Since it's spreading beyond the state boundaries

Otey the Swamp Possum


Cute facepalm to counteract the ugliness...

This is what happens when your NWA jealousy gets out of control.

So his name is Otey? I wonder if that's pronounced like the Buckwheat otay or like Garfield's Odie. Please be the Buckwheat version.

This is what I call him in my head. Haven't heard the official pronunciation yet.

ETA: The other mascot is apparently a Canadian Horse on Steroids...

wow, this is kind of what I would imagine the Ole Miss Rebel Black Bear mascot to look like.

I think someone could make that happen with pshop

I'm kind of a fan of the superhero horse. It kind of makes sense with the Travelers name.

I'm too old to wear a flat billed hat but thanks for looking out for me.

I sent them a tweet so hopefully the will respond. A retro possum shirt would be too good to pass up.
