I attend Boston University - home of the TERRIERS.
OK - now I understand that the Boston Terrier is a fairly distinct breed of dog or whatever . . . but seriously, our mascot is a tiny little dog. Not that killer. The actual mascot is this cartoon dog, trying to look all tough, but it's still a 6lb short-hair terrier. Weak - but not as weak as the MIT Engineers or Harvard Crimson, which just suck as mascots.
The Crimson, by the way, have one of those sorta-fuzzy big-headed suits that a guy wears around of sporting events . . . no, not of anything crimson: it's a suit of John Harvard, puritanical 'founder' of Harvard University. He looks like the old Padres friar guy, really stupid looking with a cane and tall-ass top hat, and everything.
The University of Iowa is the Hawkeyes - which actually can refer to a couple of things apparently, but we'll just leave it at that.
And finally, I believe University of Missouri-Kansas City is the Fighting Kangaroos - just bizarre, almost cartoonish.
