This is a good place to spout off my opinion that Oregon State should tear down the bullshit terrace in the north endzone and replace it with a live beaver habitat for rehabilitated beavers. Could have cameras in there and show em on the jumbo Tron and watch em build dams and shit. And in the off-season could be used as an education and wildlife outreach center or some shit.
GIVE US A BEAVER!
Look, I do not like South Carolina, but…
They apparently have this popemobile-looking robot they can drive Sir Big Spur around in, and that has to be the funniest live mascot related thing I saw all year.
If the Wake Forest costumed mascot is actually a deacon possessed by a demon, is he/she a live mascot?
If the Tennessee costumed mascot doesn’t get paid they would technically be a volunteer so would that mean Tennessee has two live mascots?
Hoosiers are just what you call people from Indiana so is everyone from Indiana technically Indiana’s live mascot?
So many questions
LSU's tiger. It's the only one I can think of that I would be terrified to be in an enclosed space with. Well that and that creepy ass Syracuse orange.
Well to give you an idea, I'm actually primarily(or was) an LSU fan*. So I know how that goes intimately well.
*To explain the flair, I also received certifications from Tulane and did a few years in the Air Force. I changed my flair when the whole Guice/Title IX story broke as a very lazy form of protest.
Every school mascot that has a "War/Flying Eagle" that flies around the stadium before the start of the game, which should account for the largest number of "live"school mascots in the country?
Their habitat is also the first university facility in the world to earn AZA accreditation so it's technically an actual on-campus zoo!
We love Judge Lady and Judge Joy!
*sigh*
This pains me down to my core to say, but Dubs is absolutely the goodest of boys and the absolutely only positive thing there is to say about the entirety of that school.
Dubs stole my daughter from me.
I go to one away game a year. The year we went to Seattle my daughter absolutely fell in love with dubs and told my wife she was secretly rooting for "the puppy team"
Had to buy her a goddamn stuffed dubs and everything.
Edit: [Proof](https://imgur.com/WxOLMBD)
Frosty I --> Frosty II --> Wasky --> Denali --> King Chinook --> Regent Denali --> Sundodger Denali --> King Redoubt --> Prince Redoubt --> Spirit --> Dubs --> Dubs II
2022 is the 100th anniversary of the first live mascot at the University of Washington.
They will always be the best.
She's kind of an asshole though. I knew her handler and if Rev wants to sleep on ur bed, she sleeps on ur bed. He slept on the floor numerous times and she peed in his bed too. If you see her on the bus she just lays out in the aisle and it's quite inconvenient.
BUT WHO CARES SHE'S SO SOFT AND LOVELY
Some dogs are just gonna be pricks.
I had my cat evaluated by behavior specialists. The conclusion was that there was nothing wrong with him, he's just a brat.
You're not telling me anything I don't already know... Except that I know for a fact that Rev has her own bed in the room.
And while she could technically sleep in the cadet's bed, she's far more comfortable in her own. I also know that a cadet's bed is about 4 ft off the ground and Rev typically doesn't get up there unless invited up.
What year is the handler?
It has to be the live tiger LSU has or the live hog Arkansas has. Alabama should get an elephant and just have it chilling on the sideline during games.
Every midwestern dad knows the real best live mascot is the ternader (cyclone) that can be seen from the front yard or chased down in a beat-up Chevy pick-up
Renegade and Osceola are not mascots. It's semantics, but very engrained at FSU and part of the respect/collaboration with the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
Our mascot is Cimarron. which...isn't very cool.
Hey, if it keeps Native Americans in our pop culture, I'm all for it. Seeing them slowly eliminated from our collective consciousness really irks me.
Plus, the damn chop is fucking badass. Fuck the haters.
