Some great college mascots in this "Top Ten List." I personally like Dartmouth's and Rhode Island School of Design's "Scrotie"

I didnt like the "Gold" move but was a bit disappointed students chose to protest instead of just doing what Stanford, Dartmouth did and taking the mascot into their own hands. Is "Gold" really worse than "Green" or "Cardinal"?

Yes, it is far worse.
And that was a dumb question.

I agree. People got caught up in the outrage. You have to respect what the kids at Dartmouth and Stanford did. In the case of Dartmouth the U Prez acgtually applauded the Beer Keg Mascot.

It's worse in the sense that the decision to go to "Gold" could best be described as "arbitrary."
It was bad enough that we went from "Warriors" to "Golden
Showers Eagles." Now we were going to be a representation of more greed than Dax Shepard in Idiocracy? I'd rather be the dopey bird than a shiny brick.

Well played, good sir!
I thought this thread would be about Bluetax, our cookie monster mascot. Guess I was wrong.
Hey - We're #1!!
Although I would have given the nod to "the Nad", myself.
Great post. enjoyed it immensely.
no excuse why the "scroties" didn't take home the crown in this battle

I am with you, brother. Willie Wampum is bizarre. Scrotie is One for the Ages. I demand a recount!
Don't see where Willie is offensive.

Troll level = old dude
muwarrior87 and myself went to the library to check out the old Willie head a few years back.
No idea how that dude stood up without tipping over with that thing on.
Are the pictures above from the mascot survey back in 2004-2005?
Willie rocked!!!
Why would we even care about some stupid list put up by a website whose main purpose is to dupe people into enrolling in worthless online "colleges"?

Willie was pretty terrible.
I was there during the 'first warrior' era, never saw Willie much. Seeing the mascot now, I think I get why to some the name 'Warriors' is so intertwined with offensive imagery. MU shouldn't be proud of that mascot.
That's why ya gotta love FSU, an institution with "huevos"

You are wrong there. The Rhode Island School of Design is the "Institution with Huevos...and More"

I see what you did there.
