potato chips.

Do people in other parts of the world really use “potato chips” as a generic term for any crunchy snack, like those in my part of the world allegedly use “Coke” to mean any carbonated soft drink?

I really want to know.

#30 et al:

In all honesty, while Krunchers are tasty, one must realize that a bag of them will put you at least five steps closer to joining your fearless coach in becoming a Hutt.

The NC State Wolfpack have an advantage because our mascot isn’t just a wolf, it’s an entire pack of them.

Lil’ Red can call down the fires of hell and release soul raping demons into the world at his whim. I feel this trumps all weapons/natural advantages.

The Big 12 thing perfectly illustrates the difference between Kansas and Mizzou fans. Kansas fans like thick cut potatoes that are kettle fried. Mizzou fans like reconstituted potato mush served in a can.

U Mass Minuteman logo has a rifle. I don’t know if Sam the Mascot actually carries one.
