RE: Best Mascot?
I've never understood the fascination/admiration with the big red blob as far as a mascot goes. I just don't get it, having said that, I will give credit where credit is due(which is easier said than done when WKU is the topic) WKU does the best job with their mascot. If we're just lining up still photographs of the mascot in costume WKU is bottom third, if we're actually watching the mascots in action, they're tough to beat and the true test is that this is always the case. They have a well established mascot program with high standards. At a lot of schools, the quality of mascot performance fluctuates from one year to the next depending on who the student is and some just aren't up to snuff, never seems to be the case at WKU

I wish they would have stuck with the old cartoon-ish costume. :muttering:
Horrible...
Awesome...
Troy only has one mascot costume? Is this common among Sun Belt institutions?
Really, N.T. ST. "Is this common among Sun Belt institutions?" As if North TX St wouldn't know what's "common in the Sun Belt?" Ya'll are really gonna go out that way? Maybe you should restrict your future comments to the cusa board . . . . By the way, Our Mascot can EAT your Mascot . .. Go Bobcats, Go SBC!
First, I see no need to call us anything other then UNT, NT, North Texas, or Mean Green. I have not referred to Texas State as anything other then their name on this board.
Second, UNT has a few Scrappy costumes. I thought this was common among schools.
Third, I can and will post anywhere I wish to. Texas State has yet to play one down in the Sun Belt. If someone needs to post on another board, I think it is you.

RE: Best Mascot?
Out of all those FAU ones, I like the 2nd one the most. Big Bad Burly Bird was the best.
That first one is the most vomit inducing thing I have ever seen. Third was ok, and the 4th is just behind number 2.

I think it's funny what the Cajun fans call their mascot.
I'll let one of them share what that is.

You would be hard-pressed (no pun intended) to find many of us who like the "dildeaux".

I'd say stAte and FAU. The old T-Roy was, in my opinion, the best.