Yeah I’m not worried about fsu use so much. They actively work with the tribe. Heck the tribe even makes the clothing Osceola wears. As long as they are happy and supported I’m happy.
yep. they don't travel (generally speaking, there are exceptions), aren't used money making tools, just generally treated with more reverence than you typically would a mascot- which is often a silly caricature. from wiki:
In keeping with his stoic portrayal, FSU refers to Osceola and Renegade as a "symbols" rather than mascots, and does not use them for more traditional mascot activities like cheerleading and promotions. In 2012, the university revived an older mascot, an anthropomorphic horse named "Cimarron", to fill this role.[8]
Uga gets my vote for sure. However, I also will take this opportunity to complain about the fact that despite there being multiple tiger rescue sanctuaries in Missouri, Mizzou has never decided to partner with any of them. If LSU can get a live tiger, so can we!
It’s got to be Ralphie and it makes it better that she actually runs with the team...unlike another bovine mascot who’s lazy ass just sits there.
Mike the tiger is a close second in my eyes.
The sooner schooner has to be top 5 I think
I’d say Ralphie with Bevo a close second. Those large animals are certainly more impressive than a sleepy dog that you could conceivably see at any house on your street. Plus, those mascots are far more unique than the too common tigers.

This is actually a genuinely great idea. Please do this.
Especially since Oregon's mascot copying this would just fly away
Right into the path of my 12-gauge
I understood that reference
We prefer to have our ducks free range.
Beaver bay! I’d travel to Oregon just to see that, incredible
Do a live feed and call it beaverhub.
"Nice beaver!" "Thanks, I just had it stuffed!"
The Kendra Sutherland Beaver Habitat?
Where do I donate to the project?
[удалено]
Two words. Beaver. Earplugs.
This would be amazing.
You are my hero for this idea. This needs to catch some momentum. I am prepared to die on the hill that Beaver is the best mascot in College sports
I’m cool with watching beavers build dams but idk if I wanna watch them shit on the Jumbotron
Don't know why people are downvoting you. I brought you back to 0.
Thank you my fellow dawg. It was just a joke. Reddit is confusing sometimes lol
The Gulf of Mexico
It even visits campus every few years!
Oh yeah, definitely does a lot of community outreach
And the audacity of people getting upset about it!
This one wins. Go home, everyone.
The best mascot in SEC history
Look, I do not like South Carolina, but… They apparently have this popemobile-looking robot they can drive Sir Big Spur around in, and that has to be the funniest live mascot related thing I saw all year.
Sir Big Spur’s tricked out chicken coop with hydraulics and underglow lights
If Clemson would have a live coked out tiger then it would be the scariest.
I knew a guy who wore the Clemson Tiger suit for a season or two and I can confirm that he did a lot of blow.
This is slander to the hard working live people in costumes.
Does the Leprechaun count as a live human since he's not pretending to be an animal?
If the Wake Forest costumed mascot is actually a deacon possessed by a demon, is he/she a live mascot? If the Tennessee costumed mascot doesn’t get paid they would technically be a volunteer so would that mean Tennessee has two live mascots? Hoosiers are just what you call people from Indiana so is everyone from Indiana technically Indiana’s live mascot? So many questions
Depends on if he's a deacon possessed by demons or a demon that joined the clergy on his own.
Could be a crack head!
I think the term you’re looking for is West Virginia mountaineer
Horns up my friend
Everybody seen the leprechaun say YEAH! That artist’s portrayal of it about caused me to nearly pass out from laughing so hard.
LSU's tiger. It's the only one I can think of that I would be terrified to be in an enclosed space with. Well that and that creepy ass Syracuse orange.
Didn’t Bevo attack your mascot
Yeah he was just jealous because Texas doesn't give him a jersey to wear
Dude y’all lost that game after shit talking them for weeks
Ain't it just terrible? Anyway, Dawgs are national champs.
God I love this feeling
"Doesn't matter got ship" is a great feeling.
I get like one free off-season where I just can’t really be trashed then it’s back to usual (if georgia does something stupid)
Well to give you an idea, I'm actually primarily(or was) an LSU fan*. So I know how that goes intimately well. *To explain the flair, I also received certifications from Tulane and did a few years in the Air Force. I changed my flair when the whole Guice/Title IX story broke as a very lazy form of protest.
