Mascots of the Big East

From Otto the Orange and Jonathan the Husky to the unlamented Thunder the Horse

By , About.com Guide

Otto the Orange is an icon, having spent more time in SportsCenter commercials than anyone save Stuart Scott. Jonathan the Husky is a classic. Seton Hall made Pirates cool long before Johnny Depp got involved. But then there's "Thunder" -- the horse with a bolt of lightning protruding from his rear end -- whose tenure at St. John's was nearly as short as Fran Fraschilla's.
