🐾Mascot: "Donkeys"

Meet Blaster, the donkey mascot that's stealing hearts at the Colorado School of Mines This cute and energetic burro is more than just a pretty face; Blaster is a symbol of determination and hard work. For over twenty years, Blaster has been celebrating touchdowns by running laps around the field with students, and it's a tradition that's deeply loved by the school community. To become Blaster, a donkey has to be around 3 feet tall, weigh about 500 lbs, and be super comfortable in loud environments – it's not an easy job, but someone's gotta do it [ICON-fast] Blaster's successor has to be adaptable, love running with people, and not get spooked by the crowd noise. It's a unique and fun way to show school spirit, and it's definitely one of the coolest mascots out there.
