Everyone wants to be a mascot

I had a chance to go to Tampa Bay, Florida for the Women's Final Four. I think I know why Stanford lost. The creative team was busy working up the back up for the Stanford tree, instead of focusing on the actually game.
As a mascot by trade, I was disgusted to see that Stanford chose a hot dog as a back for a tree. I was already disappointed in the tree but a hot dog. During the festivities leading up to the final game, there are competitions. Battle of the bands and a Mascot Challenge. Now during the battle of the bands, a mascot is supposed to assist the band in pumping up the crowd. The NCAA takes pride in the importance of a mascot. ANYWAY. The band goes first and plays a song. Stanford’s band didn’t seem that good to me but I am not a band expert. Well untraditional. Like the band on Drumline (Movie) with the rapper during the competition. Entertainment and not the integrity for the c
Which Leads me to the second disgrace the mascot and band duet. The band plays another selection and the mascot conducts, uses signs or something to get the crowd out of there seats to cheer. There go cheer leader. The mascot is the biggest cheerleader.
Stanford back up, the Hot dog comes out with his handler and goes crazy. The worst part of it all, Stanford won. But unfortunately no one else could see the horror. But it was funny. The handler threw the hot dog on the ground, spun him in the air and out danced the mascot. What is the world coming to when you can win a competition at the cost of the mascot.
The Fans love it.. What do you think of the back Up and his handler.
