I was wondering about it from the Hiesman Trophy commerial that show all of the NCCA teams chasing it. There is an Elephant in it and me and my friends can't figure what college mascot it is.

The Alabama Crimson Tide
Here's the story from Wikipedia.
I hate Alabama football; the pom poms in the crowd, that dumb school song. Ugh!
The origin of the mascot dates back to 1930. On October 8, a sportswriter wrote about the previous weekend's Alabama-Ole Miss football game. The writer, using the flair for the dramatic common in sportswriting at the time, wrote that an anonymous fan yelled out "Here come the elephants" upon hearing the rumble of the first team coming on the field. The name stuck throughout what became a national championship season and beyond.
The costumed "Big Al" mascot was debuted in the 1979 Sugar Bowl, when the Tide beat Penn State University for the last of Bear Bryant's national championships. Since then, the mascot has been a fan favorite for the Tide fans. As the Crimson Tide do not have a logo on their helmets or uniforms, Big Al's likeness appears on much team merchandise.
