LOL. Who are the Banana Slugs?

UC Santa Cruz.

How has this thread gone on this long without mentioning the Beavers?

+1 This question is easily answered by all of the Cocks and Beavers hats people were wearing in the 90s.

Also whoever doesn’t know about the Banana Slugs can’t have seen Pulp Fiction.

Vassar's mascot is the Brewer, because the college founder made money in the brewing industry. So, beer built Vassar College! (No, it does not flow out of the taps there, but that would be fitting.)

I thought it used to be the beaver. Guess that changed in 1969.

And they still kept it same?
"The scrotum mascot is Scrotie, the unofficial mascot for the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). Created by RISD students in 2001, Scrotie was originally designed as the mascot for the school's hockey team, the Nads, to help generate interest in the team. The mascot is a costumed, anatomically correct scrotum that appears at school events, though it is not officially recognized by the institution."
