Athlon Sports has been pulling together plenty of peak offseason content of late, and one of the most recent ventures was a list ranking the top mascots in the ACC (hey, we’re in that conference!).
The Syracuse Orange’s Otto the Orange ranks eighth on the list out of 15 (they included Notre Dame). This is where you get understandably irate about the results of these subjective, meaningless rankings.
Given the fact that I spent an extensive amount of time with the ACC mascots this past March in New York, I bring an expert perspective to this conversation, and loudly refute the list as it currently stands.
