- Where are you from?
Morrisville, NY
- How many teams do you represent?
15
- How were you chosen to be school mascot?
I was identified for intimidating stature, brute strength, determined leadership and steely resolve as a colt while wandering the bucolic fields surrounding Morrisville State College. For years many attempted to rein me in, but I was young, wild and had to be free. But, once I saw the humans at Morrisville State College and I shared many characteristics, I decided to join them. I have to be honest, many of them are horse lovers and the palatial facilities they have for us horses didn’t hurt either. Now I stand with my fellow mustangs, human and horse alike, to let visiting teams know that we mean business.
- Do you have any friends that are mascots?
Oh sure. Being a mascot is like joining an exclusive club. When I get some free time I like to visit with Wildcat at SunyIT and Red Dragon at Suny Oneonta. We get together and discuss things non-mascots wouldn’t know anything about. They are great friends, that is, until our schools are competing against each other. When it is competition time we set aside our friendship.
- What is your favorite campus event?
Mustang Weekend- Hello! It’s named after me of course. This fall event brings thousands of students, friends, family members, alumni and community members out to celebrate the new school year. We have a bbq, a homecoming football game, alumni reunions, a cruise-in and a carnival to name a few. Last year I zip lined through the carnival surrounded by all of my campus friends!
- What is your favorite food?
Pizza! It is a great break from my usual diet of grass and grain. I’d love to enjoy our campus-produced ice cream, Molly’s Choice but I’m lactose intolerant. TMI?
- What is your favorite television or movie animal?
Fillies, gotta love the fillies. Did you see War Horse? Have tissues ready is all I am saying.
- What do you like to do for fun?
Run. I could run for days. There is nothing like the feeling of the fresh country air flowing through your mane.
- What’s it like to be a mascot?
Being a mascot is being free to show the world just how passionate you are about what is important to you. I see the humans around me are often reserved in their day-to-day activities. I try to show them that when you are at a Morrisville State College game you are free to let loose and have some fun. I try to show by example (and by that I mean getting a little crazy) that a mustangs game is an outlet for showing your school pride.
- What do you consider the ideal fan?
I really enjoy when the whole family comes out to our competitions, especially the younger fans. Their passion and excitement is unmatched. I try to make sure that everyone has a great time, but I focus on the next generation of mustangs.

- Where are you from?
I am a true Long Islander, born and raised in Stony Brook, NY, but I'm well-known around the country!
- How many teams do you represent?
I represent 20 Varsity Sports that are members of the America East Conference and CAA (Football) along with the nationally recognized Spirit of Stony Brook Marching Band.
- How were you chosen to be school mascot?
I have been a part of the Stony Brook family since 1995--just a year after the Stony Brook varsity teams became known as the Seawolves. The fourth nickname in Stony Brook history, Seawolves was selected from a list of more than 200 possible names by a 32-person committee comprising students, alumni, faculty, and administrators.
- Do you have any friends that are mascots?
Of course! I am friends with all my fellow mascots in the America East Conference and I am looking forward to meeting new friends next year with our move to the CAA for football. I am also friendly with many of our fellow Long Island mascots in the professional leagues such as Quackerjack from the LI Ducks and Sparky the Dragon from the NY Islanders. In addition, during the summer of 2011 I was fortunate enough to be a part of the 2011 ESPN College Gameday commercial where I met many well-known, collegiate mascots!
- What is your favorite campus event?
My favorite campus event would have to be homecoming which is known as Wolfstock: Long Island's Biggest Backyard BBQ! Nothing is better than seeing all my Seawolves fans, alumni, and friends of the local community come together for a fun filled day at Stony Brook University!
- What is your favorite food?
I like to wolf down everything that's put in front of me!
- What is your favorite television or movie animal?
My favorite movie animal is the Big Bad Wolf.
- What do you like to do for fun?
Besides supporting my campus community and amping up the crowd at Seawolves games, I love to travel around the world! Check out my “Where in the World is Wolfie” travel map to see all the places I have been so far! Click here: http://bit.ly/bytDEp
- What’s it like to be a mascot?
It’s the best job in the world! I get to meet so many different people and represent one of the greatest Universities - Stony Brook!
- What do you consider the ideal fan?
I would have to say that the ideal fan is one who loves Stony Brook, gets their RED ON, goes to as many games as possible and roars with excitement every time we make a great play!
