[edit] Raider Red

Clarification please. The last line of "A second mascot" reads,"Raider Red is a person wearing an inflatable." An inflatable what? --Eric 12:08, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I think it was meant to say "inflatable costume". If you look at the picture at the Raider Red article, the Raider Red mascot has an over-sized head. However, a quick Google search did not show me evidence this is inflatable, vs made out of styrofoam or whatever. I changed the sentence to say "Raider Red is a person wearing a costume."

Fair enough, Johntex!--Eric 11:42, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

O.K. ...this is my first attempt at editing, so forgive me if i'm doing it all wrong. "The Masked Rider" is also the title of a book by Neil Peart (drummer for the Band RUSH) about his bicycle tour through a few West African Countries.

[edit] Notability

How is this mascot notable? Except for a brief blurb in a minor publication, all the references in this article are self-references. In short, this mascot (as far as the current sources are concerned) has not been the subject of any article. Sure, this mascot exists, but so what? Does every school mascot get an article? At any rate, I believe this article can be salvaged, but right now it's in poor shape as far as sources are concerned. Rklawton 15:49, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
