Gus is no match for a lion.
Meet Gus the Tiger 🐯👋 This year's mascot race representative for @UofGSport is hoping to rise to the challenge just like Rocky Balboa 🥊 We all need to see a victory parade to Eye of the Tiger if Gus wins at #BUCSNationals

I've been training for the mascot race and people are wearing masks but not like mine. Can someone explain what's happened since February 2020? 👀 @BUCSsport
