One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others

By

Surprise! Our very own Quaker was invited to College Gameday announcer Lee Corso’s birthday party — or at least the scripted version filmed for this Gameday promo. Also on the invite list? Mascots representing a smattering of college football’s most significant programs: Florida’s Albert Gator, Ohio State’s Brutus Buckeye and Texas Tech’s Raider Red, among others. Though we love the Quaker, and can’t wait for the season opener against Lafayette come Saturday, it seems odd that Penn Football was included in this rather exclusive fiesta. Perhaps this is the first time that being mistaken for Penn State has ever worked in our favor?

I don’t think the inclusion of the Penn Quaker mascot was a mistake or confusion with PSU. On the 2002 Game Day segment filmed from Franklin Field, Lee Corso donned a Quaker hat in connectiion with his prediction that Penn would win the showdown with Harvard. Of course, Penn won that game going away. Lee Corso looked great in his Quaker mascot look-alike.
