Sun Belted: Those Big Head Monstahs



This begins my feature on the only things here with head sizes comparable to mine, those crazy mascots. I'll provide a photo for those not familar, and then give a general critique of those figureheads of the Sun Belt.

Note: Big Red is by far the best mascot in the conference, so I'm not going to even bother with a analysis, except to say that he looks like a swollen prostate gland with feet.

BIG HEAD MONSTAH #1: SCRAPPY THE EAGLE
By far the most impressive looking mascot besides Big Red I have seen at the tournament. It acts like it would just kick your butt if you started talking smack about the Mean Green, and it looks big enough to bench press the team bus.
Plus he gave me the stink-eye during the quarterfinal game. We about threw down in the middle of the Mitchell Center, but ARob held me back.
A sad note for the Tall Dude. Since both of North Texas's teams were bounced in the quarterfinals, the Tall Dude will no longer be able to see their smoking hot cheerleader.
Well, at least there's still FIU.

BIG HEAD MONSTAH #2: HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED (UALR's MASCOT)
I'd love to provide you a picture of this shady character, but unfortunately I don't know its name so I couldn't find it on Google (any help with that would be appreciated). However, I have seen enough to be adversely affected.
I won't say much, because I'm afraid if I blog about him three times into a mirror he'll magically appear and lop my head off. I will say this, though. I think I had a nightmare about this dude once, in it he took my soul. I don't think I'm going to sleep well tonight.

BIG HEAD MONSTAH #3: OWLSY
I must confess, this doesn't look to much like an owl to me. It looks more like a giant pigeon. And a gangster-ass pigeon at that. This particular picture doesn't do it justice. Owlsy looks way more hardcore in his away uniform.
On a side note: I saw a pigeon that looked about like Owlsy in Central Park in New York City when I went there last summer. He had a gun and tried to mug me, but I threw some bread crumbs which distracted it long enough for me to get away.
