Mascot for the Zags

Talk about a Thanksgiving Eve miracle!! I found the perfect ugly mascot for the Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball team (see post below detailing why they are the ugliest team in college basketball). Anyway, this little ball of good looks is a pedigreed Chinese Crested Dog (yes, this is an actual breed of dog, although it appears that not all of them make you want to vomit upon seeing them). Unsurprisingly, it's a three-time winner of the title of World's Ugliest Dog. Now that it's dead, there's nothing stopping Gonzaga from stuffing it and using it as some sort of false idol to which they pray before games.

Honestly, who could love that? It looks like the love child of Stripe the evil Gremlin and a 90-year-old leper crossed with the love child of the alien that busts through that guy's chest in Alien and Freddy Krueger, who was dipped into a vat filled with a combination of radioactive waste, ash, shit, disease, evil, dip spit, used syringes, and tar, and then eaten and regurgitated by a tyrannosaurus rex who was burning to death in a lava pit. I guess we can be thankful that there is no longer a possibility of seeing it, and we can all hope and pray that all dogs do not go to heaven.
