Cal-Irvin Ant Eaters is awesome! Second only to Cal - Santa Cruz Banana Slugs.

Why do western schools tend to pick not-so-fearsome mascots? Banana Slugs, Anteaters, Ducks, Beavers, Gophers, Badgers, Jack Rabbits, etc...

I figured you would be partial to Hawaii's mascot......

Have not seen any of them, but UVA's has to be near the top of the bad ones.

It's generally a good idea to read something before you comment on it

Xavier has a blue blob mascot? L.O.L. that's just pathetic.

Manhattan deserves to lose tonight for that LAME team name and lacking a mascot.

You should be afraid of Badgers, Atrain. They are mean little beasts.

Isn't their mascot Jeff Gordon? I'm not into NASCAR Drivers

Purdue Pete is AWFUL. Met him a couple of years ago at the girls tourney. His suite consist of a helmet and then a uniform of whatever sport he's working.

Other than that, this list completely whiffed. First off, Oklahoma's mascot is NOT called Sooner Schooner. Sooner Schooner is the name of the WAGON that the two horses pull during pre-game for football. They have two mascots, one is named Boomer and the other is named Sooner. Those are also the names of the horses that pull Sooner Schooner.

Chauncey is a great mascot, not sure how he ended up on there. That picture of Blue Devil has to be 10 years old. I would say he's up there with Aubie in terms of best mascots in the country. A lot of the personality that I put into Sparky is a combination of Aubie and Blue Devil.

Lastly, have they actually watched Brutus? At all? Brutus is great. This is his video from nationals:

If you want a top ten list of the worst mascots at the tournament, this is more accurate:

1. Notre Dame Leprechaun - He does absolutely nothing. He's just some small, Irish, red-headed, meatball. Actually...that sounds like me.

2. Purdue Pete - Mentioned why earlier.

3. Bruiser the Bruin (Belmont) - The most uncoordinated bear with an over-sized head.

4. The Wofford Terrier - There are reasons why your mascot shouldn't look identical to your logo. He looks like the cross between a bulldog and a raccoon.

5. Will D. Cat (Nova) - I'm bias on this one. Meet these guys and you will seriously question the academic integrity of this school.

6. Valparaiso Crusader - Sorry but mascots should have eyes. And not like the previous Crusader. He looked like an IT nerd who registered himself on the sex offender registry.

7. TC (Northern Iowa) - He looks more like that character from How to Train Your Dragon than a Panther...

8. Pistol Pete (NM ST) - Fun Fact, I believe there are FOUR mascots named Pistol Pete in this year's tournament.

9. Jack the Bulldog (Gtown) - Imagine Duke Dawg from JMU but grayer and naked with a hat.

10. Boise Bronco - If Mark Warner smiled and was black, he'd be the official mascot of Boise State.
