When you think of college football mascots you think of a symbol that represents your team and your school. There are many out there and many have ties to something in the history of the state or the university. We can all agree that the Spartan for example conjures up images of fierce warriors, the Wolverine a tenacious fighter, and the Gator a menacing ambush predator. On the other hand there are the mascots that do the opposite even though the team may rank among the best in the country. This article is meant to highlight those mascots that are less than ferocious. This will be a simple but fun topic and you guys can run with it. O.K. here's the question:
Which NCAA Football team has the Wimpiest mascot?................
Stay tuned for the crowning of the winner.
If you need a site listing the teams here's a good reference.

Syracuse Orangemen - I;m not really sure what an "orangeman" is - but there are few things in this world less intimidating than a big, fuzzy, smiling orange at a sporting event.

Vanderbilt Commodore. It might be intimidating to someone who is in the nautical mindset, but it isn't to rest of us who don't own a yacht.

Whe I read this, I googled masocots for the NCAA. These are a few of the "intimidating" ones that I found. The following three struck fear in my heart for sure.
University of California-Santa Cruz's Banana Slug
Xavier Univerity's Blue Blob
George Mason's Gunston

Miami Hurricanes may sound tough, but their mascot is a slender billed flightless swamp bird, the ibis. And somebody once told me the Virginia Tech Hokie is really a name for a castrated turkey. Like a capon is a castrated rooster. Never found anything to back that up, but that did not stop me from taking it and running with it.

As a USC Trojans fan I have got to go with the Oregon Ducks. I don't care how "tough" the mascot looks. How'bout'em' has a solid point with Vandy and the Commodores. But I do also believe a yuppy commodore in his giant yacht would run over and kill even the toughest of ducks.

Yeah, a commodore would run-over a bunch of ducks w/ his fleet.
I dunno, gamecocks kinda scare me a little bit. Some of those roosters are huge, and they could scratch with their talons and peck the crap out of you.
A terrapin is kinda wimpy, but Terrapin Beer is good. I just enjoy Brutus the buckeye b/c he's so funny looking.
