Miami's mascot is an Ibis.
At the Auburn game, who have two mascots (you can have two mascots if you are an SEC team apparently), it was really interesting to see how the War Eagle thing worked up there. Its a greeting, an exclamation, a battle cry, a retort, acknowledgement, and a goodbye. It's kinda cultish.
Anywho, because we beat them, some students decided we should either make fun of them, or have our own moniker, that being the War Flamingo. Which is why, if you watch the 2007 USF WVU game, there are a bunch of bright pink flamingos all over the student section.
