OT: This is What Happens When You Have A Mascot
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?
I give you from the University of Minnesota:

I suck at embedding help?
September 15th, 2012 at 8:31 PM ^
This is why we can't have nice things.
September 16th, 2012 at 12:26 PM ^
I would never go to that school, simply because of that dance. Gayest thing I have ever seen.
September 15th, 2012 at 8:33 PM ^
That is the WORST thing I have ever seen !
September 15th, 2012 at 8:34 PM ^
Wait, so you don't think this is awesome? Oh...
Me neither...
September 15th, 2012 at 8:35 PM ^
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
September 15th, 2012 at 8:49 PM ^
Well we use the same excuse for uniformzz and tons of people here defend that...
September 15th, 2012 at 9:46 PM ^
I think that's for a different type of "kid".
September 15th, 2012 at 8:35 PM ^
its funny :)
September 15th, 2012 at 8:42 PM ^
I couldn't make it past 20 seconds.
September 15th, 2012 at 8:44 PM ^
Either I'm REALLY drunk (I am) or this is amazing
September 15th, 2012 at 8:47 PM ^
I think it's pretty funny actually. I think that's what they were going for.
September 15th, 2012 at 8:48 PM ^
I wouldn't mind doing the Gopher with some of those ladies.
September 15th, 2012 at 8:59 PM ^
Giggity. Me either
September 15th, 2012 at 11:56 PM ^
And all the girls look like they're simulating sex. That's what they were going for, right?
(And was that end uncomfortably long?)
(TWSS)
September 15th, 2012 at 9:34 PM ^
This is pretty awesome. Not sure why they had to bleep out "sexy" in it, but it's still pretty funny.
September 15th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
I like that Michigan doesn't have a mascot. But I love that other schools have mascots because that was brilliant. And
September 15th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
This is seriously awesome.
But that's probably becuase of the cheerleaders.
September 16th, 2012 at 9:23 AM ^
a parody of a video that is supposed to be a parody?
mind asplode
September 15th, 2012 at 8:59 PM ^
The got some fine ladies on that hockey team.
September 15th, 2012 at 9:10 PM ^
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.
September 15th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
I will gopher the Womens Hockey Team however.
September 16th, 2012 at 12:12 AM ^
I did not expect Minnesota's women's hockey team to be hotter than Notre Dame's cheerleaders, but there it is.
September 15th, 2012 at 9:31 PM ^
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.
September 15th, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
This put a smile on my face. Lighten up.
September 15th, 2012 at 9:42 PM ^
Can't unsee what I just saw...
September 15th, 2012 at 9:43 PM ^
I liked their Midas Touch video better
Than any video, ever
September 15th, 2012 at 9:54 PM ^
but hockey chicks are hot!
September 15th, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
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.
September 15th, 2012 at 10:35 PM ^
To show this.
September 15th, 2012 at 10:53 PM ^
hard to watch, I cut it off after 15 secs.
September 15th, 2012 at 11:50 PM ^
Can't watch more than 30 seconds. Not very funny, just ridiculous.
September 15th, 2012 at 11:55 PM ^
pleaz
September 16th, 2012 at 12:23 AM ^
This is hella bitchin
I was against a mascot until I saw this tbh
Get DB on the line!
September 16th, 2012 at 8:49 AM ^
That video keeps repeating "Condom Style" and I have absolutely no reason why?
September 16th, 2012 at 9:06 AM ^
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...
September 16th, 2012 at 9:19 AM ^
Minnesota has done some good stuff with the gopher in the past. I thought the "Midas Touch" video they did was excellent.
September 16th, 2012 at 10:28 AM ^
if it was just more women from their sports teams.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:46 AM ^
They stole my only dance move. That's all I had.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:47 AM ^
They probably shot this during planned football practice time. That would make more sense
September 16th, 2012 at 12:17 PM ^
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.
