Top Five College Mascots
Few mascots are as original as the Stanford Tree. With the return of college football, this also signals the return of something very important: The University of Georgia, recently introduced UGA VII, the latest in a long line of hairy dawgs, causing great celebration and attention. At their best, mascots should inspire and unite. Here are five favorite college mascots.
1. UGA: UGA VII will have a lot to live up to, considering the bite of some of his predecessors.
2. Ralphie: When Colorado's multi-ton Bison comes barreling out onto the field, it's a pretty intimidating sight. Especially when stuff like this happens.
3. The Hawks: St. Joe's mascot is the epitome of perpetual motion, flapping its arms nonstop as long as it's in view.
4. The Stanford Tree: Since the school's nickname is actually a color, the school uses a person in a tree costume to stand around and ironically represent the university. Still, the Tree backs down from nobody.
5. Chief Osceola: Before every game, Florida State's mascot gallops onto the field atop a horse and chucks a flaming spear into the ground.
I would have to add: Brutus Buckeye, Sparty, Buffalo (Colorado), Florida Gator, The Trojan Horse, This would be my 5.

Great post! Love hearing about the best mascots. Some people hate them, but I always enjoy what they bring to the game. Pretty athletic what they do out there too! I found a fun ranking of all the mascots of the NBA and decided to search for more on them. That's how I found yours.
Thanks for the post! Loved it. Here's the ranking I stumbled upon if you're interested: http://www.tchuddle.com/2011/03/happy-birthday-crunch/
