Lauren Cheney is better than Sinclair

Looks like he's been on the juice ever since his send me to Vegas pandering...

It's obvious. Wally has been using the Clear.

Like the tat, though....

not too shabby... good to have wally back!

I think wrv has it right. Such an endearing mascot, right up there with Atilla and Tamerlane!

Not exactly someone the little kids will run to for a hug.

Hard to believe his favorite food is PB&J.

He's back. And he only has to check in with his probation officer on a monthly basis.

So the jeans, suspenders, running shoes and striped shirt made the old Wally more of a river boat Pilot?

I think Wally should ride a vehicle into the Chiles Center before the Oregon game or the Gonzaga game. Maybe even every home game. He could "rev" up the fans. Too bad he probably wouldn't be on a boat/nautical vessel. I think a Harley Davidson may be more interesting.

Well unless motorcycle gangs wear captian's hats...

The Old Wally wore a rain slicker and smoked a pipe.

I never saw much to recommend a mascot that smelled like an ash tray.

I like the new buffed out athlete version better, even if there are question about whether he's on the baseball list (timeline is right)

Fail.

Holey Smokes.

Not a fan of the new Wally.

he is better than the pepperdine wave though

And lest we forget this:

I was a big fan of the robot.

He was distinctive, and he doesn't look like an escaped Villan.



It makes you think they misspelled Gale.

Haha yeah, and i liked the fact that he kind of had to be shoved in the corner cuz he was huge, blocked everyone's view and was relatively immobile

At least it isn't as generic as a bulldog... (there are at least 38 schools with that... yawn.)

More, if you include the Hoyas.

The only bulldog I like is this guy

I always liked

I could tolerate the rest of it if the face wasn't so weird. He should have sort of an aggressive scowl like most other human-looking mascots. He shouldn't look like a muppet. I'm glad they tried to do the Popeye thing, it just didn't come together all that well.

The weird smile/grimace on the old Wally scared a lot of little kids. I think they are trying to avoid that.
