Huskers Already Ahead In The Game

That was AWWWWESOME!

 

For the record, I can't stand Lil'Red either (especially because people mistake him as the main mascot)

Ohio State Buckeyes – When I was a kid, we used to pull buckeyes out of a tree and throw them at each other. Never did we envision that a team would fashion their mascot after something that if you piled enough of them together on the ground, looked exactly like a pile of horse turds.. Brutus has no fashion sense either as the wide horizonatal stripe on his shirt does nothing but emphasis that enormity of his horse turd head…Fail.

Buckeyes are a poisonous nut. Bite me.

We'll always love you, Cy. You'd best be sticking around even after the conference move.

I actually love Sparty the Spartan. One of the best mascots around. A+

 

Michigan State isn't bad. I mean it's not great but considering the mascot choice is a gopher it could be MUCH worse. B-

 

The rest of the conference however.. those are some HORRIBLE mascots. FAIL

 

All of them other than Sparty and the Gopher need complete overhauls, especially that ratty looking Nittany Lion. Purdue could have an AWESOME mascot if they went the Herbie Husker or Sparty Spartan route.

... No love for Minnesota on this board.

That needs to go in our first Minnesota Look-A-Like Thread

:clap love it!

Since you are new to the Big 10, you may not be aware that Goldy Gopher is the only Big 10 mascot who has been spayed. Just a simple Public Service Announcement...

Nice write-up. I would like to add one thing:

 

[Bleeding Husker Red]

Bring Back HARRY HUSKER!

[corncraze]

That picture is the coolest thing IV seen!!!!!

lil' is just like our coach: off the hook and A W E S O M E!

[Bleeding Husker Red]

Awesome CY!!! +1...what about Michigan???

 

Hugh Jackman's agent threatened me with a lawsuit if I mentioned Wolverine and Michigan in the same sentence....

 

I'm guessing you're getting sued now then eh?

Wisconsin Badgers – Is it just me or is the Badger in need of some food? I’ve seen badgers and they are plump little animals. This thing looks more like a ferret. Wisconsin either needs to find some fat kid to wear their mascot suit so it actually looks like a Badger or it needs to change the team name to the Wisconsin Weasels…which actually sounds better anyway and they already have the mascot suit….Fail.

 

Northwestern Wildcats – Any school that is so unimportant as to be named after a direction and not something more consequential obviously needs an exciting and awe-inspiring mascot to rouse the student body. Northwestern got off to a good start by picking a frightening Wildcat but then it ruined the effect by giving it a big smile and making it look more like Snagglepuss that a scary animal. Dumb move by a school with a reputation for turning out smart people….Fail.

 

Penn State Nittany Lions – Take a good look at the picture. Is the brown thing on the right a lion or a meth user’s idea of a Jack Russell terrier? Actually, it looks like a kidnap victim stuffed in a gunny sack with a noose tied around his neck or maybe like a giant rat that crawled up out of the sewer. Really…what the hell is that? Now I know why they don’t put a Nittany Lion insignia on their helmets. Who would want that…Fail.

 

So, as you can see, Lil Red and Herbie can certainly be ranked at or near the top of the Big 10 mascots, placing them far ahead of most of the other schools before a single game has even been played.

 

 

 

Hey I LIKE snagglepuss! no Baggin on Snagglepuss!

 

 

I can't escape the impression that the badger and Penn State's Lion both look constipated. though....

Also, being from New York, our team's don't have mascots (unless you're a Met fan... Then I guess you need one), so mascots in general are new to me.

I guess a homeless guy who reeks of Thunderbird and urine isn't really politically correct.
