SEC Mascot Mash-Up: East

Ok, now that you all have gotten my take on the mascots of the west, it's time for my second introductory article, but this time I'll giving my personal opinion on the mascots of the SEC East.

8. Florida, formerly known as the Gators.

New mascot: Swamp People.

It was hard to choose between Florida and LSU for this one. But taking the swamp people's obsession with Alligators into account, Florida was the obvious winner.

9. Georgia, formerly known as the Bulldogs.

Again, TOO MANY BULLDOGS.

New mascot: UGAs.

The traditional bulldog mascot that has been a part of Georgia football for as long as anyone can remember. The Dawgs don't have to give up their mascot after all.

10. Kentucky, formerly known as the Wildcats.

New Mascot: Hoopers.

These guys aren't good at anything but Basketball. And an occasional year of baseball.

11. Missouri, formerly known as the Tigers.

ANOTHER tiger in the SEC. These guys definitely need a new mascot.

New mascot: The Out Of Place Ones.

The State of Missouri is around 500 miles away from the nearest SEC East state. Definitely out of place.

12. South Carolina, formerly know as the Gamecocks.

Ok, I'm going to be straight with ya'll. The Gamecock is a pretty cool mascot, and definitely original. As an Ole Miss fan, though, I'm not going to mention the other organization with that mascot.

New Mascot: Palmettos.

South Carolina is the Palmetto State. Natural choice.

13. Tennessee, formerly know as the Volunteers.

What's a volunteer? Beats me. These guys need a new mascot.

New Mascot: River Rats.

Neyland Stadium is famous for being located on the banks of the mighty Tennessee River.

14. Vanderbilt, formerly known as the Commodores.

New Mascot: Nerds.

Look. These guys are super nerdy. One of the smartest kids I know didn't even get accepted into this "elite" school.

Ok guys, this is my first set of articles. Hope ya'll enjoy reading my writing, because I am definitely looking forward to writing!

SEC Mascot Mash-Up

As you all know, two new teams were added to the SEC starting in the 2012 football season. With the conference realignment, I think it would be a fun idea to do a little mascot realignment, if you catch my drift.

I just want to start off with a little introduction. My name is Andrew, and I will be helping out my man Will. Keep reading our blog.

Let's start with the West. In no particular order.

1. Alabama, formerly know as the Crimson Tide.

New mascot: Thundering Elephant Herd.

I know this is jipping a certain C-USA team. But seriously, C-USA? No one cares about their mascots anyway. And Alabama has been long overdue for a mascot change. Crimson Tide? What does that have to do with elephants?

2. Arkansas, formerly known as the Razorbacks.

New mascot: The Ones That Never Catch A Break.

Darren McFadden never won the Heisman, and they have only been selected for 1 BCS bowl regardless of their recently high rankings. And then when they actually get a decent coach, he has to mess things up for them. Really Bobby? Really?

3. Auburn. Formerly known as the Tigers.

New mascot: Plainclothesmen.

For all of you familiar with college football locales, particularly in the great state of Alabama, it is known that Auburn University is located in the region of the state called "the plains". But don't think there's anything plain about the state of Alabama. They have the last 3 BCS championships.

4. LSU, formerly know as the Tigers.

Too many tigers. WAY too many tigers. And bulldogs. But we'll get to that later.

New mascot: Ragin' Cajuns.

Sorry. Had to steal another mascot. Sorry to that little Sunbelt team in south Louisiana, but this mascot fits those corndog-eating, beer-watergun-shooting "fans" better than any other.

P.S. I don't like LSU.

5. Ole Miss, formerly know as the Rebels.

This was an easy one, seeing as this is the team closest to my heart, which all you readers will definitely realize as I begin to write.

New mascot: Flood.

Jackson, Mississippi, Easter 1979. One of the worst floods the mighty Pearl river has ever produced. Yeah, it messed a lot of stuff up, which is something the Ole Miss frat boys have been doing a lot of lately to get that atrocious excuse for a football season off their minds.

6. Mississippi State, formerly know as the Bulldogs.

Again, too many bulldogs.

New mascot: Turf Managers or the Fighting Les Miles'.

As most people know, MSU has an excellent agriculture school and they pride themselves on that green glory they call grass. It's a perfect fit.

7. Texas A & M, formerly know as the Aggies.

New mascot: Noobs.

2012 SEC schedule: Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Florida.

You asked for it, you got it. Welcome to the SEC.

Hey guys, this has just been a little taste of what's in store for ya. Check back later this weekend for the unveiling of the new mascots for the East!
