My favorite part of this list is that even though Keith doesn’t know much about college sports, the people who made the list don’t know much either!

Texas Tech has another mascot, the Masked Rider accompanied by their horse, which is currently Centennial Champion. A fun little tidbit is that the concept of the Masked Rider originated from a prank, and is also the first mascot of the university, with Raider Red coming along much later. I wish they included the Masked Rider in this.

I graduated undergrad from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (Goldy the Gopher mascot) and, anyone could try out to be goldy, but there were levels of different sport mascots depending on the talent of the person trying out. Aka, the more talented you are at being goldy, the more likely you are to be goldy at the football games and, other sports that are a bit more popular. It's probably similar for other schools. There are multiple goldy the gophers because there are so many sports and, events that it would probably be a full-time job if there weren't multiple people in the mascot role. Most of the time it's students that are the mascot so it kind of has to be multiple people. They hold try outs every year and it's always a fun time to hear if others are trying out. It's such a big school though that it would be difficult to know someone who was goldy or, it would most likely be in passing that you talked to someone who was goldy.
