Ralphie hands down, 2nd to our sturdy (if a bit creepy) golden bear.

Just crown Ralphie and be done with it. Nobody else comes close.

It's Ralphie behind Oski without question. Most of them suck. I'd place Husky third, since he is a cool dog and relates to the past Alaska connection with Seattle. But with no bias at all, a grizzly bear is just impossible to beat. Can't even have the damn thing as a mascot cuz. Can't run a grizzly around the field. He'd sit, or drag everyone, or swat the heads off them all. Ralphie is a blast. My least favorites, not even in contention, are the Utes for appropriating the name of the people they decimated, the Sparky thing cuz well, what the hell, and trees cuz a mascot should be a mammal.

whoever voted for a tree should be outed and shamed.

So to clarify, is USC just the horse, or does it include the person riding the horse?

I tweet not, but I would still like to vote for The Beaver. The latest incarnation is so cool and enigmatic looking, unlike the usual cartoony characters. (ASU's is definitely the worst: enigmatic is one thing, but creepy?)
