I have a friend who was the Texas mascot and said that they usually switch out personnel in the mascot suits every quarter because they get hot; so it wasn't one individual person doing 500+ push-ups, but each person probably had a lot to do.

Anyone else notice that all the normal looking girls didn't want Ackbar and all the kids that looked, we'll call it "program-y," did want it?  Do average 18 year olds even know who Ackbar is anymore?

It's all John Navarre's fault.
