Forget TimeOut: I choose Parker
So the Fresno State Bulldogs football team will be led on the field by its mascot, TimeOut, on Saturday, and fans will learn whether the new or old version won in the offseason poll conducted by the university.
Well, maybe the new one wouldn't have gotten so much flak if he took some cues from the Fresno Grizzlies baseball team's mascot, Parker. I came across this 2008 highlight package released on YouTube earlier this week, and it brought a smile to my face.
And, as you all know, me and Parker go way back.
Comments:
You know I always figured Parker as a boxers kind of guy. Go fig.
I'll have to admit, I wasn't a big fan of Parker at first. I liked Wild Thing. But Parker grew on me and now I love the guy. Definitely Fresno's best mascot (yes even better than Kopi).

Dude this is great! This is one of the reasons I walk down to the stadium with my wife and watch the games on Mondays. This is what makes the game more than just a boring game for kids.

Seriously, how does he get his stomache to jiggle like that? It's amazing :) It's like he has a hula hoop around his belly and he's trying to keep it from falling down. I also enjoy the song in the video... makes me think of that weird finger dance people used to do in jr. high school.

I think next season we should have a Will "Crazy Legs" Albritton/Parker dance off... just a thought.
Will for President '08!!!
