Mascot Madness and Sideline Shenanigans
Well, if the USC school of Communication doesn't do a report on it, it doesn't exists, so thankfully, they took on a very hot topic in their latest video series called "Impact". That's right, they featured mascots. Now besides the dead pan narrator, the story is actually quite good, and goes into some of the unwritten rules of mascots, like … [Read more...]
Seriously Bleacher Report? You're going to let one of your contributors rank the Pac-10 mascots, and call it satire? That's beside the fact you put our beloved Beaver in the bottom 3. (Who doesn't love a six foot Beaver?) Well, it was a good article anyway, and because we lack common sense and superior reasoning skill, we'll link to … [Read more...]
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?"

Swoop from Eastern Washington University, and yoUDee from the … [Read more...]

Check it out for your self... It'll make your hands go up... . . . . . ... and they'll stay there! Louie Performs Top Songs … [Read more...]
Now, I assume that 90+ percent of the popluation has never and will never do a backflip, and that's OK. Same goes for the mascot nation, save a trampoline dunk or two. But this high school mascot from the Marshall Lions pulls one off flawlessly during halfrime at a recent tournament. After you watch the video below, go outside and try a … [Read more...]
New Year, New News! FOr those of you that don't know, every year, Capital One sponsors a contest to name the mascot of the year in the college ranks. This is voted on by the fans, and includes a bracket system to arrive at one final winner. This year's Mascot Of The Year is Big Blue from Old Dominion. Old Dominion will receive $20,000 … [Read more...]
What is sad mascot so sad about? Probably the lack of action going on here at YMS. When we started this project, we had no idea it would grow to be so popular, and well liked among all the readers, and how much flack we would catch for going a day or so without posts. So, for the past weeks we have been putting together a plan to continue … [Read more...]
Hide Yo Kids, Hide Yo Wife... YMS Is Back, So GO Run Tell That Homeboy! And just in time too... The Cincinnati Bearcat, former winner of the Capital One Mascot Challenge was arrested yesterday and probably facing assault charges!?!
