Gunston was the poo, and Mason administration should take a big whiff. I'm looking forward to the next call asking for donations, so I can report that I won't be doing any more giving w/out Gunston there to receive it.

Jolly Green Giant half covered in pee - hahaha This is better than Gunston though. Why didn't they select something that doesn't look ridiculous. LIke FSU's mascot is bad-ass, it's like an actual person and not just a foamy ridiculous monstrosity. Further, the Mason logo needs to go. What's up with the shooting star, it's like they're appealing to kids with names like Corky. The shooting star is like "a friendly punch in the arm after some embarrassing failure". Mason effing smoked Brown though -- beat up on some smart kids. Nice.

Nothing says "respect" quite like a wetbrained Jolly Green Giant half covered in pee.

As a part time student at Mason, I would see Gunston around and just shake my head. At least this guy can get some respect instead of a goofy-assed Cookie-monster.

They have to paint his face or else there is nothing to set "it" apart from GW's mascot Or the Patriot's mascot.

Why can't the mascot be cute and angry? Like an Oompah Loompah crossed with Robert Reich? And throw a little Gamera in there for good measure.

Actually, he's kinda got a colonial Yoda/Green Goblin vibe goin on. If they really wanted to pull in the geeks, they'd have gone with a hideously augmented She Hulk in a thong. Send me in coach! I don't need any headgear!

Makes me think of the old 'limon' commercials from Sprite. Or was that 7-Up? Anyhow, this new mascot looks like the love child of the Incredible Hulk and Martha Washington, with a bit of Bananaman thrown in for good measure.

He looks like he just got junkpunched.

So, is he yellow and green all over? If so, it's a sign that he should loosen his grip.

Just call him George and watch Mason twirl in his grave.

WTF is that? Might not be so bad if it wasn't for the Braveheart face painting.

He looks like a crackhead on the warpath to rehab.

all kinds of lame. did they steal a demon deacon and re-paint?

Thank god they finally got rid of Oscar the grouch on Acid. Gunston was so stupid. This new mascot looks good, but it's weird that it's not named. I hope they don't agree on a stupid name.