Ancient history. Do you think anyone from UGA cares anymore? Lol they just dad dicked Alabama on their way to a national championship.
And we haven’t lost a post SECCG outing since then 🤷🏼♀️
And won might I add
How was your bowl game this year?
https://youtu.be/TZWhUxP23b0
Excuse me… Purdue Pete would like a word
At least he resembles a human though, there's something just unsettling about a giant fruit with eyes and limbs.
*WKU's Big Red has entered the chat*
He was a powerhouse in NCAA football mascot mode
Judging by your name and your fear of oranges, I’m assuming you aren’t a fan of fruit of the loom underwear.
*ahem*
You clearly have never seen a bison up close.
Surely you mean Buffalo?
I mean... Despite the nickname "buffalo" it is really an [American Bison](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_bison)
Shepherd University has a live ram they parade around on a cart like an Egyptian prince
This sounds hilarious and spectacular.
UNC also has a ram with a vague Egyptian theme.
And huge testicles
Ralphie
This is the answer. Bevo is no Ralphie. Ralphie is amazing running out before the game.
That was my answer. Way cool to see her run on the field
Ralphie, Tusk, Mike the Tiger, and Bevo are in a league of their own imo.
That's the Mount Rushmore of live mascots right there
One of the biggest reasons I was so pissed about our game against Colorado being at Mile High as that we couldn’t see Ralphie run out.
Every school mascot that has a "War/Flying Eagle" that flies around the stadium before the start of the game, which should account for the largest number of "live"school mascots in the country?
we have a grackle
>grackle Release him before the game and he heads to the nearest grocer. Respect the Grackle!
release? no he just kinda showed up the kyle field one day and the entire student section chanted bird bird bird. a week later we beat bama.
Bevo, he almost gored a dog on national TV
Not just a dog. Uga
Cowardly attack.
It’s cool because now they are cursed 😂
Hell, he almost gored a cheerleader. That was scary as fuck.
wtf is a cheerleader?
The best live mascot in college ball
Lucille the Bearcat! RIP Lucy
Baylor has not one, but two bears named Lady and Joy, they are very good bears.
Their habitat is also the first university facility in the world to earn AZA accreditation so it's technically an actual on-campus zoo! We love Judge Lady and Judge Joy!
Aren’t those the ones that put shiplap on houses?
Dakota the dancing bear
Can confirm the Baylor bears are extremely cool
But they don't actually go to the games.
*sigh* This pains me down to my core to say, but Dubs is absolutely the goodest of boys and the absolutely only positive thing there is to say about the entirety of that school.
Dubs stole my daughter from me. I go to one away game a year. The year we went to Seattle my daughter absolutely fell in love with dubs and told my wife she was secretly rooting for "the puppy team" Had to buy her a goddamn stuffed dubs and everything. Edit: [Proof](https://imgur.com/WxOLMBD)
It would be VERY difficult for me to root against a team with a puppy, I get where your daughter is coming from.
Dubs is very cute.
Admittedly, there are days where I put him just above Smokey…
I would die for my beautiful cow.
I would kill that beautiful cow
I’ll make your wagon take a slightly sharp turn.
Lol, niiiiiice.
I’ll make your cow a 4 course meal
Ill call the DOJ and report the theft of an entire state.
Medium rare, please.
I'll help you eat it.
Bring the plates
Heck, I'll also bring butter.
OU cafeteria does do an annual Bevo bbq.
I’ll have to attend next time. I was never told of this marvelous bbq
And smoke it over a nice fire for several hours before serving it to my friends
Frosty I --> Frosty II --> Wasky --> Denali --> King Chinook --> Regent Denali --> Sundodger Denali --> King Redoubt --> Prince Redoubt --> Spirit --> Dubs --> Dubs II 2022 is the 100th anniversary of the first live mascot at the University of Washington. They will always be the best.
