Sam the Minuteman's lead is in jeopardy over on the CapitalOne Bowel Mascot Challenge. Naturally, this is because he has been pitted against the ultimate mascot of our age - Herbie Husker! Now the Holy Trinity in my ancestral homeland might be The Bobfather, The Osborne, and the Holy Herbie Husker, but I think I have to pull for my former neighbor from Amherst, Sam, this time. Perhaps it is my disenchantment with this West Coast Offense thing, or perhaps it's because the latest edition of Herbie's foam head just isn't as stunningly handsome as the old one. Anyway, Sam needs your help. Go to the ESPN college football page and follow the mascot challenge linky to vote. (Requires Java or Flash or some other evil peice of klunky overblown website software to vote, but what can ya do?)

I voted this morning, as of right now Sam is up by 2354 votes. He's winning over Herbie Husker from Univ. of Nebraska. All 12 mascots will be at this Saturdays game against URI.

Vote For Sam (http://r.espn.go.com/espn/contests/capitalone/thanks)

Come on 1AA Brothers & Sisters !!! Sam the Minuteman is kicking some butt against those 1A hot shots - please vote to help send a message to everybody who thinks there is no such thing as 1AA football.

Duke Dog went 11-0 in the voting against all of the opposing mascots last year. Duke Dog's favorite week was beating VT's Hokie Bird. JMU represented I-AA well on the mascot level but will probably never be allowed to participate again as lots of students sent hate e-mail to Capital One after Monte won the overall competition due to Monte placing higher enough than Duke Dog in the judges' portion to put him ahead in the overall standings.
