GET BUCK, BEAT THE DUCK!

The only thing I saw this morning on my way into the office!

Homecoming was a great success at Old Dominion this year. Big Blue brought Norfolk yet another win, making him undefeated with 8 in the W column. The football Monarchs were also able to defeat the Panthers of Georgia State, bringing their record back over .500 (4-3).

In other good news, Big Blue took over the number #1 spot overall once again, having the best record (tied with Paydirt Pete) and the most votes overall, now leading Monte by just over 4,000.

Big Blue's preparation
 for this week's match-up!

Week 8:
Big Blue had no issues last week in defeating Smokey of Tennessee, though Smokey was shaping up to be a difficult opponent in the weeks leading up to last week’s match-up. Big Blue started off strong and ended even stronger. The Monarch mascot ended with 54,122 votes to Smokey’s 17,330.

Week 9:

This week’s match-up is looking to prove who the BEST MASCOT really is, or at least who has the BEST FANS (ODU of COARSE!). The Duck of Oregon is coming into this week with a record of 6-2 and a total vote count of over 500,000. This battle is much anticipated and Big Blue has been preparing himself all weekend. Blue released a statement for his fans in order for them to get BUCK about this week’s contest against the DUCK. One line from his address to the Monarch Nation  says “Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened.” Monarch fans should take this statement into consideration each time they vote so that they know what is at stake in this EPIC battle. When asked about the Duck, Big Blue said that he wants to dethrone him as the face of ESPN and become the new ‘hottest’ mascot around.

Now, as a Monarch fan, Big Blue wants you to get BUCK, and BEAT THE DUCK!
