TU's new mascot. Not Todd Graham. The one making a mime pose.
The University of Tulsa burdened us with their newest version of the Golden Hurrican mascot. Along with a side-story about Captain Cane that will titilate all the dorks that read comic books in their proverbial matriarchal basements.
The Captain ‘Cane story goes like this…Colin Cane, a freshman at The University of Tulsa, worked in IT support at night to help pay his way through college. During an electrical storm one night, Colin was called to the TU sports complex to fix a malfunctioning satellite that was broadcasting a live game. Never again would he watch his favorite team in action as a mere mortal. As he adjusted the satellite, the roar of the crowd coursed through the transmitter just as it was zapped with static electricity from the storm. Colin became entangled in a web of cyber-athletic forces. The atmospheric oddity known as a “binary vortex” mutated Colin over the course of several years. He eventually lost his hair but gained super-human powers. Thus he became Captain ‘Cane, a champion athlete and highly educated zealot of all things TU.
Real story? I think Tulsa bought the uniform from McDonalds’ 1980s campaign with Big Mac Tonight and applied some fresh paint.
