Big Red in 9th place; Kentucky Wildcat 3rd in mascot race Western Kentucky University mascot is ninth; Kentucky Wildcat is third; link to vote for your favorite Kentucky mascot in this story. Less than three weeks left to get-out-the-vote for your choice By Brian Fremund, WKU Sports Information McLean, Va. - Election Day may be over, but one of the closest national races is still yet to be decided the race for Capital One's National Mascot of the Year. Big Red, along with 11 other lovable characters, was named to the Fifth Annual Capital One All-American Mascot team last summer, and are currently campaigning 24/7 in a fierce competition to be named Capital One National Mascot of the Year. Each mascot has shown their campaign savvy by wooing voters every football game and showing their fans that "fur is not a factor" in their "Fur Factor" campaign spots being aired nationally on ABC and ESPN. Big Red is in ninth place. Since Sept. 12, fans have got-out-the-vote for best beast at Capitol One Bowl. The top six mascots with the best win-loss records will move on to the on-line playoffs, and with a little under three weeks to go in the regular season, each mascot is trying to claw and paw their way to the top of the standings. Playoff voting begins Nov. 27 and runs through Dec. 18. As the vote tally approaches almost 5 million, North Carolina State's Mr. Wuf leads the pack, with Georgia Tech's Buzz, Kentucky's Wildcat and Wisconsin's Bucky Badger right on his oversized heels. This year's contest features a weekly claw-to-paw face-off among this year's All-Americans. The standings are as follows: (1) North Carolina State, Mr. Wuf; (2) Georgia Tech - Buzz; (3) Kentucky - Wildcat; (4) Wisconsin - Bucky Badger; (5) Maryland - Testudo; (6) Syracuse - Otto; (7) Air Force - The Bird; (8) Auburn - Aubie; (9) Western Kentucky - Big Red; (10) Washington State - Butch T. Cougar; (11) Tennessee - Smokey; and, (12) Oklahoma - Sooner. This year's race for the Capital One National Mascot of the Year is one of the closest to date, said Steve Schooff at Capital One. With just three weeks to go, its time for alumni, students and fans to get- out-the-vote for one of the most important national races that has yet to be decided. Remember, voters are allowed one vote per day so vote early, and vote often! The fan vote is the sole determinant of the winner; the people choose. Voting began in September, with 11 weekly match-ups between the All-Americans. The top six mascots with the best win-loss records face off in on-line playoffs in December. The winner will be pronounced Capital One National Mascot of the Year on January 1, 2007 during the Capital One Bowl. This year's fuzzy crew was chosen from Division I-A and I-AA athletic programs with college football teams. They made the squad after being ranked on mascot musts such as interaction with fans, originality and pedigree. The panel of judges included mascot guru and historian, Dr. Roy Yarbrough, and representatives from ESPN and Capital One. This story was posted on 2006-11-11 05:15:24
