How bizarre?

Yeah, so, you know, I'm glad that our mascot's getting some credit and all, but really, in any conversation involving a walking fur tree, a smiling orange juice glass (or whatever the hell it is out at Syracuse) and a dog that makes its owners sleep on the floor (which is where all Aggies should sleep anyway, in my opinion), how could a masked bandit possibly be deemed bizarre? So while I am glad Pete Fiutak listed the Masked Rider as one of the nation's top 25 college mascots, I must say that I'm a bit baffled by his description of the mascot. I mean, really, Ohio State has a waving chestnut, why is the Masked Rider bizarre? We're Red Raiders. Raiders. Raiders wear masks. Zorro wore a mask. The Lone Ranger. The Green freakin' Lantern. I've never seen a chestnut with arms, and when I get a dog, he's getting his own bed... on the floor.

Oh, and for those of you who have iTunes, be sure to check out the iTunesU homepage (you can access it by clicking on the green link on that page). Texas Tech is featured on the universities list now and a Health Sciences Center podcast series is promoted on the page.
