Sparky to strut stuff

[MrSparkle1]

From 12/28 Chicago-Sun Times:

Picture may be fuzzy at upcoming halftime show


Just what everyone in Chicago has been waiting for:

A mascot challenge.

To be televised Jan. 7 at halftime of the Bulls-Utah Jazz game on Comcast SportsNet.

This competition should answer which mascot has the best basketball skills.

The challenge will match the pros against the collegiate mascots.

The pro team mascot lineup: Benny the Bull (Bulls), Tommy Hawk (Blackhawks, you may remember them as the NHL team in town), Southpaw (White Sox), Sparky (Fire) and Striker (Storm).

The college squad: Willie the Wildcat (Northwestern), Lu Wolf (Loyola), Sparky D. Dragon (UIC), Dibs (DePaul) and Reggie Redbird (Illinois State)

Until the Bulls started playing better recently, this could have been the highlight of the season at the United Center.

Yeah, should be interesting...hopefully Sparky hits a game winner or something. I'm sure it will be the Depaul mascot that does the best...that ratty-looking thing....his clothes needed to be ironed.

Also, I didn't see Sparky at the Depaul game or the UWP game....anyone know where he's been? Or maybe he's been there but I haven't noticed....

Anyone know if we can maybe get Ced into Sparky's costume

Prolly embarrassed just like the rest of us.
