Florida State Welcomes Back Cimarron

Move over Osceola and Renegade, there’s a new (old) mascot in town!

The Athletics Promotions and Marketing Office at Florida State University announced last week the rebirth of “Cimarron,” a cartoon horse mascot who will make appearances at FSU’s olympic sports, community events, and will be the face of the Seminoles Kids Club.

Fun fact: Florida State has only one mascot, Cimarron. Renegade and Osceola are considered “symbols” of the university and not “mascots.”

It is unclear what Cimarron has been up to since he was last called FSU’s mascot.

We tried to contact Cimarron directly to see how he felt about being back in Tallahassee but all we got was a murmur about being hungry and and oat bag, so we left him alone.

You can follow Cimarron on Twitter at @FSU_Cimarron.
Of course, you can also follow Renegade on Twitter at @FSU_Renegade.

Disclaimer: Based on the tweets, Cimarron’s account is definitely an official account of FSU however Renegade’s might be a fan account.

 

Sparty Takes On Spring Football, Fails.

Sparty is a lot of things. A running back is not one of them.

During Michigan State’s spring football game, Sparty got a chance to lineup in the backfield for a snap with the white team. While he looks good as the play begins, things quickly unravel for Michigan State’s biggest fan.

Take a look:

Where the Hell is The Crusader?

Do you remember a few years ago when that guy Matt put out a video of himself dancing in incredible locations around the world? He wasn’t very eloquent but he got the local people to dance along with him and it’s an amazing video.

Well, The Crusader from Holy Cross in Worcester, MA has delivered his own version in this parody video. The video sows The Crusader dancing in various locations around the Holy Cross campus. He visits 33 locations, to be exact.

Check out the video:

Just in case you don’t remember the original video, here’s Matt and his awesome video:
