What about Purdue Boilermakers?!?
UC San Diego's official mascot is Triton. The unofficial is the Sun God.
Here's a couple links to some pics:

Nobody really knows what Triton is until they see the picture. The tour guides on campus always say "Triton is Ariel's dad in the Little Mermaid." That clears up any confusion.
The Sun God is a replica of a sculpture in France. It's a little scary looking, but every year there's a huge festival held in its honor!
