DIII Mascot Challenge: Finals

Well, it all comes down to this. Two schools, their fan bases, and every computer and iPhone they can get their hands on competing for the most treasured Division III tennis-related mascot competition this side of the Mississippi. On one side, we have the comically large, baby blue badass from Tufts; on the other, the kinda cool, purple, predatorial, projectile from Wisconsin-Whitewater. The Warhawks have been essentially untested since their first round tilt with the Purple Cows, and appear capable of generating as many votes as necessary. It will take a colossal effort from Tufts to overcome the sheer numerosity of the Wisconsin public school. I hope their library has a lot of computers in it. God speed.

    I just saw another vote go up. It’s Monday at 8:13am. Why are you still accepting votes? That’s not right.

    Thanks to all the Warhawk Supporters! At 12:09 UWW is up by 195 votes. D3blogger should have stopped this 9 minutes ago. Lots of hard work spreading the word. Lots of fun. Thanks to the best D3 tennis fan base in the nation!

    One simply MUST vote for Jumbo if, for nothing else, purely sentimental reasons. He was a real elephant (largest or second largest ever held in captivity), forced to live and work for the Barnum and Bailey zoo. During his travels, he was struck and killed by a train. His remains were actually brought to Tufts where he stayed on display until the building he was in burned down. The poor guy just couldn’t get a break. All that is left of him is his tail. *sniff* Now… do you really still want to vote for Willie? 🙂 (true story, btw)

    1. jumbo4ever

      Not only was he struck by a train, he was struck by a train while pushing another elephant off of the tracks! Jumbo is a hero!

      Go Jumbos!!!!

    5. Disheartened jumbo

      I go to tufts and voted for Wisconson. Please, all Bo’s do the same. The Jumbo mascot unnecessarily objectifies tusks. Animal poaching is completely unacceptable, and as a school, we must unite to reject austere affronts to our community values.
