An Ode to a Retired Unofficial Mascot

Hear ye! Hear ye! Harken unto my writing!
This week a great tragedy has befallen us!
For Vili the Warrior has exiled himself from the college world.

Why has this great Warrior left the stands?
Why has the noble Vili hung up his grass skirt?
Alas, the scribe noted officially that he left to support his kin.

Vili's history, though not inscribed in the sands of time,
Started with the hiring of June Jones in 1999.
His intensity struck fear into the hearts of opponents,
while to his friends, the element of ohana was always present.

Beating the drum and screaming at mascots,
always gave the Tongan an intense impression.
Suing EA Sports for using his likeness without permission,
showed that the entertainer had steely balls.

We will miss the haka!
We will miss the drum pounding vigilante of the stands.
We will most certainly hope that the Warriors,
get an official mascot as badass as Vili.
