How bad is The Quaker?

Bleacher Report, in its infinite wisdom, has targeted The Quaker.

In a countdown titled "Ranking the 10 Worst Mascots in College Basketball," the Quaker came in fifth. Featured columnist Doug Brodess notes that the nickname "Quakers" came from sportswriters taking their cue from Philly's own "Quaker City" nickname, not the Society of Friends.

And then Brodess concludes that without a connection to the actual Society of Friends, the Quaker mascot must be pointless. "To make matters worse, their mascot uniform is a pale-skinned, goofy-looking geek," he writes.

The No. 1 worst nickname? The Presbyterian Blue Hose. Yep.

What do you think of the Quaker's inclusion in this list?
