NCAA 14 is a popular college football video game that was released in 2013. One of the notable features of the game is the presence of mascots, which add a fun and spirited element to the overall gameplay experience. One such mascot in NCAA 14 is Mose. Mose is a fictional character and mascot who represents a specific team in the game. While the game does not provide much information about Mose, it is likely that he is designed to embody the spirit and identity of the team he represents. Mascots like Mose are an integral part of college sports culture, as they serve as symbols of team pride and tradition.
A big bright orange head with a big orange nose is certainly not one of the most intimidating mascots to see on the football field. Maybe having a citrus fruit as their mascot may not been the brightest move by Syracuse University.
Although the school s athletic program refers to themselves as the Huskies, the live mascot has for decades been an Alaskan Malamute, considered by school officials as a similar, but stronger, spitz breed. The Alaskan Malamute is a proud member of the Working Group, and they are sought-after as sled dogs in cold climates, due to their combination of strength, speed, and stamina.
Mascots like Mose are an integral part of college sports culture, as they serve as symbols of team pride and tradition. They are often seen cheering on the sidelines during games, engaging with the crowd, and participating in various pregame activities. In NCAA 14, players have the option to select Mose as their team's mascot, allowing them to bring an extra level of excitement and personality to their gameplay experience.
The take on all 14 SEC mascots, from the mouth of a 7-year-old
Erica Davis of the Disney-sponsored blog “Babble” has shared her toddler’s lighthearted take on 30 college football mascots. We’re talking about the student crammed into a giant, sweaty suits dancing for our amusement on game day.
But Davis’ list only includes four SEC teams. To get a complete kid’s take on the anthropomorphic-side of the conference, we enlisted SaturdayDownSouth’s resident 7-year-old – aka my daughter – to finish the job and help us understand what the kiddos are actually seeing in the SEC mascots.
Alabama’s Big Al – “He’s funny. He looks softer than a pillow.”
Big Al does look as if he gives big hugs.
Arkansas’ Big Red and Sue E. – “The boy looks evil because of his tusks; the girl just looks red and nice.”
Boys are evil, stay away from them.
Auburn’s Aubie the Tiger – “He looks big and weird and fuzzy with his big beard. Why is he always pointing?”
He’s always pointing because…well, you see, mascots like to…umm…so to answer your question, I don’t know why he’s always pointing.
Florida’s Albert Gator – “He’s so happy…and a little dopey (giggles).”
Don’t let them hear you say that in Gainesville.
Georgia’s Hairy Dawg – “He looks old and tired and kind of scary. The real puppy looks cute.”
Score a check in the win column for Georgia’s new UGA X mascot.
Kentucky’s Scratch the Wildcat – “His face looks creepy.”
Scratch was designed to be a more kid-friendly alternative to “The Wildcat,” the school’s original mascot, but neither costumed character seems to impress my daughter.

LSU’s Mike the Tiger – “He’s kind of scary with those teeth and jaws. His nose looks old, but he looks soft.”
I’m pretty sure Mike’s nose is like that so the poor schlep inside doesn’t pass out on 90-degree game days.
Mississippi State’s Bully the Bulldog – “Awww…I wish I had a bulldog puppy.” – What would you do if you saw him? “I’d run away.”
Uh oh, this post is going to cost me.
Missouri’s Truman the Tiger – “More Tigers? He’s definitely yellow. I think he looks kind of scared…scaredy cat.”
That ought to go over well with the Mizzou fans.
Ole Miss’ Rebel Black Bear – “He’s definitely scary. He has a big mouth.”
Are we talking about the bear mascot or the Colonel Reb costume? Ole Miss’ attempt to go cuddly after replacing Colonel Reb in 2003 is lost on her. If only they’d gone with Admiral Ackbar, they might be able to impress a seven-year-old.
South Carolina’s Cocky – “It looks like he’s wearing a skirt. It kind of looks like a girl. She has those blue eyes.”
History lesson, Cocky actually spent some time as a female cheering on the Gamecocks’ women’s tennis team in the early 1980s. In fact, she was…never mind, the history lesson put my daughter to sleep.
Tennessee’s Smokey X – “He’s soooo cute. He looks like our puppy.”
Smokey the Bluetick coonhound looks like a Welsh terrier?
Texas A&M’s Reveille VIII – “Ooooh another puppy! I can’t tell if that’s a boy or a girl puppy.”
Her nickname is “Miss Rev,” so I’m gonna go with the latter.
Vanderbilt’s Mr. Commodore – “What the heck. Weird, he’s so weird. He looks old, but strong. He could probably knock me down.”
That’s a legitimate concern. You don’t want to anger Mr. Commodore, lest you feel his wrath.
Making his first appearance in 1948, this bright yellow wheat stalk certainly has an eerie facial expression. Fans sometimes called out its uncanny resemblance to former POTUS Donald Trump

Reviews for "NCAA 14 Mascot Mose: A Symbol of Unity in College Football Gaming"
1. Sarah - 1 star - The NCAA 14 mascot mode was a huge disappointment for me. The concept sounded fun, but in reality, it fell flat. The graphics were outdated, and the gameplay was not engaging at all. I was expecting more interaction with the mascots, but it felt like they were just standing there doing nothing most of the time. Overall, it was a complete waste of time and money for me.
2. John - 2 stars - I was really looking forward to playing the NCAA 14 mascot mode, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The controls were clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to navigate the game. Additionally, the AI for the opposing mascots was incredibly predictable and easy to beat, which took away all the challenge from the game. I was left feeling disappointed and wishing I hadn't wasted my money on this game mode.
3. Emily - 1 star - The NCAA 14 mascot mode was a complete letdown. The concept had so much potential, but it was poorly executed. The gameplay was repetitive and lacked variety. It felt like I was doing the same tasks over and over again without any real purpose. The lack of customization options for the mascots was also disappointing. Overall, I would not recommend this game mode to anyone. It was a huge disappointment.
4. Mike - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the NCAA 14 mascot mode, but it fell short in many ways. The controls were confusing and difficult to master, making it frustrating to even perform basic actions. The gameplay itself lacked depth, and the objectives of the game were not clear. It felt like a half-hearted attempt at a game mode that had so much potential. I would advise others to steer clear of this and focus on other aspects of the game instead.
