Another day, another March Madness team is revealed. Team 2 in the competition comes from Williamstown, MA, at the base of Mount Greylock in the Berkshire Mountains. Representing a highly selective private school, this team participates in the NCAA’s Division III NESCAC Conference in most sports, except for skiing and squash (what is squash?), where they are Division I. And just in case you thought that people don’t really care about squash, check out the trash talking that went on during the 2010 NCAA squash championships. I kind of feel bad for the little Yale guy. He didn’t deserve that. But I digress.
If you were to create an ideal team mascot, you’d probably design something that is both intimidating and represents your school well, right? Well, this team doesn’t need to play by your rules. Located at the base of a mountain, and with school colors of purple and gold, I give you team 2 of March Madness 2010: the Williams College Ephs (pronounced Eefs, with a long e) and their mascot, Ephelia, the book-reading purple cow!

Why a cow at the base of a mountain - because instead of milk - milkshakes - straight from the udder - udderly… wait for it… Rediculous.
That’s right and they come in two colors purple and yellow - ask the cow nicely and you’ll get a twisty milkshake. Don’t ask nicely - - - hoof to the mouth, also known as hoof to mouth disease, look it up. But wait Jon i’m lactose intolerant - too bad, get tolerant - it’s totally worth it.
