I don't think a lot of the mascots perform at all home games either...
....I've been to games at Brown, Providence, Lowell, Merrimack,
Harvard and several other schools without having seen a mascot.  This
despite the fact that almost all of the mascots have been described in
previous postings.
 
Goldy Gopher?  So much for the days of fierce, fighting mascots....Goldy
Gopher sounds like a Disney character.  "This week substituting for Alvin
and the Chipmunks............"  I guess if your team is good enough you
can get away with a friendlier image.
