Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
In the liquor industry, the general rule of thumb is this: the more impressive the brand name, the closer it is to the bottom shelf. For example, Basil Hayden is an outstandingly good bourbon despite its relatively unassuming name. But if you come across a bottle labeled something like, "Kentucky Gentleman" or "J.D. Wealthshire's Finest Premium Limited," its contents will probably taste like oven cleaner.
This is sometimes the case with college sports programs as well. On Friday night the Duke Blue Devils play the lowly Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions. You're surely already familiar with Duke's logo -- a friendly-looking guy with a No. 2 pencil for a chin -- but I'd like to direct your attention to the Golden Lions' logo.
See? That thing looks like equal parts Sabretooth from the X-Men, a Thundercat, and the world's angriest pom-pom. I'm rooting for Arkansas-Pine Bluff because I do not want to get eaten.

Also U-A-P-B. But whatever.
