Mascots...

[big69]

Who has the most interseting, or intimidating, or funniset mascot?

[CentralTxFan]

How about this question....is there any district out there that DOESN'T have a bulldog in it? Seems bulldog is the most popular mascot.

[Buckeye80]

Most unusual mascots I've ever heard of in Texas, top five:

5. Frost Polar Bears; Polar Bears? HUH??
4. Springtown Porcupines; Why?
3. Hamlin Pied Pipers; Intimidating, ARRRGGHH
2. Killeen Kangaroos; Scary, OOOHHHHH!!!!
And #1 has got to be the most feared and deadly creature known to man:

1. THE FIGHTIN' UNICORNS OF NEW BRAUNFELS; Careful that horn is sharp!!!

There's also a school in San Antonio called the "Fightin' Buttons" though I can't remember the school

The buttons belongs to Central Catholic High School...that was started because it is run by brothers of the priests who run St Mary's and St Mary's is the Rattlers. The button being the part of the rattle snake that makes the noise. Can you imagine that mascot? Not meant to offend anyone who goes to Central C. My dad is an alumn!

[Buckeye80]

WOW!!! You learn something every day. I just wonder what the cheerleaders bloomers look like! Do they have little rattlers or what?

[CentralTxFan]

Buckeye80:
WOW!!! You learn something every day. I just wonder what the cheerleaders bloomers look like! Do they have little rattlers or what?In my dad's day it was totally male. Even more interesting huh? Wonder what their bloomers looked like? :D

[xlr8tor]

One of the most interesting or wierd or funny, depending on how you look at it is the 2A Winters Blizzards. Seems appropriate with the name of the town. Even more interesting, wierd, or funny is that thier school song or fight song (can't remember which, although I think it is the fight song) is "Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland." Just my take.

[hornet_06]

Our mascot is the funniest. We all love her.. she just has major knee surgery in July and is out there just having a blast....
Go Hornets!

[Ray_BearKat]

How about the: Arlington Bowie Volunteers, because volunteers really scare me. There's something about people helping other people that really strikes fear in my eyes.

[District303aPastPlayer]

District 30-3A has no bulldog or eagle.
Sinton Pirates
Taft Greyhounds
Mathis Pirates
Aransas Pass Panthers
Ingleside Mustangs
West Oso Bears

and ya'll forgot about the Progresso Fightin Red Ants...
The Buttons of Central Catholic are sitll all male... they have a sister school... Providence High School... Their rivals are the Shamrocks of Incarnate Word HS and the guys are the Yellowjackets of St. Anthony's High School...

[MonkeyJoe]

hutto hippos!...doesnt that just make u laugh...?

[Buckeye80]

[SADAWG]

Taylor Ducks

[footballgal]

Not common are: the Tarpons of Port Isabel, Floydada Whirlwinds and how 'bout another west Texas team, the Post Antelopes. Robstown Cottonpickers and for sure the Progreso Red Ants, their stadium sits on a giant Ant hill. wink

[therealbulldogs]

How about the Hondo Owls.

[hardinplaya]

Hey BCcards, Are the Hardin Hornets no longer in that 21-3A District? I did not see the third runner up in football last year, oh wait, the district champs in basketball in your post earlier!

[Jacket2000]

How 'bout the Rotan Yellowhammers or the Hamlin Pied Pipers?
Oh, and Ray_Bearkat, the Volunteers were men who weren't soldiers, but volunteered to fight anyway.

[big69]

How about the Port Lavaca-Calhoun Fightin' Sand Crabs! OOOOOOOOOO!!

[Ozzy]

There's a private church school in Fredericksburg that goes through Junior High. Now most church schools have mascots like Crusaders, Friars, etc. The Fred. school is the St. Mary's Apaches. I guess they are paying tribute to the Native Americans overthrown and killed by the Spanish Catholics.

somerville yeguas (guess thats like a hoya)
grandview zebras
robstown cotton pickers

[Green Ranger]

To Buckeye 80, the Killeen Kangaroos are not the only Kangaroos in the state. Besides that fact Killeen were the 1991 5a State Champions. Top three of mine are the Hippos, as previously mentioned, the Frairs, and the Daisy's. How would you like that on your football helmet?

[Mad Dawg 20/20]

What about the Trojans?
Makes me think of the fighting Condoms.

[Green Ranger]

I do not quite remember what town the Daisy's are from, I believe it was a smaller school (1a or 2a I believe). I wouldn't want to mess with them, they have flower power!

[Knightmoon]

My list of "unique" mascots...Progreso Red Ants, Port Isabel Tarpons, Falfurrias Jerseys, Winters Blizzards, Hamlin Pied Pipers, Austin High Maroons (what's a maroon other than the color maroon??) Port Lavaca Calhoun Sand Crabs, Atlanta Rabbits, Amarillo High Sandies, Amarillo Palo Duro Dons, and can't forget those Hutto Hippos!!!

I'd count the Trent Gorillas, but they play 6-man ball.......

[PAINTBALL]

When I hear of a funny mascot, I also wonder what they call their Junior High. The Cuero Junior High Chirpers? The Progreso Junior High Piss Ants?

[LH Panther Mom]

Munday Moguls
Booker Kiowas
Shamrock Fightin' Irish

[Rabdad]

No bulldogs in district 13, there are four teams that are black,and gold. any one else have that many with the same colors.

[3afan]

[LHMom]

Does anyone know which mascot is the most popular or common in the state of Texas?

[Specklebelly]

Rabdad:
No bulldogs in district 13, there are four teams that are black,and gold. any one else have that many with the same colors.5 teams in district 28 have blue in their colors. Wharton is red, white and blue, Rice is blue and silver and Sweeny, Edna, and Needville are blue and white.

I once saw a list of the most common mascots and Eagles are the most common mascot in Texas, then Bulldogs. I forget the order of the rest of the top 5 but it included Cardinals and Longhorns. My favorites in Texas are the Robstown Cotton Pickers, Progresso Red Ants, Pearland Oilers and Winters Blizzards. Before Rice Cons existed, Garwood ISD was the Gars. That was a pretty good one in its day.

[LH Panther Mom]

LHMom:
Does anyone know which mascot is the most popular or common in the state of Texas?Here's what I found on allsports: 152 Eagles, 93 Bulldogs, 79 Tigers, 67 Panthers (go LH), and 66 Lions are the top 5 in Texas. A few unusual mascots I haven't seen on here are Mesquite Skeeters, Poly Parrots, and Van Vandals. Bridgeport Brahmas is not unusual, but the girls teams are the "Sissies".

[3afan]

Cardinals and Longhorns are not among the top 5 most popular - Longhorns aren't even top 10. The top 5 are Eagles, Bulldogs, Panthers, Mustangs and Wildcats.

booger1:

[booger1]

Really! When did they do that? That did sound kind of "gay" to me!
