What is the deal with miami's mascot? The team name refers to a storm, but their mascot is some overfed swamp bird that rummages through cow patties for dinner. This nasty oiece of Everglades poultry is "the last sign of wildlife to take shelter before a hurricane hits", according to Wikipedia. So it is too dumb to get out of the storm? And the caricature...looks like a cross-dressing Oregon Duck.The mascara alone...

But the team is not the "Ibises", are they? No. Are they weather-service hurricane flags? No, even you see a lot of these. Are they the Bulldogs? No, which is even more unusual, considering that a bulldog was used in the 50's.

No, the team is ironically named after a storm that kills people and damages property on a regular basis, including its very own campus..

That's the Ewe. Try as it might, the multiple mascots are a fail. Only Auburn is allowed multiple mascots.

I loathe miami, and you should too.
