<p>Yea, this was a great start, even if we could and will quibble over a Demon Deacon (talk about oxy-morons …sorta like jumbo shrimp or…) and whether the banana slug merits top 10 consideration. I concur with the Ohio State buckeye being bad, and defined by Webster as “a hairless nut of little or no value.” (Webster went to Penn State, you know. 
)</p>
<p>But I was disappointed that the jackass from Army wasn’t there, or the brass-balled billy goat of Navy, or the Student Prince of Heidelberg (what the heck is a “STUDENT PRINCE” anyways?!) or the best of all … the BIG RED TURKEY BUZZARD of Denison University! Now that’s a critter that’ll strike fear in the hearts of all Kenyon LORDS (you gotta be pretty self-important to name your mascot after God). Maybe the most appropo is Slippery Rock, where a great many alums have been referred to as such …dumb as “THE ROCK.” </p>
<p>btw, my wife’d best not read this one or I’m, well like Alabama …Roll Tide roll, round the bowl, and down the hole …</p>
