I was thinking about some things this weekend while I was preparing to write this blog. To be more specific, I was thinking about the different mascots and team names that we give ourselves in schools. I have gone from being a Husky, to a Trojan, then I became an Eagle before bearing the moniker of a Monarch. Now, I call myself a Griffon. Aside from the title of Monarch (which can be defined as a king or a butterfly), I believe that all of my school mascots have been pretty awesome. The thought occurred to me that others may not have been so lucky, and that’s when I decided to google the worst school mascots. On the Buzzfeed article, "25 High School Mascots That'll Make You Say 'Wait, What?'," it was apparent that some school founders might have benefited from the creative help of writers. Before I get started pulling names out of a list of 25, I don’t think these are bad names or mascots. I just find that they don’t carry the same weight as when someone says, “Here come the Griffons!” For reasons of common immaturity, I’m going to start and say the Cornjerkers made my top five. Coming in fourth place, we have a team named the Poca Dots, yeah, their mascot is a Polka Dot… In third place, the Kewpies. Their mascot is a baby, which is sure to incite fear from the other team. Following in second, we have the Nimrods. They literally named themselves idiots by common understanding. And my first place pick out of this list, the Zizzers. It’s not even a word, come on people.
