Question 1: What is the scariest sports moment you have ever seen?

Have you seen his headlock? Vicious.
Question 2: From Demon Deacons to Horned Frogs, professional and collegiate sports are home to a variety of wacky mascots with even wackier costumes. Who do you think has the most unique mascot costume?
