What genius decides to name the school team after a turtle?  Could there be a more harmless mascot?

"We are really really slow, and if we get scared we hide in our shells.  Yep, that sounds like our football team.  Let's go with it"

Its better than that. I used to live down the road from College Park, and I went to their stadium one day. There is a metal turtle sculpture at one of the entrances and near where the team comes out that they touch on their way out of the locker room. Maybe that's why Bear only coached there a year: need of a more intimidating mascot.

"We also lay eggs on the beach and like to cross roads"

Seriously WTH? I thought I was watching a World League game (ie Lisbon @ Munich).

What bizarre-looking helmets! That's what happens when you have zero football tradition. You have to mimic a video game. Wow!

Did the cold puppy survive, Smitty?

So far, but she's been rejected by mom.  The other one has nursed.  We're taking her to the vet in the morning to see if anything can be done, otherwise a humane, well you know.

OK, so what looks worse? UGA's or MD's unis?

Notice that MD is having a white-out?  Racist jerks.

Penn State plans one too.

Croaker Sack?

Said for MW, since he is missing again.

Tough call.  My initial response was UGA, but then yellow and black checkers are really bad.

UGA's are worse.  But I expected more from them.

These MD helmets and such are just weird.  Can't they change that flag and solve this?

I think I have to lean toward the Terps. While UGA's are an abomination to tradition, at least they don't have a turtle mascot and then a turtle design on the helmet. However, I think whoever is in charge of unis at both schools should be put in a room and forced to watch the barn/utah state game over and over on a loop.

Gave you an e-cred on this.  Best comment of the day (so far; unless Claude Rains gets some love).

That's what's weird.  They advertised the turtle helmets, then showed up in these ugly things.

I agree SC, Terrapins are scary, but those alligator snapping turtles we catch in the lakes and rivers here are dangerous. They are intimidating looking.

Education moment: Just in case you see this on the Penn State helmets Saturday, it's their state flag.

Almost makes you think the turtle helmet would have been better. That is just extremely painful to look at.
