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”.

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.

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.

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?

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.
