Dome Dude, Nightmare Cuse Clown Usher In New Era Of Carrier Dome Characters

Use to wave the stuff she knitted. She’s gone now but he’s still there waving the towel

This implies the presence of multiple Orange Men. And my terror is complete.

There’s also a guy in the front row opposite the student section that waves a big orange towel

Love that guy!

supposed to be distracting?

the St Johns coaches told the refs that he needed to put the towel away because it was distracting. So the refs had to go over and threaten to throw him out of the game if he kept waving it!

WTF? Of course it was distracting! That’s the point! I can’t believe the refs wasted time actually stopping him from waving it. That’s bull****.

How is that towel any more distracting than the people who hold up those spinning hypnosis signs and what not behind the basket while players are shooting free throws? Idiot refs…

they’re technically the Orange and Blues Brothers, but yes, I love those dudes and the towel guy. Can’t seem to remember the knitter, though.

Is the Wildcat having an affair? Is the Eagle cheating on its taxes? Is the Panther notorious for tipping poorly? WTF???

Last I checked, the orange had a great reputation. Vitamin C and such. Otto is a healthy part of your breakfast. And he keeps on smiling.

If Clemson cannot think of a cheer that acknowledges their nickname, that is not our problem. They are the Tigers (like 5% of NCAA teams), not the orange.

The robin is a fine animal. Unless you are a worm. But it need not be a mascot.

Is that your mission in life, to get Otto, one of the most unique mascots in sports thrown out? Otto is great b/c he’s an orange. Our team nickname is… you guessed it, the Orange. Seems to make sense to me.

I just feel like a robin will get lost in the shuffle of other mascots. Our mascot has done Sportscenter commercials on multiple occasions because he’s easily identifiable. That’s not the case with a lot of other mascots.

That Clemson does NOT cheer “Let’s Go Orange”. I’ve been to Death Valley for games, and since I live in Charlotte I am exposed to Clemson on a regular basis. That is one of the dumbest statements I have ever read on this blog. One fanbase, and one fanbase alone says “Let’s Go Orange”, and it’s SU.

Otto is one of the most successful aspects of the AD’s branding efforts—Otto is universally associated with Syracuse, it’s a unique and memorable mascot and people love him.

Michigan is the Wolverines but has never had an actual mascot, and their cheer is “Let’s Go Blue!” (You can always pick out the knockoff stuff because it will say things like “Let’s go Michigan” or “Go Wolverines”.) Blue = Michigan. Michigan = Blue.

We’re not quite the same because we DO have a mascot, but it’s the same relationship. Sure, Clemson wears orange, Texas is burnt orange… but in the context of big-time college athletics, Orange = Syracuse. Syracuse = Orange. Otto positively reinforces that.

Is that the suit they use is like 30 years old and needs to be replaced. Otherwise, he’s a perfect mascot. We’re the Orange. He’s an orange. He’s immediately recognizable. He’s unique. All those other schools might wear the color, but they’re generic tigers or whathave you. There’s only one Otto the Orange. Look at the Western Kentucky mascot. I don’t know what a Hilltopper is, but I doubt it some amorphous maroon thing with a shit-eating grin on its mug. But everyone knows what school it represents because it’s so weird. Otto is perefect for Syracuse and he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

Get off the robin, already.

i just read actioncuse’s post above. still, towel guy rules

I was just going to post this! He’s goofy but lovable. And he’s an opposing free-throw shooters worst nightmare…

he eschewed the orange beach towel for two smaller orange towels, one in each hand. I liked to think that it was as if he stepped down from the assault rifle and opted to go SMGs akimbo.
