Missouri State’s beloved mascot, Boomer, won his first Missouri Valley Conference Mascot Madness title in his first appearance in the championship round. Boomer’s 51-49 percent win over Northern Iowa’s TC was a nail-biter until the very end.
“I can’t talk, but I can type (although it’s difficult),” Boomer said in a Tweet. “This is my first #MVCMascotMadness title and it feels beary good to win. It’s awesome to be part of the @MVCsports mascot family.”
When the Facebook poll went live at 9 a.m., Boomer started a little slow out of the gate as the bear trailed TC around the two hour mark, according to the Missouri Valley.
