Goldy Gopher For President of the B1G Mascots

Performing my civic duty got in the way of the Nugz. Enjoy this election day themed filler in its place.

You may not know it, but today is kind of an important day. It's the day we vote for who is going to represent the B1G as president of the mascots. Let's review the candidates and the good/bad about each of them (listed in alphabetical school order):

Herky Hawkeye

Pro: Isn't a half human/half mascot hybrid like this guy. Is patriotic.

Con: Smells like pig feces. Can't fly. Mistreats Floyd.
