I bet you are wrong, my daughter graduated from USC and everyone there knows who Traveler IS, not was
Try and keep up
Fight On!
PS - SI has a strong East Coast bias and so I generally ignore them and ESPN
WVU Mountaineer ! He gets to carry & shoot a gun!
I totally forgot about that.
Here’s the story about it....

Wonder how many it takes to watch after the University of Richmond mascot?
A spider!
Bevo. Especially when he stomped Georgia ‘s bulldog mascot Uga.
SI sure stinks when it makes these lists.
Where’s the Rambling Wreck?
Lol! The should a have dropped a lookalike stuffed dog. But that would have been pretty horrifying.
The Boilermaker Special.

And no, Purdue’s mascot isn’t the guy with the hammer, it’s a train engine.
MSU Spartans’ “Sparty” in consistently rated year in and out to a top mascot and isn’t even on the list.
Goldy Gopher - University of Minnesota
He should be there in place of that frickin’ Stanford Tree!
The rest I could generally agree with.
Agree on Sparty.
He is definitely in my Top 5.
What do you mean "was"? He's still going strong, and you can see him at the LA Memorial Coliseum in two-and-a-half weeks when the Trojans take on Cal State Fresno.
I have to agree with you - Fighting Artichokes is a cool sounding and looking mascot.
Little Sorrel is not a mascot
He’s residing at the museum at Jackson memorial hall at VMI
Unless he got free and trotted up the stairs and rode off
This at least Traveler #9, and there’s really no indication he’s named after Lee’s Traveller, though it is a reasonable guess.
