I know some people get bent out of shape about MSU's fake Wolverine, but I don't - if nothing else, this should keep the Michigan AD from ever developing an actual mascot.

Their use of 'scUM' is incredibly clever.  Exactly like you would expect out of the high academic standards of Michigan State.

As many have said, that was MSU's fake Wolverine mascot.  They brought it to camp in 2004 the last time I was at the same camp as Sparty, and had it act like a jerk all the time.  

It would have been acceptable if they were just using it to give more people a chance to practice/learn with the big suit on, but to have it act lazy and mean in the skits they put on was a bit ridiculous.  Camp is supposed to be big on learning and development, low on animosity, but I guess MSU didn't get the memo.

 

MDT Go Blue!

Kansas City Chiefs do the same thing ... I went to a Lions game at Arrowhead back in '98 (?) and the Chiefs mascot, "KC Wolf" ran over a bogus Lions mascot with a four-wheeler.  The crowd went bonkers.

You can see him pull a similar schtick on a Raiders "fan" here:
