    Many people don't know that Turbo was played by a young Garrison Mathews.

    I hate Clutch. He's a bear. Bears aren't even native to the Houston area. WHY? Even if they'd have gone with something like a Chimpanzee I'd be able to connect it because they've sent Chimpanzee's to space. But no. For some inexplicable reason it's a bear.

    Honestly, it ought to be a feral hog. hahaha

    Clutch has been one of the most beloved among mascots. Due to his playful, mischievous nature.

    His look is simple yet effective.

    This is one rare aspect that has been elite for years, tall order.

    Turbo was an all-time great. Clutch is very good too, no disrespect. But yeah, why he a bear?

    Turbo would be unstoppable in the pace and space era. He just needs to learn to hit a stepback 3 off the trampoline.

    I think the correct answer is both.

    Except then it's way too Arkansas Razorbackish for us old Southwest Conference greybeards. Grew up hating those bastids (plus I had to live in Arkansas for 8 years)... Wait until we all die or something.

    PS -- didn't get the reference at first. Something nagged at me though so I searched feral hogs Houston. So yeah, objection withdrawn, your honor. A feral hog it is!

    sounds like she needs a lesson on important historical Houston figures.
