OT: 10 Worst Mascots EVER
- Solid, standard-issue animal mascots like Bulldogs, Wildcats, Rams, Bears, Tigers, Panthers, Cougars, Falcons, or Eagles.
- Quasi-ferocious humans, which include Trojans, Spartans, Crusaders, Red Raiders, Vikings, Knights, Pioneers or Pirates.
- Mystical or mythical creatures are featured prominently on the mascot roster: Blue Demons, Sun Devils, Dragons, Titans, or the Phoenix.
- So do violent forces of nature like Hurricanes, Cyclones, or Tornadoes.
- Some mascots are obviously the first animal that wandered past the naming committee: a Mule, a Buffalo, a Longhorn, a Blue-Tick Hound, a “Fighting” Squirrel.
- Then there are those schools that apparently care most about truckloads of merchandise sales to juveniles and go with sexual innuendo (e.g. Beavers, Cocks, or Horned Frogs).

With regard to the original topic; one wonders if, given the recent meaning that "cougar" has assumed, Wash St and BYU are considering a mascot switch?

The symbol they use, which gets put on all of their jerseys/helmets is a hand waving a red towel. Wahoo...

9. The Nebraska Cornshucker.I'm positive that it's not cornshucker and that it is actually Cornhusker. Whether there is or is not an actual difference between shucking and husking I don't know, but I do know, from being a Michigander now living in Omaha, Nebraska, and also that their nick name is the Huskers, that Cornshucker is incorrect. In fact, simply being a college football fan I though most people would have known that, considering NE is one of the more storied programs in CFB history; but then again NE hasn't been too great (much to my delight, hehe) since the 90's so I guess it's understandable if you're younger.
