This weekend saw the greatest continuation in college football mascot tradition -- the wrinkly premiere of Uga VII. For those not in the know, the University of Georgia's Uga is a dog (pronounced "dawg") who is treated to an air-conditioned dog house and tailored jersey. And, like a medieval king his descendant rises to take his place upon his death.To commemorate this historic event, Sports Illustrated has released a list of the five greatest college mascots of all time.
Other college mascots we'd like to see recognized:
-- The Rhode Island School of Design Nads. As in "Go Nads!", which is probably the most popular sports team shirt ever designed by a fine arts school.
-- The NYU Violets. The fighting violets? Nope, just the Violets.
-- The Coastal Carolina Chanticleer, which we all know is a reference to a chicken in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales."
Did we miss anything? Let us know in the comments.
