Mike The (Siberian) Tiger
Posted by Scipio Tex on December 11th, 2008 under Football
I love Bevo. He is the 4th best mascot in all of college football, but there are stronger choices.
My top 5 are:
5. Uga The Bulldog (Georgia)
4. Bevo The Longhorn (Texas)
3. Ralphie The Buffalo (Colorado)
2. Moishe The Clever Patent Attorney (Yeshiva)
However, whatever you think of LSU: its rampant cheating, general air of decadence, and paucity of students capable of four digits on the SAT, they know how to have a good time and they’ve got one badass mascot: behold – Mike The Tiger.
Apparently, it snowed three inches in Baton Rouge yesterday.
Some interesting facts:
- This is Mike VI
- He’s still a young sub-adult. When he’s full grown, he’ll go about 600 pounds
- His penis would make an excellent virility potion
- The likelihood of him mauling a drunken Cajun who tries to sprint across his enclosure on a dare from friends is around 87%

BTW — is that a white power tattoo on Sasquatch’s right shoulder.
Or is it one of those “native american” side of the van spray paint jobs? Either way it’s better than Luke Walton’s dancing bear.

CJD,
I’m not sure if it’s the worst job, but it’s the most disappointing ending. Talking heads are already calling it the most shocking (i.e. worst) loss in the tournament ever. 05-06, Kansas went down in the first round, but nothing like this……Can we at least call it the worst choke job ever to

If anyone in the BC bracket called this game they should immediately be hired as an assistant coach. Because that would be an act of pure witchcraft.

Yeah, my bracket is f#$ked.
So be it. It’s fun to watch how good these mid-major teams are. Upsets used to all be the same — a smaller team gets hot and hits 3s. Not now. These mid-majors flat-out beat highly ranked teams now.

Agreed. That’s why Dex would have fouled out. Shot-blocking is much less important that not allowing the other team to get into comfortable low post/rebounding position.

Awesome. KU is only going to make it one round farther than we did.

Ralphie over Bevo?
Scipio Tex said:

Yes. Ralphie over Bevo. No question. Ralphie is more dynamic and there’s always a chance he’ll get loose during his run and wreak havoc.

I’m convinced that the only reason Uga makes these sorts of lists is that he makes all the other similar lists the author reads. I don’t how he made the first list – I assume it was written by a Georgia grad. Can anyone name one cool thing about him?

Explain to me what is not excellent about a wheezing bulldog who reclines on ice packs during games and who once tried to bite a Tennessee WR’s nuts? The fans even have a cheer for him: “Damn Good Dog!” The sight of any short muzzled dog in a spiked collar and college affiliated sweater is pleasing to any heterosexual male. This is not debatable.
Seriously, what are you, a fucking cat lover?

I think that Bevo should be ranked above Ralphie for the sole reason that Ralphie has never (to my knowledge) taken a dump in the end zone on the winning team’s name while in the process of losing a Big XII Championship game. Sat in the end zone in the Alamodome and saw Bevo lay patties all over “Nebraska”.

Horn in Tyler makes a strong case. Are we sure Ralphie beats Bevo? I’ll concede it’s at least close.

FYI, UGA has also nipped at the Tennessee hound Rocky Top on Gameday, then turned around & farted in his face. He also nipped an Auburn receiver and a Mississippi state patrolman. The big scary mascots MIGHT wreak havoc. UGA comes through again & again.
Screw some drugged up tiger – UGA is #1.

UGA is a great mascot. Ralphie would make an excellent burger.

An english bulldog and a tiger have absolutely nothing to do with Georgia or Louisiana (unless you count the one in the cage at the gas station on I-10 just over the border).
The longhorn is one of the iconic symbols of the State of Texas. Sorry, it’s not even close.
Clearly you’ve never seen Bevo’s, I’ve Got My Game On, music video, which pushes him ahead of Ralphie.
RolloTamasi said:
December 12th, 2008 at 8:29 am
That’s false. “I’ve got my game on” isn’t even close to Ralphie’s run. His historic dump on Nebraska and likely dominance in a deathmatch with another mascot along with his iconic visage comprise the bulk of his case for no. 1.

December 12th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Ralphie is actually a she, like many of the majestic whales in our commercials!
Odd that there are so few sea creature mascots. Wouldn’t a giant salt water tank filled with sharks or barracudas in the end zone be impressive?

Ralphie wouldn’t make for good eating because buffalo meat is too lean. For a good steak or even a good burger, you need fat, damn it!
Buzzard Lips said:
December 13th, 2008 at 5:35 am
The reason Ralphie should never be ranked ahead of BEVO is simply… he’s got a real horn and she doesn’t.
I’ve lived in Baton Rouge and while I love the Tiger, he lives in a double walled cage and NEVER SEES THE FIELD.
IMO, that eliminates him from even being called a mascot….

(1) Kudos to Scipio for rejecting blatant Texas homerism and recognizing Ralphie. Bevo is great, iconic, horned, blah blah. Ralphie is a fucking buffalo stampeding around a field. No contest.
(2) I believe Georgia was once a British penal colony, giving it a faint tie to an English Bulldog. Enough to justify the #5 ranking.
(3) Thank you for leaving the idiotic Auburn war eagle off the list. Any school can end up with a respectable mascot if you get to just keep adding animals until something works. This has to break some sort of universal karmic mascot doctrine.

This has never worked for me. And “War Corn” didn’t catch on as a rallying cry either.

How can you vote Bevo behind Ralphie? I get the possibility of havoc wreakage argument but Bevo is on move pain killers and barbituates than Courtney Love at Chuck E Cheese on game day.
Imagine if the Wranglers let the largest mascot in college football run loose on nothing but pure instinct: Chaos is a word that comes to mind. Mike the Tiger is a great argument but come on, Scipio.
