OT: Capital One Bowl Mascot Challenge
First off, I am completely prepared to get neg-banged for this post but let me plead my case.
The Old Dominion Mascot is close to beating the Oregon Duck in the Final Four of the Mascot Challenge. This is crazy because Old Dominion just got football 2 years ago and aside from basketball is virtually unnoticed in the sports world. I call upon the mgoblog community to help the ODU mascot Big Blue by voting at www.capitalonebowl.com I was hoping he would be facing Brutus but o well. Heres why:
1) Michigan doesn't have a mascot so why not?
2) When is the last time you got to beat Oregon?
3) His name is Big Blue...close enough right?
4) It's a distraction from all the CC posts and negativity on this board
5) It would be funny to see a mascot nobody has even heard of beat out every major mascot in D-1 football

I still vote we bring back the live Wolverine on the sideline like we did (I recall anyway) in the 1930's?
December 2nd, 2010 at 3:35 PM ^
Then our mascat can go all Ohio Bobcat on Brutus.
December 2nd, 2010 at 6:29 PM ^
just so long as it doesn't go all Ohio Bobcat on the players

I'd say based on the number of OT topics banned to the depths of hell today, this one won't last long.

being neg banged... at least it's not a new thread about if RR gets fired, should he get fired, what should Brandon do, how will the meeting be conducted,etc....
December 2nd, 2010 at 4:35 PM ^
Not worried, I'm wearing my authentic Tom Brady Michigan jersey, essentially impenetrable from all negative points and insults that would otherwise shut down my mgoself-esteem

Do you have Uggs on as well?
December 3rd, 2010 at 11:34 AM ^
Do you know what "begs the question" means?
Just kidding, since this phrase is misused everywhere and especially in print media/online, so I don't blame you. The name (of a logical fallacy in which the topic being argued is assumed in the premise, the question refers to the topic being argued, and the user is begging that the other side concede certain points in order to speed up the trial/argument) is really confusing at face value.
I hope this comment was informative enough, while off topic as hell, to not be negbanged for being cheeky at first

Double post*

how many people voted to add Rufus (OU's mascot) for next year. Just for the brutus attack alone he should win.
December 2nd, 2010 at 5:21 PM ^
But the Duck has so much swag.

Old Dominion immediately won me over in last year's NCAA tourney when they beat Notre Dame. I was a fan from that point on.

Not doing bad this year either with wins over Xavier and Clemson, our only loss is a tight game to Georgetown. Its still early but we are slated for a consecutive tournament appearance.
December 2nd, 2010 at 6:20 PM ^
is as rigged as Dancing with the Stars. The University of Alaska mascot would probably get at least third place if entered.
December 2nd, 2010 at 7:03 PM ^
I'm voting for Western Kentucky's red pimple-thing.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:07 PM ^
I'm so thankful that Michigan doesn't have one.
However, the live wolverines that Michigan used to have were cool: http://bentley.umich.edu/athdept/football/umosu/mascot.htm
A real wolverine would earn my vote for the Capital One mascot contest provided that they turned it loose in the same room with all the costumed ones.

Every other mascot can only hope to be second-best.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
Vote for Puddles the duck. Best mascot in college football.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:38 PM ^
So I'll do this.
