Fear the Fork.
More specifically: Fear Sparky.
In ESPN.com’s most recent #Top10Thursday list, Myron Medcalf ranked the NCAA’s 10 scariest mascots.
Sparky — who some believe was originally created as a caricature of Walt Disney — came in at No. 7.
Must be rough for Arizona State fans. You all can’t invite Sparky the Sun Devil to your child’s birthday party. He’ll scare the kids. Hell, you can’t invite Sparky to the bachelor party. He’ll scare all the bros.
Medcalf ranked Sparky as the Pac-12’s second scariest mascot; he has the Stanford tree No. 3 overall. “What on Earth is this? Everyone’s nightmare. That’s what it is. A giant, walking tree,” he wrote.
Michigan State’s Sparty mascot was No. 1 on Medcalf’s list.
Sparky is definitely scary, but is the current version as fearsome as some as his predecessors? You be the judge.
