Tulane Green Wave's mascot Riptide returns following the disappearance of part of its costume. This season, Riptide will be more integrated into the football experience, potentially performing routines with the cheerleading team.
On Sunday a group of spirited students convened in the Devlin Fieldhouse to strut their stuff and show their ability to work the new Riptide costume. These people ranged in qualifications from having a resume of mascot attires to being Riptide for two years.
The tryouts consisted of each person going in front of the selection committee individually and answering questions relating to management, availability and commitment.
