That's true for game days but Smokey makes many public appearances and is highly accessible. But let's not go down this route, this should be about Mike.

like I said... not trying to rag on Smokey (BTW I'd love to have a dog like that)... just what I knew from the behind the scenes story I saw on him and how he's handled

but I think the whole 24/7 aspect does play a bit of a role

I'm sure any fanbase that has a live mascot to gravitate to sees that particular animal as their personal pet... and part of their family
