The strangest one is Stanford. Their name is The Cardinal" but their mascot is a fir tree.

I was was at a Husky game and the Washington mascot was walking around the track surrounding the field. He walked up the the Stanford tree, knocked him down then lifted his leg on him.


Another time Washington was playing Colorado. Colorado has this goofy looking buffalo which more resembled a bumble bee. The Husky mascot knocked him down, then acted like he was humping him when he went to stand up.


The Husky mascot was restricted to the student section after that one.

sounds like Washingtons mascot was bringing it. Too bad there football team rarely does.

If I remember correctly Crimson Tide came from a sports writer referring to the large size of Bama's linemen sometime early 1900s
