Mascot(!) Panic Thread

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

This picture is from the cheer team's recent competition in Florida....

If you want to see the thing, click the link, and select Intermediate Coed from the competition selector above the video and then scroll through the list and look for Michigan. Or just type Michigan into the search bar and select "all competitions" and find the one that has this set up.

Viewer discretion is as advised.

Commense PANIC!!!!!

Meanwhile somewhere, you will see this:

If you watch the video, it seems that it is the resurrection of Willy the Wolverine.

that would be acceptable to me, is a real LIVE wolverine....and we get to wrap a bloody porkchop necklace around the opposing mascot.  Let chaos ensue.  Profit?

From two different girls on the Dance Team that this mascot will be gracing our sidelines in the near future.  If not this coming year, the following one for sure.

I was told that there were a few prototypes and the Athletic Department settled on the one pictured above.

Again, take it FWIW.

I'm actually becoming quite alarmed by this whole situation.  Again, I'm not positive of the inevitability of this occuring, but I was in a box for the spring game and some corporate-types wearing M gear were discussing incorporating a Wolverine mascot.  Generally, their conversation seemed to be favoring the idea and their wives were also pretty enthusiastic.  Apparently this is more of an attempt to reach out to a younger crowd and for the mascot to make appearances as AA-area events, like Pioneer HS games.
