Can You Name The College Mascot?
I’m a Rice Owl, a pretty standard mascot. Maybe your school mascot is one of the top twelve most common: eagles, tigers, bulldogs, panthers, knights, lions, bears, hawks, cougars, pioneers, warriors, or wildcats.
Here are some odd, interesting, and unique college mascots. (It might be fun to see how many of these your college sports fans know.)

I always thought the Tulane Green Wave and the UTEP Miners were rather odd.
