The Ninth Annual Capital One All America Mascot Team
Wondering who made this year’s team? No? Well, we’re going to tell you anyways

Say what you want about mascots. Maybe you think some of them are stupid. Maybe you think they’re unnecessary. If those are your beliefs then here’s a nice little warning for ya — don’t read on– cause for the context of this post, we’re talking mascots.
Furry, cuddly, obnoxious mascots.
We received a press release today from JoeSportsFan, announcing the 12 finalists. Some are household names (if you’re a college football fan that is) and others, well aren’t.
Here’s the list:
* Mr. C, Vanderbilt University
If you’re interested in helping crown the winner, which is announced on January 1 during the Capital One Bowl, you can vote each week at capitalonebowl.com. There is weekly head-to-head matchups, top win/loss records, playoffs, and all kinds of other random shenanigans that could never have taken place if not for the good ol’ internet.
Each mascot that made the list of 12 will receive $5,000 for its university mascot program, and the Mascot of the Year will receive an additional $15,000 scholarship to help fund its school’s mascot program. School mascot Program? Um, okay. Yeah.I don’t know who will win the highly coveted award but you gotta love a school that names their mascot Paydirt Pete. I’ve never heard of Monte or Big Blue.
