Apparently, the perennial sophomore is unsexy.

Here's a link to the full lists of mascots:

At least Oski didn't make the list of worst mascots.

It may be sacrilege to say this, but I do think we could use a mascot upgrade. Oski could use a new outfit and a better name. This has nothing to do with whoever is in the Oski costume since I have seen some really great Oskis. There was one a few years ago that was especially animated and funny.

But let's face it, the Big O is frumpy and I still don't understand why we have a mascot named after a yell from 100+ years ago. At least get the poor bear a girlfriend. He may need some help there, however, since he lacks sex appeal according to the folks at Quality Logo Products.

I'd put the Quality Logo Products logo on the list of worst logos. Not very imaginative and very squarish.

Nice to see the Furd tree among the worst, but it should be ranked worst of the worst.

What we need is a mascot that will be popular with Millennials, Gen Z and, looking forward... what's after that... the Doomed Generation? I'm certainly no oracle on what this might entail. Oski declares pronouns? Oski looks like an iPhone 23?

Certainly a new set of trendy outfits that change, game by game. For example, for the Nevada game, Oski should come out Full Taliban: sandals, whatever-that's-called-head-gear, AK-47... People would come to games just to see the latest outfit!

Star this post if you think Oski is sexy.

Its the same reason people who spent 2 years at Cal still wear Cal hats and go to Cal football games 50 years later.

Tradition matters, especially with college sports.

Oops, I was thinking of LAST month, before they got the free upgrade.

Thanks to the poll, I realized there are Furries among college sports fans.

Always a great reason to keep doing the same thing ad infinitum.

Didnt you graduate almost a half century ago?

Dont you still post on a site dedicated to discussing a children's game played by people a third of your age?

Are you being ironic?

3 things:

1. Why is ASU's Sun Devil offensive? Because it has the word "devil" in it? But a sun devil is a whirlwind - typical of a desert habitat. Why would anyone find a desert phenomenon offensive?

2. The Stanford Tree is not the school's mascot - it is the mascot of their "marching" band.

3. Who cares if a mascot is sexy or not? I'd rather a mascot NOT be sexy seeing as how often they interact with little kids.

Especially the Oski costume they plan on rolling out in 2023:

3 replies:

1. It's more about "the shocker". Google it.

2. You spelled Stanfurd wrong.

3. I could be wrong, but you may need to check for a faulty sarcasm meter.

I certainly hope that Oski was disciplined for Conduct Unbecoming a Mascot, unless of course it was excused by some sort of exempted medical condition ( like getting hit by a cable car that then resulted in this compulsive behavior)
