For the past several years, Vanderbilt’s beloved mascot, Mr. C., has been seen as “flabby,” “weak” and “puny.”  So, (with the urging of the athletics marketing staff), he underwent an “extreme makeover” in the spirit of TV reality shows.

You can see three episodes of his makeover on the Athletic Web site:

The Gym
Eatin’ Right
Under the Knife

The new and improved Mr. C. was unveiled during the men’s basketball game versus Georgia Tech on Saturday, Dec. 1.

Vanderbilt students Danielle Vocelle (sophomore), Michael Fagan (freshman) and Sam Newman (freshman) rotate playing Mr. C at Commodore games throughout the year. They also attend dinners, meetings and numerous other events to represent Vanderbilt.
