Inflatable mascots

[Cyclone90]

I'd like to know who sold colleges and universities on the idea that inflatable mascots were a good thing. Since when does a slow moving, immobile mascot get the crowd fired up. We went to Drake's home opener tonight and noticed they now have one to compliment Spike. Maybe he can be buddies with Nebraska 's Lil' Red and the Toledo Rocket dude. BTW, nice job to Cy for openly mocking the Toledo Bubble Rocket's lack of movement at the FB game this year. :biglaugh:

yea, rah, team. (wobble, wobble, hop)

These things are apparently big business. There is a small company here in Omaha that makes many of these things and they are doing well enough to be looking to build a bigger facility for making and shipping the things. On the positive side, they are also working on several programs where they use the things to help teach kids fire safety and help hadicapped kids deal with various issues.

We could change our tunnel for next year and get the mascot tunnel...

They have a cardinal available, but no tornado bird.

They can actually be pretty funny... I saw them for the first time at an I-Cubs game this past summer. It's even better when they fall on thier back and can't rollover or get up!!

Well, if their angle is to get laughed at then they've succeeded. I'm still unsure what niche they're trying to fill. Especially when most of these teams already have another mascot. Thank goodness our Cy and Clone experiment didn't evolve into Cy and Blow Up Bird.

Baylor has one. I've seen the guy inside turn around so it looks like the Bear is walking on its head. Clever...

I'm sure that there might be one member of this board that could tell us where to buy an inflatable mascot/spouse.

This would be a bad idea, in my opinion.

Is it just me, or does it look like the mascot is squatting to, ummmm... "relieve" itself of the players running onto the field?

If I had to concentrate that much while taking care of my business, I think it'd be time to see a doctor.

Need that one over the visiting team entrance taking a dump on them

He better look to see who's in the stall next to him. He will either end up in jail or with something else he doesn't want.

You'd need a Mangino version of the tunnel for the full effect of that one!

Cost prohibitive due to limits on world production or vinyl.

That damn Husker ugly thing...man...I have always had the urge to deflate it via a BB gun.

All I can think of when I see those mascot tunnels..."Who does Number 2 work for?"
