Talk:List of U.S. college mascots
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page is actually two different lists, namely college "nickname/mascots", like the Cal-Irvine Anteaters, and specific incarnations of these mascots, like Texas A & M's Reveille.
For example, University of Georgia's mascot is the bulldog, but the incarnation is called "Uga".
- I disagree with the statement above. A mascot is the incarnation. "Bulldogs" is a team name, not a mascot. From Webster - mascots a mascot is "a person, animal, or object adopted by a group as a symbolic figure..." So on this page, all of the team names should be removed, and only specific mascots should be mentioned. --Sarnacke 14:35, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
I've resisted putting Bevo (mascot) on this list, because I don't want him getting entangled in such a mess. :) -- Decumanus | Talk 16:44, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Definition?
What exactly is the definition of "unusual" college mascots? I took it to mean ones that aren't incredibly common (such as "Lions" or "Bears"), but I think other people might consider the definition to be "unique to a single team". Is there any consensus on this issue?

[edit] Gonzaga Bulldogs and Washington Huskies
I added the Washington Huskies but when I added the Gonzaga Bulldogs someone deleted it. I was wondering why the Gonzaga Bulldogs got deleted. --Contrib 17:26, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Rename?
The rename of this article makes little sense. It is not a logical search term; I would not look for "post-secondary mascots" while watching college sports. Does anybody disagree? Otherwise, I'm putting in motion to revert the rename. —C.Fred (talk) 23:57, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
