The Worst Mascots in College Football

Striking fear in your opponents is a colossal advantage and many teams are notorious for some robust mascots, while others are just fearful of another lackluster defeat.

In this edition, I will unravel the strangest, wildest, most bizarre, and most humorous mascots in college football.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy.

No. 5: Syracuse Orange

Syracuse has struck fear in their opponents for years with the one of the most intimidating mascots in college football.

This would explain why they’ve won about 30 games the past decade.

The Orange couldn’t take the beating, as pulp started spewing everywhere, which led to this on-field injury.

No. 4: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

Becoming an annoyance at a picnic is about the only damage a yellow jacket can do.

The albino eyes and scrawny eyes put this mascot over the top and generates laughter to every fan that gets the chance to witness this monstrosity in person.

No. 3: Ohio State Buckeyes

The Buckeyes are recognized nationwide for having one of the worst mascots in NCAA.

The head is almost twice the size of the entire body. What’s the deal?

The reason why they’re trying to rename themselves as just the “Bucks” is because they’re trying to cover up the fact that a buckeye is actually a plant.

Ohio State was accompanied by the Stanford Tree, Oregon’s Duck, and Syracuse’s Orange as the NCAA's Most Non-Threatening Mascots.

No. 2: Stanford Cardinal

I don’t know where to begin.

How about the fact that they’re recognized as the “Cardinal”, but notoriously known for their atrocious tree.

The Stanford Tree was included in an ESPN commercial, and we still don’t know the odd connection between tree and cardinal.

This abomination has given countless fans something to smile and snicker about when a landslide was at their footsteps.

No. 1: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers

It’s hard to scare a team away more than going winless. But you actually can, name yourself the Hilltoppers.

But don’t stop there, add in a side-splitting mascot so the fans can stay entertained while their team is being blown apart.

“Big Red” decided to answer the question we’ve all been wandering: What would the Kool-Aid man look like if he decided to go sugar-free and subsequently lose 40 pounds. OH YEAH!
