Best non-Sparty Big10 mascot

After 4 days of close encounters with the various Big10 mascots I have concluded that the cat mascots (NW, PSU) are lame. Bucky Badger might be the best of the rest. The Nebraska cowboy dude is ok. The Boilermaker doesn't seem to do much. So I guess my ranking would be:
Bucky
N Cowboy
Herkie
Gopher
Boiler
Brutus
Cat

Bucky by far.
The PSU Nittany Lion-dude seems embarrassing.

I know I'm in the minority here, but to me the PSU mascot is so bad that he's good.

It's hard to like anything associated with PSU after their scandal was revealed. But I did like the Nittany Lion before because he was old-school and the buttons on his scarf change to reflect the opponent.
But I think they ran into trouble this year and might have stopped doing them because the button planned for the Wisconsin game was going to say "Brie 'em to their knees" before the scandal broke...

"Much Ado About Nuttin'"

Yep, that's the one that actually did it. Just found the article.
---
The buttons that are a Penn State football weekend traditions apparently won't be available any time soon.
Citizens Bank, of State College, has provided the buttons for each game for the past 39 seasons. The bear fan-written slogans in support of the Nittany Lions that are unique to each game.
But this week, the buttons have become scarce.
When asked about the buttons, a branch manager in downtown State College said, “We have no comment on that situation” before hanging up.
An employee at another branch said the bank won’t be putting buttons out for the upcoming game or the next one.
The buttons for Saturday's game against Ohio State, and the Nov. 26 game at Wisconsin apparently have been produced, as they were seen at Beaver Stadium during Saturday's matchup against Nebraska.

I agree with this. The nittany lion is old school and cheesy, but that makes him cool.

Bucky is the best but I also love Goldie. He looks mischievous with that big smile.
Purdue Pete is easily the worst in my opinion.
