Charlie’s Basketball blog this week has found a true poll out there on PawNation. In honor of the American Kennel Club’s 125 anniversary, the site is looking to find the top 125 pop culture dogs (Spuds MacKenzie and Taco Bell chiuaua come to mind!)
This week the PawNation wants you to vote for your favorite college mascot, the nominees for top college mascot being Georgia’s UGA, Yale’s Handsome Dan, Texas A&M’s “Reveille”, Georgetown’s “Jack the Bulldog” and Boston University’s “Rhett the Boston Terrier.”Charlie points out that this poll just scratches the surface of dog mascots in college, especially bulldogs where at least 38 universities and colleges use a bulldog as mascot.
A&M’s Reveille has a strong lead and although I have written of Handsome Dan in the past AND spoken to write-in nominee Smoky, after having lived in Savannah, GA, home of UGA–I have to say UGA deserves his fair shake in pop culture lists. I mean the dog has his own car to get to the games!
Entry filed under: Georgia, Texas. Tags: AKC, Handsome Dan, Jack the Bulldog, Reveille, Rhett the Boston Terrier, Smoky, UGA.
