Top Daug: Why OU mascot's return prompted some detective work

The first evidence of a dauggie dilemma surfaced before my breakfast digested.

Mid-morning Tuesday, an email popped into my inbox from Tom Moore, a regular reader. He had seen my column about OU bringing back the beloved Top Daug mascot and one of the last people to fill the costume full-time before Top Daug was retired in 2004 – and Moore said it was wrong.

Top Daug didn't retire in 2004.

Moore knew because his niece had been Top Daug after that.

My first thought, honestly, was that Moore must have had the years mixed up.
