It's the offseason...but been thinking about this for a while now and admittedly haven't been to a home game in like 10yrs (don't live in Orlando anymore) but do we still do this every home game or just on select games?
(P.s. this is one of the better clips I found, most are not this good)
If not every game, it should be. If so, this needs to be upgraded in the Big12. Sorry but the white horse and golden knight (in his armor that a cosplayer can make over the weekend) are a bit outdated. The white horse just screams cute/innocent. It's like seeing a horse in the county fair. Doesn't help that the knight gallops at a mild speed. I would love a more modern, badass black knight (with updated armor) on a black stallion galloping at full speed when Zombie Nation starts to play. FSU, in their own unique way, pulls this off and it's mainstay and gets featured on TV every time they play. I think I've seen our horse once on TV. Not trying to us with FSU but, you know...not many schools with horse mascots/entrances...
If this can be modernized/pulled off right in 2023, it can create a lot of hype during home games and actually be featured more on TV. We should take advantage of our horse/knight mascot and do something cool and unique, not just have them there just cause & and not modernize it. We're still a young school, it's fine to refine things...we don't have to be married to the white horse and old looking knight galloping and not really doing all that much.
