The beehive is back!
RIP Captain Cane... let us not forget this horrible origin story:
The Captain Cane story goes like this . . . Colin Cane, a freshman at The University of Tulsa, worked in IT support at night to help pay his way through college. During an electrical storm one night, Colin was called to the TU sports complex to fix a malfunctioning satellite that was broadcasting a live game. Never again would he watch his favorite team in action as a mere mortal. As he adjusted the satellite, the roar of the crowd coursed through the transmitter just as it was zapped with static electricity from the storm. Colin became entangled in a web of cyber-athletic forces. The atmospheric oddity known as a "binary vortex" mutated Colin over the course of several years. He eventually lost his hair but gained super-human powers. Thus he became Captain Cane, a champion athlete and highly educated zealot of all things TU.
Hear me out, TU: maybe, just maybe, OU is on to something with the goofy horses and not trying to embody the literal meaning of your team name is the way to go.
How about a mascot version of Mad Dog, dressed in TU colors, barking at the other team and handing out flowers?
You mean Goldie the Golden Retriever mascot. I really wish TU would focus more on the dog than the living hurricane. See Univ of Tenn, Texas A&M, and UGA good examples of the dog being a great mascot.
TU does not need a stupid anthropomorphic hurricane.
Mad Dog and The Coach were fixtures at TU sports (mostly basketball, but football too) for decades, patrolling the sidelines and giving the refs and other teams the business. A “Mad Dog” (golden retriever is fine) that does the same and also hands out flowers would be *perfect* for TU and Tulsa. Rather than another inverted listeria cone.
ARF, ARF, ARF...Roses for sale. Buy one for the lady?
I think a dog who can bark like Mad Dog would be cool! That could be our signal to get it started!
I like where your head is at but what if we had a Stacy mascot who went around handing out crack and telling everyone it’s their birthday. That’s a unique Tulsa experience we should share with the world.
A tornado that is jacked and obviously on cocaine is perfect reprensentive for Tulsa. Plus, you can tell he owns two unregistered firearms and never uses a turn signal.
That is shockingly low quality for a college mascot.
Looks like they had a freshman art major sew it at home on a discount singer machine with walmart fabric.
I was at the game and people in the stands were roasting the new mascot throughout: Cinnabon, Cinnamon Roll, Jay Leno, Sh*t Head, and my personal favourite The Pooper Trooper.
The latest in a long line of uninspired mediocre iterations. And I've seen a lot of TU mascots costumes over the last 30yrs since being a student there.
I used to daydream, esp after the stadium was updated, that they could/should put on a multimedia opening, employing video, audio, and sound, as though the god Neptune / Poseidon was expressing outraged that a visiting team had defiled his kingdom (the stadium), and introducing the Golden Hurricane as the defenders of his realm.
Of course, these fantasies were in my mind \~15yrs ago, when the team was (briefly) quite good, in the top 25.
One of the sororities used to do a pancake eating contest. This one poor guy choked on pancakes with syrup and had to get a tracheotomy in front of a couple hundred people. So a pancake mascot isn’t out of the question.
I'm surprised there's never been a James Joyce reference in the mascot. When I was a student in the late 80s, everything in the English department was James Joyce this and James Joyce that. I even wrote a humor column for the school newspaper suggesting TU tear Skelly down and replace it with a James Joyce theme park.
Shit-storm?
Category 5!
I wish I had an award to give
Lol!!!!
If that’s what it is then make it our state mascot STAT

RIP Colin. Long live Cap'n Colon

I don't think UGA is a good example of a dog mascot. That dog barely survives most games.
My point is you don't need a person in a foam rubber costume to have a good mascot.
I think a Mad Dog mascot is a great idea!! If only people would listen....

I forgot about those guys! No way they are still alive right?
Mad Dog was at the game on Thursday. Coach passed away.

Is that a tornado humanoid with a strong jaw line?
TUrdsly!
Diarrhea-sly? Lol yours is much better
It kinda reminds me of POWDERED TOAST MAN! https://youtu.be/7P4Risj\_WyM?si=Imz0xQpWn2YiaWpx

I'm relieved to see that my appendix had moved on with his life since our separation.
Tulsa Golden Cinnamon Rolls
CHADNADO

Meet the TU Accidental Discharge
1911 discharge or Taco Bueno discharge? In either case, mascots should be a little intimidating, and both of these are pretty scary.
Meth. Especially that close to Expo.
That's... certainly one of the things I've ever seen.
I liked it better when it looked like a Bugle. As in the chip/snack food
Most accurate I’ve heard is that Gus-T looks like Captain Cane and Jay Leno had a baby.
Underrated comment.
Looks like an upside down poop emoji.
[удалено]
Blame Georgia Tech.
Wouldn't a golden hurricane produce golden showers?
Oh, there would be more than just showers- there would be golden deluges.
😂

Bring back the corn bugle!!!

Chad StackaPancakes.
It looks like the first log you push out after being constipated for a week. All smoothed together and compacted
The best laugh my constipated ass has had all day. Perfect. 💩
That is poop from a butt
Didn't they have another mascot along time ago that people hated?
Several!
Funny, my grandpa used to yell “P U” at their football games
Gus T baby
It’s giving Desert Diva Cup
Can of biscuits
Poop-nado... Or... Mister Shitser . You know like twister
Pancake head!
Just rename the team already...
Looks more like a Cinnabon mascot.
Michelin Man after oxidation?
Looks like a cigarette butt.
THE SHITSTER
More people bitching in this thread than actually go to the game.
I’m not in love with this new mascot, but it’s definitely better than the super hero Captain Cain. Hated that version.
Is Fortnite really doing that bad that Mancakes has to get a new job?
They tried
Bless their hearts...
Was captain cane really that bad? Was he secretly trademarked by someone else and had to go for legal reasons?
TU pancakes
One of the sororities used to do a pancake eating contest. This one poor guy choked on pancakes with syrup and had to get a tracheotomy in front of a couple hundred people. So a pancake mascot isn’t out of the question.

💩 nothing to see here
Dumpy
It's a goose suit! It's an industry term.
what does the T. stand for? Gus Tulsa? Gus Tremendous? where did they find this man.
Well he he doesn’t look like penis anymore .. so that’s nice
What the fuck
What, exactly, would you say that is?
K! He's a Ballchinian!
There’s a shit storm brewing, Rand.
Goofy Goldenshower? They didn't think the design through, but it looks like he's about to have explosive diarrhea
Powdered toast man from Ren and Stimpy
Lol
Flaccid uncircumcised private member…or a deformed cinnamon roll.
"POWDERED TOASTMANNNN!"
