The Missouri Valley Conference Mascot Madness belt will stay in Springfield after a crazy day at the Twitter and Facebook polls.
Boomer defeated Illinois State’s Reggie Redbird after two Twitter tie-breaker votes in the championship round of the Mascot Madness tournament.

Boomer and Reggie entered the first tie-breaker Twitter vote after the two remained deadlocked at 50 percent after a Facebook vote that lasted from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The tie-breaker came down to a one-hour Twitter vote to determine which mascot is best… or at least that’s what the plan was.
