In an effort to change the somewhat bitter tone of recent threads, I propose a new topic that I think will give everyone a smile and reason for good natured jocularity.
Imagine a virtual pit into which your college mascot, starved and abused into a snarling rage, is slowly hoisted down to fight to the death with my college mascot.
In the first of such grudge matches, a gelded Texas longhorn, still bleeding from its evacuated sack, but relatively huge in size, and with pointy horns gleaming, is loaded onto a winch and slowly but surely cranked down into the pit where awaits...
its worst nightmare.
The fierce killing machine that is the Michigan wolverine, pound for pound the meanest and most rapacious species of rodentia the earth has ever known.
Alas, before the straps can even be removed from the pathetic cow, my wolverine has eviscerated it and made a fine snack of its entrails.
Next?
I invited you to hoist your own college mascot down into the arena where it shall quickly join the carcass of the cow.
(Guys! Isn't this fun!!!!)

The advantage to having attended a school with a mythical mascot is that I can assert that it would be stronger and more ferocious than any mere Longhorn (or Wolverine), and no one can dispute that statement.
If the might of a mascot is measured by the variety and volume of commercial merchandise emblazoned with its image, then the Kansas Jayhawk’s superiority is clearly established. In these parts, there is nothing that cannot be purchased with the imprint of the ever-smiling mascot.
Being a fan of large rodentia, however, I do admit an ever-so-slight amount of regret in not having attended a school with the mighty Capybara for its mascot...
