I can't believe this and it's certainly going to upset OSU (Oklahoma State University) students, fans and alumni. A recent survey has voted Pistol Pete as the worst college mascot in the country.
The 2013 NCAA Tournament is upon us, and sure, the games are fun but we're more interested in the battle raging on in the bleachers.
Student body against student body. Alumni against alumni. Fans against fans. Bands against bands in battles of brass...
It's surprisingly rough being a mascot these days. Sure, they're the awesome side entertainment at sporting events, but that puts a heck of a lot of pressure on them. Think about it-- mascots are constantly forced to cartwheel on ledges, do backflips in front of thousands of people and just be downright stupid. It can be awful, especially when things go wrong. Cue: mascot fails.
Just when you thought you'd seen every awesome sports mascot ever, allow us present the Deutsche Eishockey Liga mascot, "Sharky."
Sharky is the official mascot of the Kölner Haie (Cologne Sharks), and he just might be the best break-dancing giant shark we've ever seen...
