TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Football => Topic started by: SkinnyBenny on August 28, 2010, 08:30:49 PM

People from other schools are very weirded out by our mascot. I love the d00d, but you have to admit it is slightly creepy. I think if we were to give Willie arms and legs that match his big animal head, it would look way better/not as bizarre. I'm not talking big goofy mascot arms and legs. Something kind of form-fitting so he can still maintain his mobility, because I wouldn't be able to live with myself if my "Should we give Willie arms and legs?" thread led to fewer very entertaining and high quality Willie skits/Willie skit tackles because of his limited mobility.
Am I being :powerespect:?
-
I enjoy pretending to not care what other people think/say. < do this
-
Or you could just get rid of the giant cat head.
-
I like Willie the way he is. No need to break a long tradition just to try (and fail) to get more exposure on ESPN commercials or whatever other perceived benefits there are.

This actually is a huge benefit.
-
Yeah, cause we wanna be well represented in the once in a year 5 minute special on mascots. We can't let the banana slugs continue their dominance!!!

wut

Skinny, I know I have no credibility with my minuscule post count, but just want to say I support what you're doing.
-
Are you suggesting something along the lines of the Slugerrr model?
-
I could see adding a cape...and remember, must be able to ride Harley

hey guys, why don't we drop our ag department why we're at it. Then those meanie KU fans would be left with NOTHIN'! :ksu:
-
If Willie could dunk and kick FGs like he used to, he would get more cred as costumed 'cots can't do that. Having a yell-leader with a big head is not impressive.
-
I personally like the "head only" approach. It kind of brings the Every Man A Wildcat concept to life. If you don't like Willie, well... you're just not EMAW, just a fan of KSU athletics. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Take a look at these uglies...

Those aren't form fitting. I support this movement by SkinnyBenny. Make something basically Under Armour with fur.
Don't forget the standard powerespect response:
But it would be so hot in a fur suit!
-
It's all fun and games until we lose a couple of Willies.
-
The fact that we have to ask means, yes, we need to do it.
-
Mascots with arms and legs are the weird ones.

shazbot! that. Just look how ridiculous that fracking gayhawk is, and that should answer your question. Don't shazbot! with the current Willie, unless you are just dying for us to look gay.
-
I always thought Willie should cover the skin on his arms and legs. Just wear an under-armor like shirt under the football jersey and receivers gloves, with knee high socks or tights on the legs. For basketball just wear the long sleeve warm-ups and pants.
I think willie looks ridiculously stupid during basketball season.

QFMFT, nicname. Gooch is a cooch. Willie looks at his best when it's a November game and he's wearing his gloves and long sleeves to keep warm under his football pads. The less human skin you can see, the better. This, combined with the missing shoulder pads, is what makes basketball Willie look so ridiculously heinous.
-
If K-State's athletic department could afford arms and legs for Willie, they would have done it by now.

pffffffffffft :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

All I know is that any costume changes to Willie better not entail covering up his hands because he sure needs them to sign autographs properly. Every time he comes to the sidelines for autographs, I haul ass down the stairs and cut in front of all the little kids and have him sign about a dozen trading cards so that I can sell them on Ebay or give them to my own kids someday. My goal in life is to one day actually catch a shirt thrown into the stands. I know this sounds hard to believe, but after all the games I've been to over the years, both football and basketball, I have never caught a damn t-shirt, and it pisses me off! :curse: :curse: :curse: I have to admit it would really mean a lot to catch one thrown by Willie. I'm just hoping to catch an XXXL, but if not, then I'm sure they would let me trade it in.

I hear this stupid crap from a guy I know who is a KU fan, flunked out, but is still a fan. Get's pretty old, but mascot smack is all they will have to discuss that is relevant after the 4th.
-
i think it gets more attention for being weird looking. Very goEMAW if you ask me.

Willie sucks. Every time he does that thing where he runs by the front row and gives people high fives, I always put my hand out, and then pull it back as he passes, yelling "Psyche!" Dumbass never sees it coming.

Strong rumblings that BMW aren't even Ben's actual initials. He "borrowed" them from a poster on phog.

Yeah, and his signature rough ridin' blows.
He literally writes 'Willie' (Not in cursive) and then does this weird curl with his W. I'm beginning to think that he doesn't sign his own autographs and the athletic department just has a couple of the cheerleaders do it before the game, it's pretty girly handwriting.
I also don't think he is very smart. He only throws out XXL t-shirts, which leads me to believe that he has no judgement of size. Could be that he has a giant head and everything looks bigger in it. Who knows...
-
To really scare the kids, give Willie octopus-arms. :ohno:
-
I remember when you used to be able to see the dudes face inside willies mouth...we should bring that back
-
Also, Willie should be able to talk. I realize that's kinda against the mascot laws but it could really open up new entertainment venues. Maybe a really thick east european accent Willie? "I must break you" type of crap. Also, Willie should beat the holy hell out of opposing mascots. Dude's got human arms, might as well use that advantage. Yeah, we'll probably have to get a new Wille like every week but I'm sure we could fill the openings. Would be pretty neat to see Trim/Willie choke out that weirdass husker jr thing. Hop up and down on your own head now, [redacted]!!! If I was Willie for a week, I'd totally use a foreign object to bash some other mascot in the junk. Like pissing blood bash.

I actually agree with this. We need more gore.

i like willie as half cat, half man. superior to an all-wildcat suit...best of both worlds. however, willie once stole my ray ban aviators, ran around with them, dropped them by the cheerleaders, and then proceeded to forget that he ever took them. thankfully one of his 'assistants' picked them up and ran them over to me minutes later. still holding a grudge, and maybe if willie had awkward furry arms he could no longer pull these kind of stunts.

He literally writes 'Willie' (Not in cursive) and then does this weird curl with his W.
Those curls make a cat paw bad person!

I wouldn't mess with Willie (and I mean that in every sense). His signature has been the same for many years -- its part of the tradition.
You want to bring something to games that has a chance of making the "best mascot" lists? Don't put Willie in some damn footie PJs... bring back Touchdown! Then, let him chase down a live chicken in the middle of the field for next year's KU game. :pray:

Basketball Willie is a lost cause -- unless it's the extremely rare year he can actually dunk.

No.
Willie is a versatile mascot, able to dress up like a basketball player, football player, a fuckin soldier, or an astronaut. You don't get that kind of flexibility with the stupid arms/legs. Plus the arms/legs make them look cartoony and stupid.

Was at the game, so I didn't see it on camera, but my source (elite cameraman) compared it to someone vacuuming a couch (suede) and leaving streaks in it.

I was at the game and could see it from under the SW scoreboard. It did look like someone had vacuumed tracks in it. Looked just as bad when I watched it on DVR later.
