I don't think I've ever disagreed with you before, but I believe this was one of the greatest mascots in America. I'd pay to see an WWE type bout between FIU's Sunblazer and WKU's Big Red Hilltopper.OwlFamily said

Not to derail the thread, but couldn't resist another C-USA boff in the same place as the FIU one…
How about the homeless crackhead from UTEP?

This sounds like a great story for the University Press, the alumni magazine, etc. to dig into some research, talk to folks on campus who were around then (and are still around and/or still in the Boca area), and come together with a nice cover story on the history of Owlsley.

There is a page on "History of Owlsley" which is currently pulling up blank for me but will hopefully tell the story in the near future.