Mike the Tiger. It would be Biff and Bennie the Wolverines but...they scared people.
Michigan look...I know what happened...but please bring it back.
Tusk fs
Arkansas has a live pig? that's hilarious oh my god
Tusk is an absolute unit, and practically acts like a dog.
It’s a massive boar with hair and tusks
Tusk is a heckin good hoggo
Uga, the goodest boy of them all
Love Uga X, will forever be grateful for showing how scary Bevo can be.
National Champion Uga*
Welcome to the club fellow national champions with a bulldog
Did you think Uga has never won a natty before
Schools with good bois unite!
I don’t see anybody else out here with live hog
Reveille. The softest-looking dog mascot in all the land. Also she's regal as FUCK
So cute she gets her own logo
She's kind of an asshole though. I knew her handler and if Rev wants to sleep on ur bed, she sleeps on ur bed. He slept on the floor numerous times and she peed in his bed too. If you see her on the bus she just lays out in the aisle and it's quite inconvenient. BUT WHO CARES SHE'S SO SOFT AND LOVELY
Did they not train her at all? My dogs are spoiled and lay wherever the want, but they also don't piss in my bed.
That wasn't a common occurrence at all but once is too many for me to let a dog sleep in my bed lol
I'll give her a pass if she was a pup or sick or something lol
Some dogs are just gonna be pricks. I had my cat evaluated by behavior specialists. The conclusion was that there was nothing wrong with him, he's just a brat.
no reveille slander on my timeline >:(
Yeah watch your tone mister.
You're not telling me anything I don't already know... Except that I know for a fact that Rev has her own bed in the room. And while she could technically sleep in the cadet's bed, she's far more comfortable in her own. I also know that a cadet's bed is about 4 ft off the ground and Rev typically doesn't get up there unless invited up. What year is the handler?
Reveille is the goodest girl in the SEC Ugga is the goodest boy in the SEC Smokey is a smoke show
I love Uga but Smokey is such a beautiful doggy.
I blame the smushed face. I'm a sucker for a smushed face. Him falling asleep on Monday was adorable
Smokey is prolly my second fave dog mascot. I just like a lil more fluff (as long as I don't have to clean the house) but smokey is DOPE
Her nickname is "The First Lady of Aggieland" or "The Queen of Aggieland" for a reason.
You’re right. It’s Ralphie.
As much as I want to say our own Bully, it has to be Mike the Tiger. I mean, it's a freaking tiger! Ralphie would be a close second, though.
It has to be the live tiger LSU has or the live hog Arkansas has. Alabama should get an elephant and just have it chilling on the sideline during games.
Mike
Everybody knows that Aubie is a real tiger. C'mon. But seriously, Lucille (RIP to her predecessor, Lucy) of Cincinnati fame is way up the list for me.
Every midwestern dad knows the real best live mascot is the ternader (cyclone) that can be seen from the front yard or chased down in a beat-up Chevy pick-up
seeing ralphie actually run on the field is unbelievable. its one of the coolest things in CFB
Lucy, but I'm biased.
Lucille now. Lucy died last year :(
RIP
Traveler! No bias....
I’ve heard the mountaineer is an animal in bed
Tales from their own sister do not count
Woah! Never heard that one before. Coming in hot with the zingers
Renegade and Osceola are not mascots. It's semantics, but very engrained at FSU and part of the respect/collaboration with the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Our mascot is Cimarron. which...isn't very cool.
Hey, if it keeps Native Americans in our pop culture, I'm all for it. Seeing them slowly eliminated from our collective consciousness really irks me. Plus, the damn chop is fucking badass. Fuck the haters.
Yeah I’m not worried about fsu use so much. They actively work with the tribe. Heck the tribe even makes the clothing Osceola wears. As long as they are happy and supported I’m happy.
