Yosef Tabbed by ESPN

[TexasTerror]

Yosef recognized by ESPN as one of the top five caricatures in all of sports mascots...

AppSt seems to get recognized daily for something. They're just HOT HOT HOT! :nod:

3. Appalachian State: Yosef
If you're a mascot, and you want to distinguish yourself from the others, what should you do? Rock a beard straight out of ZZ Top. Yosef the Mountaineer is one part nature lover and two parts "We probably shouldn't mess with this guy" -- so in the world of psychological edges, Yosef scores big.

Other mascots getting some love include Southern, Yale and Western Kentucky

Cheers for Yosef! Third place on votes as well!

Monte definitely should have been on (and won) the list for person as animal.

I'm sorry, but Ace Purple is clearly the coolest of all "human" mascots. He's like gambling pimp, haha!

Congrats to Yosef. I wonder if the NCAA will ever try to say that he is offensive to the residents of the mountains and try to have him banned like all the indian mascots?

As for Ace Purple, the fact that the school tried to get rid of him and he refuses to go away just proves that "Pimpin' Ain't Easy".

Are you kidding? Yosef is the crustiest looking mascot, next to Davidson's wildcat. It looks like you guys dragged the Yosef costume out of a dumpster behind Goodwill.

The Evansville mascot definately should have won.
