    I mean a Hurricane is going to flatten any animal or historical archetype.

    Until some NCAA team names itself the Black Holes or the Solar Flares or the False Vacuums.

    As a Husky fan, the rivalry runs deep enough to ruin Thanksgiving dinners.

    The Providence Friar…fucking horrifying. I wouldn’t go head-to-head with that, nothing would.

    Finally, a fun question.

    I don’t fuckin’ have an answer, because I couldn’t confidently name even a single college mascot, but it’s nice that it feels like you have a soul.

    I think all the Tigers 🐅 would form a nice pack. Would certainly eat all the birds and turtles.

    The tree is gonna get chopped down — unless we’re going to go with a bird and somebody might get pecked or something. I don’t know. And then the Duck might lose interest and just fly away and get out of there, which may be good advice under the circumstances. The Husky, no chance. The beaver, we’ll see how long that beaver can hold his breath. The Ute, again we’re back to is he on horseback? Does he have a bow and arrow? Did he trade for a rifle? I mean, you know, because if the Ute’s got a rifle, there’s some definite problems.

    And you’d have to get one of those Harry Potter activists to read up on how you kill a Sun Devil because there’s a lot of outside stuff there. Just as far as a beast alone, a buffalo’s going to be pretty hard to tangle with. I mean, a buffalo’s utterly outstanding. Did I leave any of them out?

    Well, if we are doing animals, the University of Montana Grizzles would stand a fair chance.

    I mean UAB has a Dragon so that’s tough to top

    Drexel is the dragons.

    Among actual living things, it’s probably up there.

    Like the conceptual mascot, or like the mascot on the sidelines?

    If it’s the latter, I think USC’s horse riding sword guy could fuck up all the guys running around with big fuzzy heads. Bevo could kick some ass if live mascots count.

    Yellow Jacket hives regularly survive hurricanes, and I’m not sure there’s any mascot that could endure a sustained attack from a sufficiently-large hive.

    I know the Badger won’t win, but it’s gonna do a lot of damage before it loses.

    Syracuse University’s Otto the Orange.

    Sure, he may look like a cute little piece of fruit, but no one real knows the destructive power of a sentient Orange.

    If it’s actual animal mascots that exist by teams, Baylor has two live black bears on campus, so that’s gonna be hard to beat.

  25. nanasnuggets Avatar

    I may be a Badger, but I’d have to say Michigan for the win. Wolverines are badass.

    UC Santa Cruz – the Banana Slugs. They would just slime the opponents.

    Not  football, but based on this video, the Alaska Nanooks would destroy everyone else, even the hurricanes and cyclones.

    Well, to be fair, there’s only one mascot in NCAA history that has LITERALLY killed another mascot. Don’t count out the SMU mustang.

    How do you define a fight? Because Purdue has a train for a mascot so good luck against that thing. Not to mention that if this turns into a tag team event, we got Purdue Pete with his bottomless pit of a stare for a substitute.

    Whatever the thing is that WKU has as their mascot.

    Seminoles are technically still unconquered. They eat Gators and live through hurricanes routinely. They have the largest cattle herd in the nation.

    They are clearly the winner

    Does a duck stand a chance? Fuck no

    Am I going to pick it anyway? Fuck yes

    West Virginia Mountaineer. He has an actual gun and isn’t wearing some crazy foam outfit that you can’t see out of.

    If you’re counting the mascot itself I think it would be UAB cause dragons. But if you’re counting it as the concept like Alabama Crimson Tide or Miami Hurricanes then it is undoubtedly Stanford. The hurricanes and other weather patterns will always destroy the other mascots but don’t last forever. The hurricane will die out. The tide will become low. The wave will hit the shore. But Stanford is the color Cardinal. It can never be killed or die out and so wins by default.

    Once again Stanford proves themselves as geniuses.

    Plus, when was the last time you saw just one Yellowjacket? Practically speaking you are guaranteed to be fighting a whole horde of those assholes.

    I feel like we’ve done this many times before. Purdue is a goddamn train, and Miami is in a league of it’s own with a Hurricane. I think all others are a tier below.
