Best College Mascot Names

In honor of the NFL Draft tomorrow, I would like to know your favorite, if not favorite unusual, college mascot name?

Mine are a tie between

The University of California, Santa Cruz Banana Slugs

and the
Delta State Fighting Okra

Yessssssssssssssss!

My school recently started a club baseball team, and I went to a game last week. It was so much fun rooting for the slugs. You know those chants where one person yells something then the crowd says something in response? We kept going "Banana!" "Slugs!" Yay!!

Here is your Geoduck


Ok, I just read what a Geoduck is. And, I can honestly say the mascot is much more attractive than the real thing.

Didn't we just do this a couple of months ago?

I guess it wasn't quite the same question: Catchy College Nicknames/Mascots

My school's mascot is the Golden Flash. The physical character is a bird, but I'm not sure how that relates to a Flash or what a Flash is.

That's like how Akron are the Zips, but the physical character is a kangaroo in an Akron tee shirt.

I'm riding a horse or have become a horse? A horse riding a horse, maybe?

Actually, I was simply pointing out that we'd had a similar conversation a few months ago, thinking maybe someone might actually want to look back at what was said then.

I'm not the one with the problem, or with the underwhelming self-importance, Tom.

Dahhhhhhhhhhh I hate you guys. Just kidding, the love is there. I was thinking, "She can't be serious..." We could change some of the words to Kappa songs though!
