And guess who came in at #2 in the Country?....Peruna!!!

Peruna is one of the most underrated little mascots in the college football universe.

He was named for a medicine popular in the early part of the last century, "Peruna Tonic" which was known for its "kick."

While one does not necessarily associate a Shetland Pony with "Mustangs," as that name evokes images of large horses running wild with flowing manes and tails, this mascot has plenty of spirit.

Legend has it that Peruna I kicked the Fordham Ram mascot, killing it.

While that was another horse from the one that is currently roaming the sidelines, SMU fans will tell you that he is still a tough little pony-just don't call him that to his face.

Among his other notable accomplishments, according to the SMU Daily Campus, he also took down Texas' mascot with one kick, and defecated at midfield of rival TCU's new field surface

It's bleacher report. Just write your own article and list it as #1. Pretty much that simple.

I vote we judge bleacher report articles on their own merits before automatically dismissing them as crap. But that's just me.

Alright, sure. Having read it, I am of the same opinion of its quality.
