So I am generally against the idea of having a mascot, although I do understand how it makes us more likeable to a younger audience. Anyway need another reason to be glad that we don't?

When the ADept sells special jerseys and gear, you'll see my picture next to the targeted customer crowd. A sheep.....but a Blue one.....

I hate that reasoning,
I hate that reasoning, "Little Kids like it, and it gets them involved". Funny how teams went like 100 years with no mascots and people still being fans, but kids today need them
I know you're against them OP, but I just wanted to say that
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
Well we use the same excuse
Well we use the same excuse for uniformzz and tons of people here defend that...

I think it's pretty funny actually. I think that's what they were going for.

GO BLUE
All the guys look like idiots doing it.
And all the girls look like they're simulating sex. That's what they were going for, right?

Maybe this is just me, but...
This is pretty awesome. Not sure why they had to bleep out "sexy" in it, but it's still pretty funny.
Go Blue or go home
I like that Michigan doesn't
I like that Michigan doesn't have a mascot. But I love that other schools have mascots because that was brilliant. And

This is seriously awesome.
But that's probably becuase of the cheerleaders.

It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
The verdict
My 2.5 year old daughter, who loves all things music and dance, heard the video, climbed up next to me to watch and within 10 seconds said, "I no like turn off."
I know, I'm with you guys...her grammar sucks.
I will gopher the Womens
I will gopher the Womens Hockey Team however.

I did not expect Minnesota's women's hockey team to be hotter than Notre Dame's cheerleaders, but there it is.

I had to stop watching when I saw the pasty bald white guy sitting at his desk wiggling like he's trying to itch his hemorrhoids without using his hands.
This put a smile on my face.

I liked their Midas Touch video better
Than any video, ever
Yea
but hockey chicks are hot!
If someone ever invented a low fat vitamin - filled vegetable that tasted like fudge covered Rice Krispies treats - I'd probably eat better
Yeah, but...
Just because there's a really bad video out there with a masot (and others encouraged by said mascot) doing something really embarrasingly stupid, there are also videos of mascots doing something absolutely amazing. Case in point:
Disclaimer: This is by no means an endorsement of U of M getting a mascot, which I vehemently oppose.
You never need an excuse

I was against a mascot until I saw this tbh
Get DB on the line!
i should probably stop posting on mgoblog when I'm drunk.
That video keeps repeating
That video keeps repeating "Condom Style" and I have absolutely no reason why?
I Will Say This...
The end of that video rather gave me a new appreciation fo Carl Spackler's raison d'etre.
It is even more clear that this is something which almost never ends well, because one day, your mascot gets drunk and aggressive and then...well...

Minnesota has done some good
Minnesota has done some good stuff with the gopher in the past. I thought the "Midas Touch" video they did was excellent.
I could watch more of that
if it was just more women from their sports teams.

Not cool.
They stole my only dance move. That's all I had.
They probably shot this
They probably shot this during planned football practice time. That would make more sense
Not sure if you are aware of
Not sure if you are aware of what is the coolest mascot in my opinion.
The Fighting Okra of Delta State (in Mississippi no less) is both silly and makes fun in some way of Notre Dame. It is a win/win.
I suck at embedding help?
