Does your university have a funny or unusual mascot?

[CutiePie2000]

Hi Everybody,
I think most universities and colleges try to have a scary name, like "The Warriors", "The Lions", "The Tigers", "The Bears", "The Eagles", "The Hawks"...you know, sort of menacing sounding, so that other teams who play them will be all, "ooh, we have to play the Lions"....

Well, who can forget the movie PULP FICTION and the good ol' University of California - Santa Cruz and their beloved (yet not menacing) Banana Slug?

So, I have to ask...what is/was your college's mascot?

and here's a very interesting history about how the Banana Slug came to be the mascot of UC-SC! http://slugweb.com/slugweb/index.pht...tHistory.phtml
