I think my favorite part of the article was the watermarks on each image. Haha!

 

[Zunardo]

Zunardo believes his favorite is the Pittsburg State Gorillas.

If the women athletes are the Rainbow Wahines, then the Hawaii male teams really should be the Big Kahunas.

My college's mascot was mentioned in the article. Of course, the college was too stupid to sell much merchandise featuring an image of the rather unique and oxymoronic mascot. I would've gladly paid the bookstore's markup for more gear featuring the mascot as opposed to all the overpriced crap that only had the school's name on it.

I know this is about colleges, but I kinda like the high school in Hollister California, San Benito Balers. Reference to the large amount of hay baling done in the area.
