Temple University Mascots
Hooter and T-Bird are two of the most visible characters at the university, and they truly are characters! T-Bird is Hooter's cousin from Owlbuquerque, and he is a rogue! Both of them represent the university at various athletic, academic and social functions on campus, around the Philadelphia area and during away trips. Always in high demand, Hooter and T-Bird have no lives other than being themselves and top notch students.
You can find out more information about Hooter in the General Info section under Traditions.
