Happy National Mascot Day!

We’re taking a moment to look back at our own legend: Clyde the Cougar. For those who don't know, Clyde didn't just retire. In early 2020, he vanished into thin air. No note. No final high-five. Just an empty storage closet and a lingering scent of the Stanley Gym. It’s been over six years, and the case has gone colder than a Calgary January:

❌ LAST SEEN: Early 2020, dressed in abrasive 90s attire and looking for the campus bar
❌ DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: 6'2" in foam socks, a shockingly huge nose (rumoured to be part weasel), and a severe inability to navigate standard Wyckham House doorways
❌ KNOWN THEORIES: Did he escape to live with wild cougars in Fish Creek Park? Is he in a Mascot Witness Protection Program in Saskatchewan? Or did a rival school pull off the ultimate heist?

The search for Clyde continues. Check out our blog highlighting Clyde's life, career, legacy, and learn what made this self-proclaimed party animal an absolute SAMRU legend. (Link below! 🔗) https://monkeylink.co/10b3b3
