They're just not intimidating at all.

10 Least Intimidating Mascots In Division I Sports

Mascot choice matters -- a lot.

1. Austin Peay State University – Governors


A cross between KFC’s Colonel Sanders and the Planter’s peanut man, the Austin Peay State University’s mascot is by far one of the least intimidating. It isn’t likely that the monocle and mustache instill terror in any of their rivals.


2. University of California, Davis – Aggies

In case you didn’t know what the UC Davis mascot was, apparently it’s a blue horse with a creepy smile, and hands instead of hooves. Although this mascot’s genetic makeup is quite confusing, I still wouldn’t consider it intimidating.


3. University of California, Irvine – Anteaters



I’ll admit, UC Irvine’s mascot is pretty ripped. However, its face is just a little too awkward for me to take seriously.


4. Campbell University – Fighting Camels


It’s safe to say that I was pretty confused when I first saw the Campbell University mascot. Is this a dog, or a donkey wearing some sort of toupee? Try harder, Campbell.


5. University of Nebraska, Lincoln – Cornhuskers


I truly feel bad for this school’s mascot. The poor guy is wearing overalls, and his eyes just look really sad. Maybe it's because its school chose a wimpy mascot to represent them?

6. Stetson University – Hatters



Thankfully, the smart individuals over at Stetson realized how weird it was to just have a hat as their mascot. As a result, the present-day mascot is a much smaller hat that is worn by a man. That's still not intimidating, but a lot less creepy.


7. Youngstown State University – Penguins



Personally, I don’t find penguins intimidating.


8. University of Minnesota – Golden Gophers

With a kind face and even kinder hand gestures, it's safe to say that the University of Minnesota’s mascot is the furthest thing away from being intimidating. I can’t even hate on it. It’s just really cute.

9. Pepperdine University – Waves


Let’s be real, this mascot looks like the type of guy that everyone hated in high school. The Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops don’t intimidate me, but rather irritate me. The fact that he wears sunglasses indoors really doesn’t help his image either.


10. University of Delaware – Fightin’ Blue Hens



I think we need to start with this mascot’s choice of footwear. WHAT ARE THOSE? On a more serious note, a hen is a pretty odd choice for a mascot and not intimidating at all. Those shoes are pretty scary though.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