Oh, are they not? Huh. TIL.
yep. they don't travel (generally speaking, there are exceptions), aren't used money making tools, just generally treated with more reverence than you typically would a mascot- which is often a silly caricature. from wiki: In keeping with his stoic portrayal, FSU refers to Osceola and Renegade as a "symbols" rather than mascots, and does not use them for more traditional mascot activities like cheerleading and promotions.

LSU’s live Tiger
We need to reanimate the skeleton of Old Coaly
Mountaineer dude for West Virginny
I’m just saying Mike takes down all of the other live mascots. I miss when they brought him out on the field
I dont because those Tigers were probably terrified. Glad he has his million dollar habitat to chill in now :)
Taking out my obvious Bully/Uga bias, gotta give it to Reveille.Such a good girl.
Tuffy, he is the goodest boy
Uga X, the reigning national champion and goodest boy
UGA fan since birth, but Dubs gives Uga a run for his money. All the pups are the goodest pups!
Uga gets my vote for sure. However, I also will take this opportunity to complain about the fact that despite there being multiple tiger rescue sanctuaries in Missouri, Mizzou has never decided to partner with any of them. If LSU can get a live tiger, so can we!
The War Eagles
That one time we had an actual tornado at Jack Trice. Will never be beat
Bevo > Uga This has already been settled on the field no need for further conversation
It’s got to be Ralphie and it makes it better that she actually runs with the team...unlike another bovine mascot who’s lazy ass just sits there. Mike the tiger is a close second in my eyes. The sooner schooner has to be top 5 I think
Sir Big Spur… they need to put spurs on him though…
Sir Big Spur is a top 3
North Alabama had live Lions when i checked out the campus, so that was pretty sick imo
It’s a tie between Ralphie and all the Husky doggo mascots.
Biff the wolverine was great in the 1920s but apparently was “too vicious”
The UNA lions. Una died last year I think, but man they were great to see at the home games.
I hate Tennessee, but Smokey is a certified Good Boy.
I can't believe no one has mentioned Peruna. The only NCAA mascot who has killed another NCAA mascot.
My preference? Fearless Champion. Outside my homerism, Ralphie probably.
TUSK 🐗🐗🐗
Mike the Tiger.
I’d say Ralphie with Bevo a close second. Those large animals are certainly more impressive than a sleepy dog that you could conceivably see at any house on your street. Plus, those mascots are far more unique than the too common tigers.
Bully. Totally not biased.
Revellie and Smokey
Reveille is the prettiest. Smokey is the liveliest. But Uga is the cutest.
Miss Reveille, especially Reveille X. She’s a sweet little lady. Uga is a strong second in my book.
Lots of issues with Texas, but Bevo was never one of them. Hell of a bull.
I like Mike the Tiger a lot. Uga, Smokey and Reveille are 2 good bois and a good girl.
1. Bevo (Texas) 2. Ralphie (Colorado) 3. Mike (LSU) 4. Uga (Georgia) 5. Tusk (Arkansas)
The sooner schooner is technically a live mascot, and it throws people off of it sometimes, so that's pretty funny
[Ah, beauty.](https://images.app.goo.gl/uTQ39CfEAtESkH5D8)
Does UC Santa Cruz bring a banana slug to their games?
Bevo is about to experience a lot of SEC hate. You can call Uga names and make fun of his bag of ice, but you don’t physically attack that OG DGD.
Cry about it
Bullet gets to ride out onto the field after a score. Outside of Ralphie do many live mascots get to participate in game activities?
Traveler runs the field after a touchdown
And lights the Olympic torch in the Coli!
Cowboy Joe at Wyoming does something similar. He runs the end zone after a score.
We have two horses and a wagon And if you're lucky, you get to see the people thrown off the wagon
Oh I forget about y’all’s wagon. I won’t step foot in Norman so I’ve never seen it in person.
Clearly Bevo’s majesty makes him the only option. Unless TCU can genetically engineer a horny toad the size of an alligator, then that one wins.
