		<description><![CDATA[The Big Ten mascots always seem to have the best time when they come to Chicago for the Big Ten Football Media Day and Kickoff Luncheon, and this year was no exception. Bucky, Brutus, Herky, Sparty, Herbie, and Purdue Pete stopped by &#8220;Good Day Chicago&#8221; and took over the local Fox affiliate&#8217;s TV newsroom during BTN&#8217;s appearance to promote Saturday&#8217;s BTN Big10K race downtown. This comes on the heels of a recent music video back-and-forth over the summer. Read all of the details over here. Also, way back in 2009, a few mascots mingled at the reception as only they [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=59834&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It was funny, it drew plenty of attention, and it all seemed innocent enough. That is, until someone noticed the video didn&#8217;t include Purdue Pete and Northwestern&#8217;s Willie the Wildcat. And now Pete and the &#8216;Cat have responded. Subsequent news coverage of the mascots&#8217; initial viral video revealed that the omission of those two mascots was an unfortunate miscommunication between the mascot programs. Honestly, we [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=59125&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The video view counter on YouTube suggests that many of you have seen the variety of video spoofs of Carly Rae Jepsen&#8217;s &#8220;Call Me Maybe&#8221; video. There was the Harvard baseball team, the SMU rowing team, and the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders. Even Sesame Street&#8217;s Cookie Monster got in on the act with his own distinct cookie-related twist. You can now count a handful of Big Ten mascots as inspired fans of the song, too. A sharp-eyed reader spotted this video posted on the YouTube channel for The Real Sparty, which is run by the Michigan State Student Alumni Foundation.
