If you’ve been around here before, you know my love for the media and their mascot reports doesn’t run too deep.
I don’t mind the occasional news story, or random shot of the mascot at a game, but when a “reporter” decides it is a good idea to put his or herself inside the suit… that’s where I draw the line.
This piece from KDLT in South Dakota showcases Cooper The Cougar from the University Of Sioux Falls. It’s actually not bad… my favorite part:
“Maybe I should have practiced some tricks or watched some YouTube videos…”
Either way, the reporter takes over after half-time and puts on a very sweaty Cougar outfit… oh yeah, my other favorite part is when the little girl says “Hi Cougar Bear.” Is it a Cougar or a Bear? huh.
Enjoy the video, and remember reporters… even Katie Couric started out this way.
