Lions and Tigers and Bears - Oh MY!

Or is it the Badger? Or the dreaded Wolverine?

Nope, it is - without question - the Cardinal!

I used to think the Cardinal was a wussy mascot, but no more.

I posted on here last Spring that I had a femal Cardinal that was attacking my window in an apparent attempt to protect its territoty. I received lots of suggestions on how to stop it, but nothing worked short of closing the blinds - in which case it actually flew around to the front of the house and started attacking my Den window.

Well, she is back.

This year my wife and I decided that we liked our view and if she wanted to keep battering the window she could have at it.

Well, yesterday she woke me up with the sunrise and was still at it 13 hours later. Every 15 seconds or so she smashes against the window. She takes breaks now and then, but it is fairly constant. Obviously she never wins any of these encounters, but that doesn't slow her down one bit. That is one fierce bird!

So am I afraid of the Thundering Herd? Not like I am St. Louis.

Terrified of Hurricanes? They got nothing on Arizona.

Montana Grizzlies? May as well be the "Girlies" if they ever take on Louisville.


Now, if you want to talk about the worlds smartest mascot it may be a different story.

I thought Alabama's mascot was was some scary red water, caused by some diseased seaweed or something.

Alabama's fans are also terrifying, with their signs containing a roll of toilet paper and the front of a box of detergent.

Who would win a tug of war between the Crimson Tide and Jumbo, Tuft's elephantine mascot? PT Barnum donated Jumbo's body to the schools zoology department. It was stuffed and still guards a campus building.

How about Furman's Purple Palladins in a quick draw with Rag Time Cowboy Joe from Wyoming?

Or Oberlin's sturdy yeomen with Heidelberg's stupid... er, student prince?
