Do we get free admission to the game in Dallas if we wear that then?

perfect comment!
Damnit

My 10 year old wanted one until I convinced him it wouldn't look good with his sunglasses. He went with the Big House beanie. Behold, his awesomeness:

Why is it
on saturdays i see more than too many of these on men in their late 30s wearing this crap? is this the mindset of our fanbase????
i named my dog JoeyBrutus because he acts just like a typical buckeye,hes rude and thinks he is so great
I think there can be a
I think there can be a playfulness / self-parody to a 30 something wearing the "mascot" hats. Unfortunately for every one person who "gets it" there are 30 that think you are an idiot. I don't like those ratios. Also if something were to happen, who is taking the guy wearing the plastic Wolverine hat seriously?

I have the first one and I rather like it. It's great for the wierd looks I get on Halloween if nothing else.

We need to see the cup as half full. Maybe having a bunch of crazy fans in the stands with these mascott heads will be the official mascott. Fans feed off the other fans more than some contrived on field mascott anyway.
Edit: You forgot to mention this is child's size. This could still answer the perceived need to have a mascott for the kids though.
The bucknuts
Beg to differ
Wasting away in Ohio, a Wolverine in a sea of red and grey
I know.
They have the king of all contrived mascots. How could anyone say "fear the nut" and take themselves seriously? If a Buckeye is named that because it resembles a deer's eye, why wouldn't you use some kind of a bad ass Turdy point buck type mascot?
My dad's from Western NY and he calls them the horse chestnuts.
Halloween?
Is that really so weird for Halloween coming up?
Making a post out of this is as dumb as the person who read the "boilerplate" language in the Alabama game contract and suggested the sky might be fallin because "mascots" get in free to the game.
Get it together people.
You may be right, but the
You may be right, but the mden has a holiday section and this thing is not on that page. If they remove it from the site after halloween maybe you're right. I only posted it because I wanted to make people aware that it exists.
I would ask everyone who
I would ask everyone who hates the idea of a mascot to email dave brandon and tell him what you think about it. Organizations like this get a surprisingly little amount offeedback, so you can truly make a difference by doing this.
COYS and lets go Detroit FC!
Meh
I'm as anti-mascot as anybody, but if this is really a "Child Fuzzy Michigan Mascot Hat," as the page states, this is not anything to get worked up about.
Selling t-shirts that say "Lee Chose Wisely" with a picture of Lee Corso on them is offensive to Michigan's brand--much more offensive than "Child Fuzzy Michigan Mascot Hat."
I found this too.

I don't think it should be a crime to shoot anyone you see wearing this.

I for one welcome our new mascot overlords. I'd like to remind David Brandon that as a trusted MGoUser, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in his underground money caves.

Naturally. Emmy the M. You need two people in the suit at once and it needs to be at least 6 ft wide.
Of course
If we must have a mascot, the block M with legs sticking out is exactly what it should be. And it should be as ridiculous as the Stanford tree.
I've said this for the past 20 years and I would support it 100%.
Key word there being 'New Era'
They have a history of being granted an inexplicable permission to mess with official brands. Remember that Claw/Block M Logo a few years back...?

Dear Mr. Brandon, I
Dear Mr. Brandon, I understand college athletics is about money and I applaud your efforts to maximize income to keep the M machine moving forward. However, in my opinon, ANY mascot will hurt the M brand and make us appear cheap. The only exception would be a large, real wolverine roaming the sidelines, but I doubt that would be safe. Thank you for listening to your supporters who spend many MILLIONS of doallars a year on tickets, merchandise and donations.
Edit: What makes this flamebait? Am I missing something, have never had this before. Thank you.
Don't undestand
why someone would pay $75 to $100 for a ticket then put something on that blocks most of their vision

Why don't kids get it? Mascots aren't a Michigan tradition. Kids are so self-centered. They will never understand. /s
