The countdown to college football is on! I can’t wait to be back between the hedges in Sanford Stadium this season.
ESPN’s Ryan McGee ranked mascots across various categories including costume, mechanized, human, non-football, and live animal, and the University of Georgia’s Uga took the top spot for best live mascot. He beat out Colorado’s Ralphie, Texas’ Bevo, LSU’s Mike the Tiger, and Auburn’s War Eagle.
