Why UM Doesn't Have a Mascot: Purdue Edition

Submitted by Geaux_Blue on

There's really nothing more to say... but here's the story.

Well done Purdue. It looks like a mixed ethnicity gentleman with an unfortunately butch feminine physique.

I blame Obama.

Looks like you got caught in the great No Politics KTHX Sweep of '11.

Not that it should matter since you'll be above the threshold again by the time we get +'s and -'s working again anyway (unless you respond to this comment by calling me an evil right-wing fascist or something).

I did, and the first word that came to mind was , "Schadenfreude!"  One poster suggests that Sparty must have moved south a few hundred miles, while another calls for heads to roll.  Can't blame them.  Who was in charge of the design, Dreamworks (see Lord Farquaad) or Pentagram (because it is so hideous)?  This just made my day.

Considering that the previous version looked like a nightmare version of a continually surprised, sledgehammer wielding Woody from Toy Story, this is still an improvement. Baby steps, Purdue.

I always thought we should have a mascot... just so he could kick Brutus and Sparty's ass... but I always thought the reason that we didn't was because wolverines look like shit. They're like 2 ft tall with brown matted hair and blond highlights, kinda like middle schooler. The only way to make it cool would be to get a real wolverine, but Hue Jackmen is hard to catch.

I think Matt Damon from Team America had a love child with the electrical from Family Guy who tells Peter his house is too close to the curb.
