Screen shot 2011-01-17 at 5.39.31 AM

OK, so professional Indoor Lacrosse will never be a sport that ranks highly in America. Even MLS has a better chance.

Flashback Friday – NFL Mascots At The Pro Bowl In 1995

1995 NFL MAscot

It was the dawn of time. Players like Emmitt Smit, Dan Marino, and Jerry Rice were breaking records on the field (rather than on Dancing With The Stars). Back before instant replay, the internet, that crazy sky-cam thing. When Brett Favre was known more for his on-field play than his text messages. Heck, Jenn Sterger was 12 years … [Read more...]

University Of Minnesota Mascot Goldy Gopher Shows His Stuff Early…

Goldy Gopher Mascot Champ

If there is one question I get when I tell people that I was a National Champion College Mascot (USA), it's "Is it hot in the suit?" If there was a second question, it would have to be "How do you win a National Championship?" Well, in a much more arbitrary contest than the BCS, a bunch of mascots are chosen for their spirit, involvement, and … [Read more...]

Swoop eastern washington

In the FCS (that's Football Championship Series to you BCS lovers) they like to crown a true national champion through a playoff, like it should be. They also like to have mascot dance-offs at pre-championship game tailgate celebrations. In this case though, I smell a setup. Swoop from Eastern Washington University, and yoUDee from the … [Read more...]
