Mascot

cot, but he shares the job with three
other student mascots. Together,
they divide up appearances. Mas
cot attends all football and men’s
basketball games, as well as com
mercials and community appear
ances. The three others attend
games for different sporting and
public relations events. At his
busiest, Mascot participated in
more than 20 events during three
weeks before school started.
To recompense him for his
time and effort, the University
pays Mascot a stipend. Mascot
said his benefits include travel
ing to away games, riding the
Harley-Davidson motorcycle,
hanging out with cheerleaders
and interacting with the fans.

Duck’s presence.
Mai Nagasaki, a freshman from
Japan, said having the Duck at
games “makes it exciting.”
Junior Justin Zuiker said when
the Duck rides the motorcycle and
holds an American flag at football
games, the Duck raises the fans’ en
ergy and spirits.
However, Mascot must also grin
and bear difficult situations such as
scared kids and over-enthused or
drunk fans who pull on his tail.
Mascot said he expects some ag
gressive “high fives” from spirited
and intoxicated fans, but last year
Mascot had his “feathers ruffled” by
an out-of-control fan and respond
ed in like manner.
When the men’s basketball team
was playing University of Nevada,
Las Vegas, in December 2000,
Mascot said he was tackled from
behind by an opposing fan. Then
three male cheerleaders grabbed

the fan, and Mascot, unwilling to
let anyone push around the Uni
versity’s reputation, said he threw
off his Duck head and punched
the man in the face.
While University athletes usu
ally make the news, Mascot’s
brawl was shown on local news
stations and SportsCenter as the
“Play of the Day.” Most of the
time, though, Mascot’s “Duck
Guard,” a security guard who trav
els with him everywhere, helps
him avoid such conflicts.
At his graduation, Mascot said he
will hang up his webbed feet and
pursue a career in human resources,
public relations or politics. Maybe
then, University fans will be able to
know the name of the mystery man
whose picture hangs on their walls.
