MASCOT PROFILE
Reggie the Raider
Fulton-Montgomery Community College
Share your support for your favorite mascot!
- Where are you from?
I was born on Treasure Island and moved to Bristol, England at the tender age of 12 to live with me cousin Blackbeard. Blackbeard was the swashbuckler who taught me how to put on a “game face.” Once I perfected it, I moved to Johnstown, New York and took on the position of Raider Mascot! - What do you do to get pumped before a game?
I fill my gullet with lotsa pasta… topped with some fresh caught shrimp by yours truly. They say ye carbs are a good pre-game meal. I have a spike of energy, but then I begin to feel sleepy, so I head to Books & Bytes, the College’s café, where I order me a large dark roast! I chug me coffee, throw a little “Eye of the Tiger” on me iPod, throw some Rocky air punches and me energy returns! - What is your favorite snack?
A roast beef sandwich from Arrrrrby’s or a good ol' hARRRRRd boiled egg! - Who is your biggest SUNY rival?
I would have to say it be Clinton Community College – I heartily enjoy sailing up Lake Champlain! - How do you stay in shape?
I practice me sword fighting with me pal Captain Morgan or me cousin Blackbeard. - What do you do in your spare time?
I love to ballroom dance with one of me dance partners… Miss Anne Bonny or Miss Mary Read. Mary is one tough ol’ pirate gal, did you know she took down a lad in a sword fight!? Aye, don’t make Mary mad! - What is your favorite TV show?
I have several but the ones I most fancy include Gilligan’s Island, Fantasy Island and Bones… Pretty much any show with islands, skulls, or sails float my boat! - What’s the greatest aspect of being a Mascot?
I get to stand between the players and fans to watch college athletes giving it their all… just like a Raider! - Name a place that you would like to travel to.
Why the Chips AHOY Factory of course! - What’s the best part about being from New York?
I can sail down the Hudson River and back into me beloved Atlantic Ocean during my off-season!
