The Tiger & Tiger Cub Mascot Tradition
Since 1954, a Clemson student has adorned the mascot suit to entertain the Clemson faithful. Joined in 1993 by The Tiger Cub, these furry creatures can be seen imitating game officials (which is now against the rules), signing autographs, getting their picture taken with dignitaries (President Reagan, President Bush, Olympic athletes, among others), shooting the cannon, or doing “Pushups” each time Clemson scores.
Two of the fan favorite mascots were the all-time pushup leader (2,216) Mike Bays (’94-’97) who was third in the 1996 UCA National Mascot Championships and Chris Peters (’92-’93) who spent the 1995 football season as the mascot of the Memphis Mad Dogs of the World Football League. The “Eye of the Tiger” will always shine bright for the Clemson mascot due to an endowment set-up by Stuart McWhorter (’88-89) and his father Clayton in 1995.
Here are just a few of the great experiences by the Clemson mascots:
One of McWhorter’s funniest moments was in Columbia in 1989 when he grabbed a tuba from a member of Tiger Band during halftime of the USC game. He ran on the field and created general havoc until being chased away by an offended Carolina band member.
Said Jay Williams, “It was an honor to be the first Tiger Cub.” “It was exciting to create a personality and see the kids faces. The Tiger is more traditional, the fighting Tiger, but I am an innocent, playful childlike mascot that the smaller kids really enjoy. The Cub adds a new dimension and means of interacting with the crowd.”

Reviews for "The Power of Cherry Magic: How the English Version Recaptures the Essence of the Original"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really excited to watch the English version of Cherry Magic, but I was quite disappointed. The voice acting felt bland and lacking emotion, which made it hard to connect with the characters. The translations also seemed to lose some of the nuances and cultural elements that made the original version so charming. Overall, I felt like the English version failed to capture the magic of the original.
2. John - 1 star
I couldn't even finish watching the English version of Cherry Magic. The voice acting was so off-putting and awkward, it felt like a bad dub rather than a proper adaptation. The English script also seemed to lack the natural flow and charm of the original dialogue. It's a shame because I really enjoyed the Japanese version, but this English version was a major letdown.
3. Emily - 2 stars
As a fan of the Japanese version, I was excited to see Cherry Magic in English. However, the translation felt flat and didn't capture the humor and romance that made the original so enjoyable. The voice acting also felt forced and unnatural, making it hard to believe in the characters and their emotions. Overall, I was quite disappointed with this English adaptation and would not recommend it to fans of the original.
4. David - 3 stars
While not terrible, the English version of Cherry Magic was definitely lacking compared to the original. The voice acting was decent, but it felt like the translation was too literal and missed some of the subtleties and cultural references that added depth to the story. The chemistry between the characters also felt somewhat off, which made it hard to fully invest in their relationship. Overall, it was an average adaptation that didn't quite live up to the original's charm.
5. Maria - 2 stars
I found the English version of Cherry Magic to be quite underwhelming. The voice acting felt wooden and didn't convey the emotions of the characters effectively. The script also seemed dumbed down compared to the original, losing some of the witty banter and comedic timing of the original dialogue. If you're a fan of the Japanese version, I would recommend sticking to that and giving the English version a miss.
