Mascot(!) Panic Thread
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.
DB as AD.
but nothing immediately comes to mind. Freaking terrible!
Why do people feel the need to upvote your posts?
Why do you feel the need to butt into your son's life?
I don't get why so many people are opposed to a mascot. I think it could be a positive thing. Especially for the younger fan base.
Not to mention finally having a mascot to play with in the NCAA Football Mascot Game.
If it looks idiotic, I want nothing to do with it.
it will look idiotic.
He (literally) doesn’t get it. Seriously though, you’re cool with the gradual encroachment on the program we keep experiencing in the form of hashtags on the field, Rawk music, etc? Mascot talk is a clear escalation, and cannot be tolerated.
Shouldn't you be focusing on your own Wildcats instead of trolling Michigan blogs?
My personal reasons:
1. Mascots creep me the fuck out.
2. The only reason I can think that schools would keep a mascot around is the history of the mascot, and we haven't had one, so why should we get one.
3. Mascots don't make anything better. As a matter of fact, whenever you hear a story about a mascot, it's about how they embarrassed the school in some way.
4. There are some shitty looking mascots, ours would probably be too.
you must be new here
Make with the video link or I call Shenanigans!
Why would someone photoshop a guy in a wingless bat/grey monkey hybrid costume in front of a bunch of cheerleaders?

Search for Michigan and select the all competition option. Then search for the video that has the setup the picture does.
I hope your being sarcastic.
You know the program is heading in the right direction when this is what we're worrying about in the offseason. Seriously, though, this aggression will not stand, man.
Aren't cheer competitions notoriously cheezy? I thought all of the music was just like NOW Music mash-ups
Its probably just the cheer team trying to integrate something. I HIGHLY doubt we would debut a mascot at a cheer competition if we were to debut one...
It's just T-Wolf keeping himself in shape.
/facepalm
What's the worst that happens? Some old fucks see the mascot and have a heart attack? Some whiny ass alums return their diplomas to Mary Sue? I don't think adding a mascot is going to stop the Al Glicks of the world from donating.
I don't want some goofy looking thing prancing around the sidelines. We had a mascot. A REAL Wolverine.
If Michigan gets a mascot, I want it to look badass and not friendly.
Cause this could happen
Does this goofball really change the way you feel about your alma mater?
FYI: I don't give two craps about purdue sports. All I care about is the world class research Purdue Physics and Biology produces.
You went to a school with a mascot. Did his presence on the football field and basketball court really affect your experience as a Purdue student and/or fan?
and I answered I don't give two craps about Purdue sports. I care about Michigan.
Honestly, Pete looks like Joan Rivers' inbred son. The whole purdue sports experience is just like AAA baseball game. Thanks but no thanks.
What's wrong with AAA baseball games? I loved going to see the Tigers from 1999-2006
Yes.
then you are doing it wrong. Kids have a good time you never notice anything because you are watching football, what part of this is that bad? yeah if the mascot looks dumb its stupid but the idea of a mascot literally has no bearing on the atmosphere for you at a game.
Neither then do advertisements on the scoreboards, Michigan Stadium brought to you by ____, even more obnoxious music (say dubstep), permanent hashtags, corporate flags flown around the stadium instead of the current big ten team flags, sponsored events such as interceptions (and that was an allstate good hands interception!), advertisements on the big screens during timeouts, I could go on.
And yet no of these have anything to do with a mascot as a cheerleading event. For all we know, the rules at the cheerleading event dictate that all teams have a mascot.
