Mascots can change a game for a crowd. When a team seems to be out of it, a mascot could one thing that brings the crowd to life and that could give energy to the home team.
UCF has a couple of mascots, but the one that is known everywhere is Knightro. He can be seen wheeling around campus or on the field or the court with his Wheelies and slicking back his hair on top of his helmet.
Mascots can make all the difference in a game and with the departure of Oklahoma and Texas, there are some new mascots coming into the conference. So which mascot is the best in the Big 12 conference?
While the idea is simple, it just seems like they could have done better. The Mountaineer is just a guy, sometimes dressed in regular clothes, but most of the time dressed in what seems like mountain clothing.
However, one question I have is this, is the beard real or fake? Every Mountaineer has this long beard and if it's real then that takes a lot fo guys out of the running to be the mascot.
It just seems like there could have been a little creativity in picking who the mascot would be at West Virginia.
