  1. Where are you from?
    Binghamton Zoo
  2. How many teams do you represent?
    I rep all 21 sports, but ONE TEAM #CodeGreen 
  3. How were you chosen to be school mascot?
    Our old mascot wasn’t cutting it, so they hired me to take care of the job.
  4. Do you have any friends that are mascots?
    I have plenty of friends, a few are mascots. You may all know Max; he’s the Binghamton Senators mascot
  5. What is your favorite campus event?
    Ooh, that’s a tough one.  So many to choose from, but if I had to choose, Homecoming.  Getting together with thousands of my closest friends is pretty awesome!
  6. What is your favorite food?
    Spiedies: food of the Southern Tier  
  7. What is your favorite television or movie animal?
    Who else? Cat Woman.
  8. What do you like to do for fun?
    Everything and anything Binghamton, such as bringing Bearcat Pride to the local community
  9. What’s it like to be a mascot?
    The most fun you can have. I get to energize the fans and meet all kinds of great people.
  10. What do you consider the ideal fan?
    Anyone that eats, sleeps, breathes and, most importantly, bleeds GREEN!
  1. Where are you from?
    An egg.
  2. How many teams do you represent?
    Officially, 17 intercollegiate teams, but I like to think I am also the mascot of our club sports and activities like women’s rugby, ultimate Frisbee and the Zombie Defense League. When the zombies come (and they will come), I’ll be the mascot who survives.
  3. How were you chosen to be school mascot?
    I tried a few different professions before doing this. Selling live bait was a disaster, and so was my windshield cleaning business. Eventually I had to accept reality that six-foot-tall red birds are probably bound to end up as mascots. When I heard Plattsburgh had an opening, I migrated. I’ve been here ever since.
  4. Do you have any friends that are mascots?
    I think you mean do I have any friends who are mascots. And the answer is no because I have a habit of correcting grammar and most mascots are straight up sloppy in that department. You should see some of the texts I get.
  5. What is your favorite campus event?
    Definitely move-in day. All that nesting activity makes my plumage puff up.
  6. What is your favorite food?
    There are two kinds of food that are better in Plattsburgh than anywhere else in the world – Michigans (look it up) and cold cheese pizza. I like both.
  7. What is your favorite television or movie animal?
    Spongebob Squarepants.
  8. What’s it like to be a mascot?
    Being a mascot is like being in a parade everywhere you go.
  9. What do you like to do for fun?
    I like to photobomb people on campus. I also like Gangnam Style and driving the college’s Zamboni.
  10. What do you consider the ideal fan?
    My favorite fans are small children because they cheer with their whole hearts, they are constantly giving me hugs, and they are always trying to feed me. They’re like tiny grandmothers.
