That commercial was pure win. I wonder how much they paid George Lucas for it.

The conviction is what sold me. Glad we wouldn't have to play a team with Ackbar as a mascot.

I'm surprised people negged you for this.  If I wanted to see someone in a big furry costume, I'd watch Sesame Street.

(Live animal mascots are pretty cool, however.)

They wouldn't have lost to Jacksonville State. He would have warned them that it was a trap.

Totally made that joke to my roommates the second that commercial ended on TV and someone beat me to the punch here.

Great minds really do think alike.

So you want to be a mascot.  Ask the kid in the Duck suit at Oregon this week after he had to do 500+ push ups after the all the points they put on New Mexico.

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.
