ORIGINAL: Canoerebel This particular strategem aint got legs, Chickenboy. Georgia's mascot was declared the nation's best by Sports Illustrated some years ago. The competition wasn't tough. War Chickems (Auburn), Tigers (ad nauseum, as you note), Bannana Slugs, Thundering Herd, Crimson Tide, Cardinal, Orange, Buckeyes (a tree?), Hawkeyes (a butterfly?), Corn Huskers (what the heck?), Golden Gophers, Terrapins, Nittany Lions, Green Wave (ack!). I'm not big on mascots, but I do happen to know the owner of the UGA line since he happened to write a story for the magazine a few years ago. He's a prominent lawyer in Savannah, so he'll probably represent himself in the Court of Yonder Kangaroo. But there are some dadgum good mascots: Hurricanes, Seminoles, Badgers, Wolverines, Longhorns, Black Bears (U. Maine), Lobos, Buffaloes, Utes, Rebels, Wolfpack, Volunteers, Cavaliers, Mountaineers, Catamounts. If you want to talk about oddball mascots, I present you with the Evergreen State College mascot "Speedy Geoduck" (pronounced "gooeyduck")
