Two Gators versus One Big Nut
The BCS has spoken--The University of Florida will face The Ohio State University in the National Collegiate Football Championship in dusty Arizona January 8.
This forum is not about football, but mascots, so what concerns us here is the mascot-action we'll see on the sidelines during lulls on the gridiron.
We all know Brutus, who represents the nut shed by the state tree, the buckeye. AND, this will come as no surprise, but UFla is blessed with TWO gators: Alberta and Albert, pictured here with Jimmy Chin and someone who refers to himself as "Croc," who keep a webpage photo album of all the mascots they meet. Perhaps their ethnographic research can help us to pursue our mascot goals.

These are the Gators that Gatorade is named for [Jeopardy question this week]. So they are really sports drink mascots as well as sports team mascots.
Don't people waste an awful lot of time on sports stuff? I think we do.
Are we back on the time wasting thread from the Mike Committee webblog? Time is here for the fillin'.
For me, I am wasting time on any sport unless it is baseball or softball....or drunken bowling...or beer pong...or
Blogging is not a sport.
But baseball must be a huge waste of time or something. Why else would we need Muddy and Muddona to shoot t-shirts from a cannon? To keep the crowds awake and to keep their attention turned toward the actual baseball field.
If you knew anything about Muddy and Mudonna and their T-shirt cannon, you would know that they do it FOR MONEY! It is pure advertising moolah.
Who wants a Banner Mattress T-shirt? I don't waste my time. What about the Applebees ball cannon? Again, if you are lucky enough to be sitting in the season-ticket-holders seats to catch a ball lobbed from the cannon, you turn it in at Guest Services for a coupon for some money off your Applebee's bill. I think it's $5.
