Kolek planning to go pro
The music in the background at the beginning is the same as the one for presenting the Big Noggin of the game.
I wish our mascots did 1/10th the stuff Bango does.
The guy who plays Bango is a total a-hole but I gotta admit the stuff he does is amazing.
Did you miss the part where I said the stuff he does is amazing? I requested a trampoline for the eagle a few years ago. No dice.
I know it wasn't suppose to be a comparison, but you can't really expect full-time students in the eagle's costume to even come within a 1/10th of a athlete that gets paid big bucks to be Bango full time.
i am curious to what is considered big bucks for a team mascot?
Why is Bango an a-hole?/just curious, not calling you out or anything
He's a pretty arrogant guy. I guess you can be when you can do moves like that.
One funny story: A few years back the Milwaukee Wave had a mascot night which included a game at halftime. All of the mascots of various places around the Milwaukee area suited up in one of the empty locker rooms in the arena.Bango must have felt it was beneath him to share the locker room with the others so he requested his own locker room. Bernie the Brewer, Roscoe, the sausages, etc. had no problem sharing the locker room. Grabowski (the Chicago Rush mascot) was pissed asking who the hell Bango thought he was. Once the mascot game started, Bango was up to his usual stuff knocking the other mascots down and just being a d-bag. Grabowski had seen enough and proceeded to "accidently" kick Bango right in the crotch. Bango was on the ground for a minute or two.
You watch that ladder backflip dunk video and you wonder .. how in hell does he get insurance to do something like that? He's one quarter turn from snapping his neck on the landing. All for a four second, stupid halftime stunt.
Bango is a kitten compared to this guyhttp://deadspin.com/5527602/seattleites-find-bango-the-bucks-ladder-stunt-a-bit-derivative
