SI: The Best Mascots in College Football (Goldy Gopher #25)

[BleedGopher]

per SI:

When your coach (inset) looks like your mascot, you're going to make the list. Apologies to Bucky Badger, but when Bret Bielema left for Arkansas, it bumped him right off the Top 25. Bonus points for Goldy's profile on the Minnesota site.

what a bunch of BS. How does goldy not beat out the generic looking alabama elephant and the dumb inflatable nebraksa kid? The Stanford Tree? If you get upset at a Reusse column, this should enrage you.

Who the hell put that together? Some of them aren't even mascots.

Horrible list.

 

[Monty519]

I might be biased, but I think he should easily be top 15, if not top 10.

Hasn't Goldy won two national mascot championships in recent years?

 

[Dr.Don]

Goldy might be #25 on the SI list, but Goldy is #1 in our hearts. Long Live GOLDY!!!

The most popular rodent on the face of the earth.

GO GOPHERS!!!

At least we didn't lose to Thundar, the North Dakota State Bison mascot.

Goldy is the #1 "stuffed" mascot by far, but it is hard to put him above the buffalo in colorado, the sooner in Okie and the Bulldog in Georgia and the Fighting Artichoke from Scottsdale AZ CC!

Goldy's won two NCAA mascot titles. Period, end or story. And by the way, F--k Wisconsin and that skunk mascot.

How Goldy was below anything that looks like this is ridiculous. Is the pepper just supposed to be fat, or does it have a weird androgenous semi-large chest thing going on?
