Very much like March Madness for the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament we (the normal cast of characters) decided to do a bracket of college mascots to see who would win. Does an Owl beat a Hawk, who would a spider beat, does a bullet kill a diplomat, does a wave drown a knight? All interesting questions. Instead of just picking colleges the field needs to have some meaning. First up we looked at the various schools we all attended, then Philadelphia area schools, schools that spouses attended, softball players etc. A field of 64 would be idea but maybe too many.
Here is the list so far:
Penn Quakers
LaSalle Explorers (Great on the road but restless at home)
Temple Owls (much prefer to play at night)
St Joseph's Hawks
Villanova Wildcats
Richmond Spiders
Gettysburg Bullets (An early favorite)
Rider Bronco
Franklin & Marshall Diplomats
Dickinson Red Devils
Delaware Blue Hens
Trinity Bantams
St John's Red Storm
Allegheny Gators
Rutgers Scarlett Knights
Pepperdine Waves
Indiana Hoosiers
Towson Tigers
Massachusetts Minutemen
Drexel Dragons
WestChester Rams
Cornell Bears
Clemson Tigers
Penn State Nittany Lions
University of California Santa Cruz - Banana Slugs (I thought the name was interesting)
That is 25. A good start but need at least another 7 to get this going. Suggestions welcome.
