Our friends at the Chicago Tribune are running a fun poll that is asking fans to vote for the best Big Ten mascot. Vote here. With the recent addition of Maryland (Testudo) and Rutgers (Scarlet Knight), the Big Ten now features 11 mascots. As of Tuesday morning, it's a two-mascot race, with Herky the Hawk garnering 51 percent of the votes and Brutus Buckeye 43 percent.

Illinois, Indiana and Michigan are the only schools without a mascot.
