Just remembered that we never posted the championship results of this year’s RTC Mascot Death Match.  So here goes…

By a resounding margin, Western Kentucky’s Big Red easily handled Cleveland St.’s Magnus the Viking in the final match.   Admittedly, the bigger upset was in the semifinal round when the WKU mascot took out Xavier’s Blue Blob.   So congratulations to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers and their mascot, Big Red, for winning the first annual RTC Mascot Death Match!

This has been fun.  Check back next year during the first week of the NCAA Tournament for the next version, and thanks to everyone who voted over the last month. 

And we’re finally down to the RTC Mascot Death Match Championship between the W. Kentucky Big Red (who pulled the shocking upset over Xavier’s Big Blob) and the Cleveland State’s Magnus the Viking.  As always, vote early and often.  We’ll keep this up all week for your final selection. 

And now we’re down to the Final Four.  Somehow, Cosmo Cougar continues to move on through the brackets as a darkhorse, but he’ll have his hands full with Magnus the Viking in one game.  In the other, featuring the two favorites of the entire Tournament, we have the Blue Blob vs. Big Red.  Nobody knows how that one will go down.  Only you can decide!

Here we go with the Elite Eight matches of Mascot Death Match.  We’ll have the Final Four up this weekend.

Ok, we’re ready for the Sweet Sixteen of Mascot Death Match.  Things are starting to heat up.  Who is your favorite?  Voting will be open the next couple of days.

Continuing on into the second round of the Mascot Death Match…  you can continue to vote on these throughout the early part of this week, and we’ll have the Sweet Sixteen Matchups up on Thursday.
