Daily Bull 9.5.18: Welcome Eight Ball The Tiger

We may have been remiss thus far, but better late than never, we suppose. It’s time we officially welcomed Clemson’s crazed and stimulated mascot Eight Ball.

For a touch of background, here are some profile pieces

• a complete and thorough introduction
• Wiki page
• his actual identity revealed!

Please welcome our friend Eight Ball.

It’s not a stretch to assume that Eight Ball may not seamlessly adjust to College Station’s extremely straight-laced vibe. But we think he’ll do fine on game day. So if you see Hunter S. Thompson’s spirit trapped in a plush mascot suit out there on Saturday, doing key bumps behind the port-a-potties and taking long pulls of Dickel out by the grill, give him a friendly wave and “Howdy!”. Just don’t take possession of any mysterious plastic baggies he may offer you.
