Here we go again.......... :rolleyes:

Mikeyratt will take it from here.

Sorry for the late reply people... Been way way busy with public appearances...

Kickeroo, the best soccer mascot in the country, eh? With all due respect Big Dave, how many soccer mascots have you seen? hmmmmm...

Not gonna hack on my buddy Kickeroo so not gonna talk smack there... And as for Timber Jim, well, two things....

One, Finnegan mentioned that he rapels from the rafters upside down with his drum every game... And Finnegan was kind enough to include a picture of him rapelling.

However, not only did I do the same thing (at high speed) every game my first season so its a "been there done that", but if that pic is of Timber Jim "upside down", he may want to research options on a makeover...

And two, I make it a personal policy not to make fun of, personally compete against, or compare myself to anyone who is eligible for AARP membership or gets his kicks out of sitting on wood... Sorry, its a personal policy...

I would like to travel to other game sights but coordinating the "mascot games" is very difficult with a heavy schedule so usually makes it impossible... Kickeroo, maybe next year we can plan out our respective mascot game days and attend... Let me know...

Well Thor since you challenged me...he he he ...I have seen many many mascots in action from the HS level (amatuers) to college football and hoops...to MLB and NFL. The definition of a great or best mascot varies from person to person. I`ll admit there is some bias to my statement. But Kickeroo is always on. This year alone he has endured 90 degree plus and 90% humidity at just about EVERY home game. He has fell through a wooden "stage", Had his tail ripped off,and just last week he performed in a constant downpour in which most fans ith and without raingear were miserable in. The point Im trying to make is no mater what the circumstances or conditions Kickeroo has NEVER failed to entertain when he is called upon to do so. This is not to slam any mascot im any way. I know its a tough job. But I feel we have the best mascot of any sport right here. Including the buzzard in Blacksburg. Sorry just a cheap shot at Virginia Tech.

Okay...for the last time:

Timber Jim---Rocks

Not heard from or defended:

Sammy Storm
Cannonball or Regiment Man.

Apologies to all others not mentioned, although El Paso has cheeleaders, so we won't pick on them too much, because it will make us look bad

Discuss amungst yourselves. I'm out. Peace and love

You're a little modest about Seamore, you totally stole his thunder (no offense Thor) at the Sportsplex.

Sammy Sounder's pretty cool. He stuffed a Landon Donovan shot during halftime at the USOC match...I don't know if Kickeroo or Thor can claim to have gone up against a World Cup forward and gotten the save.

To be honest, I really don't give Sammy Sounder a whole lot of thought, cause I'm usually too busy watching the game to be concerned with the whale's antics.

Like I said, though, he's pretty cool. He poses for pictures with the kids, leads chants every once in a while, and occassionally when he goes by the Pod he'll grab the mallet and bang a few beats on the drum. I guess the best word to describe him would be "playful"...pretty much what you'd expect from an orca whale.

I don't know If I could stop a Donovan kick, but perhaps you might want to go to this site for an explanation of my goalkeeping talents. It's a true story:
