Interesting
16, 15, and 14 are all very relevant to us (6 is not relevant, just funny)

Hahaha, I kind of liked Dartmouth's Keggy the Keg - at least its funny. I actually have at home somewhere a "UC Santa Cruz Banana Slug" from a summer I spent there... its like a weird yellow see-through rubbery fake slug, they were very popular "souvenirs" when I was there.

In light of St. John's/Illinois/etc, how does 'Cuse continue to get away with that mascot? Isn't the proper term "Citric-American"?
Seriously, what the hell is an Orangeman? Maybe they should change their mascot to a sobbing rat.

Saw a sign from last night's game that referred to Otto as Putt-Putt's mascot.

Maybe they should change their mascot to a sobbing rat. A couple years ago, due to some SERIOUS cash from Nike (& possibly also the inanity of the words Orangemen/Orangewomen), the OFFICIAL Syracuse nickname is now the Syracuse ORANGE. It's kind of like the Stanford Cardinal, but with much more cash involved. Nike also got to commission the official new SU logo a couple years back. |

And Nike got to design the atrocious new uni's that they broke out for their tournament appearance. NIT, that is... |

That's some good stuff. The best parts are the descriptions by the guy, downright hilarious at times.
My favorites are his description of Boy Red or whatever from Nebaska and his comments on Brutus the Butteye.
In all honesty I don't see why Albert would be on the list, but granted I am a might biased.

In all honesty I don't see why Albert would be on the list, but granted I am a might biased. Initially I thought the same thing, High Fidelity. But upon further examination, the author clearly delineates her rationale and I whole heartedly agree. Your mascot does look like he's missing about 65% of his teeth and the ones that are still around certainly won't be doing much agressive chomping in the near future. Also, he has a large fupa. Traditionally, it is more imposing if mascots don't try to hide their 48 inch waists behind the " same huge, frumpy sweater I gave to my grandpa three Christmasses ago." |

I guess Albert just doesn't fit in with the totally absurd names/costumes etc. of some of the others on the list. I do agree that he isn't the fearsome and/or intimidating image that he could be. Back in the early 80's, there was an awful movie. I think it was called Alligator, but anyhow it was about some gigantic Alligator that terrorized a city. I want to say that the monster was living in the sewer system and would drag unsuspecting vicitims down with him. Needless to say it was really, really bad. After filming the movie, they donated the mechanical Gator to UF. For a short time it was on the sidelines at Florida Field. And it was a big impressive looking Gator. For whatever reason he didn't last very long though.
