Ute mascot in the stands

Submitted by uofmdds96 on
After halftime, "Swoop", the redtailed hawk mascot was walking up and down the aisle in Section 1 giving high fives to Utah fans. How is this permissible? How can the ushers let him in our stands to pump up their fans? What next, letting a part of their band walk around and play their fight song? This, combined with the halftime "talent" mentioning MSU winning the Rose Bowl is a little too much wound salting for my sobriety!

...probably b/c we're not assholes.

What's the harm.  It should be a family atmosphere. Letting a mascot in the stands is about creating a fun environment spirited event.  Perhaps we should just ban all opposing fans.  How dare they.

Don't get your ass kicked by Utah. That's how you do that. Not ushers. I've been to games where the opposing team had their mascot in the stands pumping up their fans and it didn't matter, because, you know, we were winning...by a lot. 

 

If we've reached the point where we're whining about the other team's mascot, we're in really bad shape. Really, really bad shape.

He was in section 5 in the first quarter and was actually taking photos with fans of both teams. I was a little annoyed as it was just a big distraction from the game.
