Mascot Hall of Fame

[pcgd]

How has nobody mentioned the Stanford Tree of the Syracuse orange thing?

The Tree is awesome.  Didn't it used to be a drunk student who would build it him (or her) self and then get into real fights with the other mascot?  I think so.

Other than that...Barry Melrose is a good mascot.

How can the Syracuse guy go into the mascot hallf of fame if no one knows his name? Well other than me, and the people who go to Syracuse. But Im sure half of them dont even know it. Its Otto the orange in case you were wondering.

He's still classic.

It was tounge in cheek more than anything.

I don't mean to toot the Vikings' horn here, but the Vikes really did have a cool mascot when they had that guy dressed in furs, a Viking helmet, a sword and shield prowling the sidelines. He should be considered for the hall of fame.

the second class of Mascots will be inducted on August 15th, my question is who should be the second class? The Mascot Hall of Fame already includes, The Gorilla, The San Diego/Famous Chicken, and the Phillies Phanatic. My choice would be Mr. Met and Youppi.

Ideas for 2006 inductees:

Fred Bird (St Louis Cardinals)

Stanford Tree

Otto the Orange (Syracuse U.)

Brutus (Ohio State U.)

Big Red (Western Kentucky U.)

...They will undoubtedly ignore the CFL and most of the CFL's longtime mascots (and former ones too) deserve to be in something like this-

Ralph the Dog, Gainer, Whatsis name in Montreal, and what's their name in Winnipeg ( )

that would be buzz and boomer for winnipeg.

I concur.

One of the few cross-sport mascots. A real great.

Judging by the eyelashes, Boomer is a "Boomette."

i'd induct Mr.Met and Billy The Marlin

[CZzyzx41]

hehe...I read that at first as "Billy the Martin". Dude was crazy for sure but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call him a mascot.

There's a ton of deserving mascots. Louie the Seal, The Friar, Mr Met, Mr Red, Youppi, Swoop, Sparti, Montezuma, the FSU Seminole, Duke Blue Devil, Otto the Orange and a ton more that I can't even remember.
