Another week of mascots and we cracked the top ten of Phil Steele’s Preseason Top 40 with the #9 Miami of Florida Hurricanes and their mascot Sebastian the Ibis. Just what is an Ibis? How the heck does it go with Hurricane? We’ll answer those questions as well as blow through Sebastian’s somewhat fiery past. Some say the Hurricanes are on the cusp of being back this year. Mr. Steele believes that they are Top Ten worthy. Now let’s find out if Sebastian is just as worthy.
When coming up with this week’s mascot, we decided to go with a somewhat big time program. How we settled on Florida State’s Chief Osceola and Renegade was much more of a journey. Was it the recent news of sanctions the NCAA put on Florida State that would vacate some victories and take away from Bobby Bowden’s record? Nope. Was it former player and WWE wrestler Ron Simmons and news of his induction into college football hall of fame? Nope. Actually it was the pit stop we made on the way down to our annual float trip. Yup. Thank you Osceola Cheese for this week’s Mascot Monday. DAMN!
