LSU and Colorado have the best mascots without a doubt...

followed by Georgia, Auburn and any other schools that have LIVE mascots.

Best non-realistic mascot is BIG RED by Western Kentucky. Hilarious!

Tigers have been my favorite animal ever since I was little(wolf, alligator, and then shark follow behind. So hell yeah I think a live tiger beats the hell out off every other mascot except for the FSU one(love that one).

Should be #2 behind the Chief. What's so special about a bulldog? There are about 15 colleges with live bulldogs for mascots. UGA's is probably in the worst of shape, too. Only going to live about 3 more years probably.

The only one I really have a problem with is the Georgia Bulldog.

When I first came to Louisiana to attend LSU, I developed a taste for pickled okra . . . now I've learned from this thread that they can fight!

Damn. The stuff you can learn from the rant!

remember leaving an LSU game some years back and listening to the post game show on the radio. A lady calls in and ask why they don't let mike out the cage and put him on a leash . Think the radio host responded with something like 'because he's a tiger'

A live Bengal Tiger is a $3 million habit that shames most full size metropolitan zoos in America?

Yes.

All you have to do is bring friends from out of town, or listen to visiting fans form other programs talk when they walk up to the thing and see Mike in there. It's practically absurd that LSU even has such a thing. Comparing it to a dog anyone could own, and a horse with a guy riding it seems silly. The only ones even comparable would be BEVO (again, it's a fricking cow) and the Buffalo from Colorado.

That being said, who really gives a frick what SI has to say about it?

What would you like Mike to do? Have you ever seen a nature show with male tigers? Having him laying there doing nothing is exactly accurate to what they do

I don't understand being upset about 3rd in a ranking like this.

I can't argue one way or the other about the seminole, that shite is cool.

But when you're upset about #3 in a ranking like this you're really working in semantics.

I liked when Uga lunged at that Auburn player, and I think he deserves top 10 even though there are lots of bulldogs. I'd put Ralphie ahead of Bevo, and I like the Sooner schooner higher than 15. I saw the Osceola entrance at a big Miami-FSU game and that was electric.

I don't mind FSU being number 1. But Uga at 2?

The bulldog is the most common mascot in NCAA D1
