LIFE.com: Creepiest College Mascots
Providence Friars
| Mascots are essential characters in college sports. They get crowds pumped. They harass opponents. They terrify the unprepared and the weak in spirit. . .Well, some of them do. Case in point: Providence's wide-eyed, big-headed friar. Perhaps he's the spirit of Providence's past glories, including runs to the Final Four in 1973 and 1987.
