mamato4 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 DH, DS, and I went to an accepted students day last Saturday. The mascot comes out and for the life of me, I could not figure out what it was. :confused1: Forgot about the mascot when the speeches started. Mascot comes out again and I had to ask DH, "What is the mascot supposed to be? A pill?" "It's a hockey puck, dear." It was Puckman. Boy, did I feel like an idiot. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Some college mascots are so strange... Years ago, I was watching a Virginia Tech football game with my mom. She asked, "What's a Hokie?" After I told her she asked if I was serious. Does she think that I would make that up on my own? :huh: ETA: After a quick google image search: FTR, OP, I wouldn't have known what Puckman was either. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well, how were you to know? Until he turned sideways, for all you knew he could be Oreoman. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 At least I can just say, "Rah,Rah, Yellow jackets!" - and I got them both covered. (LOL) You're covering those of us with students at URoc too... thanks! :hurray: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen in VA Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My daughter is transferring to a college whose mascot is a Fighting Pickle! It's actually a cute pickle -- complete with sword and tutu and a chapeau! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elise Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My daughter is transferring to a college whose mascot is a Fighting Pickle! It's actually a cute pickle -- complete with sword and tutu and a chapeau! That pickle has come a long way, let me tell you! I graduated from the high school program (piano performance) a loooong time ago, and back then it was just your garden variety mascot. :tongue_smilie: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 A hockey puck can be a mascot??? That's just silly. You're excused for not knowing. Mascots should be recognizable; tigers, for instance, make ideal mascots. Inanimate objects? Not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well, how were you to know? Until he turned sideways, for all you knew he could be Oreoman. Or Rock Stop-man (cello). Or Frozen Hamburger Patty-man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 You aren't crazy - it looks like a pill! The state math & science high school mascot is a unicorn. I'm off to look at images for the Fighting Pickle. ETA: Wait - the unicorn and flying pickle belong to the same state. ETAA: Love, love, love the flying pickle! I might have to have her get a t shirt for me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My high school mascot was a hat. Seriously. Some 30+ later the local paper still has articles calling for a change there. In order, my colleges had a bear, a miner, and a wolf. Not too bad. DS's school has a lion. I want a school with something like a Fighting Pickle! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel-in-CA Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My college had a bear in a kilt. A U.C. school with a bit of its own personality. The Highlanders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen in NY Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 WARNING: THE FIRST ONE MAY BE OFFENSIVE!!!!! http://www.campusexplorer.com/Top-10-Weirdest-College-Mascots/ Um... wow! And here I was thinking that RIT's old 'Techmen' moniker was a little strange. Little did I know..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
