原文标题 College football roundtable: Best mascots 原文出处 http://tinyurl.com/h4q399v 美式足球大学校队总览：最佳吉祥物 ESPN在美东时间六月六号 发布了一项由ESPN员工票选的最佳吉祥物 虽然这篇新闻是在发布在美式足球专栏下 但有Football的学校都有篮球，再加上大学的各队都是同一名称 就把这篇内文节录和翻译，让大学运动迷讨论一下 (欢迎补充或指正嘿!) 这篇文章只有讨论到五大联盟 ACC B10 B12 P12 SEC 或许有其他小联盟里面的吉祥物更有趣! 1. ACC : Syracuse 大西洋岸联盟：雪城大学的吉祥物 橘子人 http://tinyurl.com/za7rws9 There are various animal mascots that are fun in the ACC, like Ibises, turkeys and tigers. There is even a real ram and a real horse (plus flaming spear!). But none of them can top Otto the Orange, the most unique mascot of them all. First of all, he is a fruit. How many other fruit mascots can you name in college football? Thought so. Second of all, he is cute and cuddly. Sure, some schools want to have an intimidating mascot as part of their whole shtick. But there is something about an orange wearing a baseball cap, with arms and legs no less, that is just downright a-peelin'. Orange you glad to have him, Syracuse? -- Andrea Adelson 在ACC里面不乏有动物为吉祥物的学校，如朱鹭(迈阿密大学？不是龙卷风喔)、 火鸡（维吉尼亚理工　Hokie Bird)、老虎（克莱蒙森大学），还有公羊和马等等， 但没有一个像橘子这麽特异的吉祥物。其一，他是一颗水果，没有其他 football 球队以水果作为吉祥物的学校。(OSU 的栗子 Buckeye是不是也算?) 其二，不同於其他学校以比较凶猛的动物作为吉祥物，橘子人的外观比较可爱及 讨人喜欢，再加上戴上棒球帽的造型，怎不选他? 心得: 其实ACC的吉祥物真的很多元，这个奖颁给杜克的Blue Devil 或是 Georgia Tech 的 Yellow Jackets 或是圣母大的Fighting Irish 也很适合 2. Big 10 : Michigan State Sparty (密西根州大 斯巴达人) http://tinyurl.com/zs5ue5v The current costumed mascot version of Sparty wasn't introduced to Michigan State fans until 1989. But in just a few short decades, it has become a prominent league staple and routinely ranks atop various lists of best Big Ten mascots. Sparty is 7 feet tall, yet even his rippling muscles and warrior garb can't mask his cartoon-like cuteness. Oddly enough, ESPN had a hand in helping Sparty become nationally recognized in the mid-1990s, when the mascot was featured carrying around Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug for a parody "This Is SportsCenter" commercial. Given that Michigan State has one of the most successful football and men's basketball team combinations in the country, Sparty should remain a national fixture for years to come. -- Jesse Temple 现在版本的斯巴达人是在1989新设计的。但在短短几十年间，斯巴达人已经变成大十联盟 的金字招牌。斯巴达人有七尺高，配合上萌版的表情、武士盔甲和肌肉造型。加上1996年 亚特兰大奥运，ESPN "This is Sport Center" 令人印象深刻的广告， 抱着美国体操选手 Kerri Strug 和 密西根州大长久以来 Football 和 篮球的成功。 斯巴达人已经变成全国都知道的吉祥物。 1996 "This is Sport Center" 广告 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH6ne1tjvqE 3. Big12 大十二联盟 西维吉尼亚大学 Mountaineer (登山者) http://tinyurl.com/zpkr6hz Anytime video of your mascot shooting a bear in the woods can be found online, your mascot is going to be hard to beat. West Virginia’s Mountaineer mascot was always an interesting representative as one of the few mascots in college football without a face-covering mask, and one of the best costumes in the nation. But the Mountaineers' early years in the Big 12 coincided with an online video of Johnathan Kimble, West Virginia’s Mountaineer at the time, shooting a black bear with his school-issued musket. Quite the first impression for the most real -- and best -- mascot in the Big 12. -- Brandon Chatmon 西维吉尼亚大学的吉祥物没有像其他的吉祥物一样有套头面具。而他无时无刻在山中 猎捕大熊的形象和真人演出的样子同样获得好评。 Jonathan Kimble http://wvutoday.wvu.edu/resources/1/1362858180_md.jpg 4. Pac 12 太平洋十二联盟 史丹佛大学 树 http://tinyurl.com/jnt5nhf Technically, Stanford doesn’t have an official mascot, but we’ll let that unimportant distinction slide because the Stanford Tree is still one of the most recognizable mascots in college sports. Officially, the school designates the Tree simply as a member of its controversial band, but it’s so much more than that. It has existed in various forms since the 1970s, and there are often several versions on hand at Stanford athletic events. In a conference that, in all honesty, doesn’t have many great mascots, the Tree stands out. Hobbies include: dancing in circles and fighting Oski (Cal’s mascot). -- Kyle Bonagura 事实上史丹佛大学过去并没有官方吉祥物。但是出现在各大比赛场边的史丹佛树总是能 吸引观众眼光，也促使他成为全国认识的大学运动的吉祥物之一。但最近学校因为他的 争议性的背景而指定他为官方吉祥物。自1970年代起就出现过多种不同版本的树。 树的嗜好是和柏克莱的金熊战斗和跳圈圈舞。 (有听说每棵树是由每年学生打扮竞赛而选出? 这可能需要版友补充了) 5. SEC 东南联盟 LSU Tigers 路易斯安那州大 老虎 http://tinyurl.com/zsmtknn The SEC has some cool mascots, for sure. But does it get any cooler than a real, live tiger? Mike the Tiger, LSU's mascot, resides in a 15,000-square foot habitat on campus (which includes lush planting, a large live oak tree, a waterfall and a stream) and before home games, he is escorted in a trailer near the visitors' locker room to intimidate opponents as they enter. You can even watch Mike on his live "Tigercam." Mike VI -- who has served as the current Mike the Tiger since 2007 -- weighs about 500 pounds and eats 25 pounds of food per day (175 per week). When it comes to mascots, a live tiger is as fierce as they come. Unfortunately, Mike VI is battling cancer after being diagnosed with a spindle cell sarcoma in May. He is receiving treatment. -- Sam Khan Jr. 真正的老虎。被眷养在校园里面一千五百平方英尺的栖息地内。(栖息地内有灌木林， 巨大橡树、瀑布和小溪流) 在主场的比赛，老虎会被带去客队休息室的附近。当客队球员进场时会不经意地被吓到。 LSU还有直播的老虎台 Tigercam 。 目前这只名为麦可六世(Mike VI) 的老虎是2007加入 LSU的，他体重五百磅且每天得吃掉二十五磅的食物。 还有甚麽吉祥物比真正的老虎来的有趣呢? ----------------------------------------------- I found this article is fun, hope you enjoy reading it! --
