We’re into the full swing of college dual meet season now, and one of the great traditions of college sports are those zany mascots. In this parody video, the mascots of the Big Ten Conference get together to “shake it off” to Taylor Swift’s latest hit.
A majority of the Big Ten schools are featured, each with their own unique flair. The Rutgers Scarlet Knight leads a full marching band, Herbie Husker and Lil’ Red fly around on trikes and Sparty does his best to distract a studying student. Goldy Gopher zips around on a go-cart before pining around campus for a date, while Brutus Buckeye seems maybe a little too into his date with Miss Ohio. Meanwhile Purdue Pete thrashes on the drums and gets busy with a Swiss exercise ball, Bucky Badger shreds on a guitar and Herky the Hawk jams old school to a giant boombox.
Over the past few years, the Michigan men and Minnesota women have proved to be the best swimmers in the Big Ten, but now its up to you to decide: which mascot is the best dancer?
Definately Purdue Pete!
