Listen, we all moaned about how stupid a squirrel was for a mascot, and now look at us: we freaking love the guy. Those Squirrels, THEY CAN DO NO WRONG.
So meet Zinger! Nutzy’s adorable nuttastic sidekick!

At least he’s called Zinger and not Corny! (I voted for Zinger, actually, multiple times, because it sounds so good with Nutzy.) He’s kind of creepy with his giant eyes, but I think Nutzy was the best thing to happen in RVA last year so I’m pretty excited for additional mascot wackiness.
Zinger is probably the best name of the bunch we were presented with. It’s actually a fun name. The mascot’s really ugly, though.
Crap. My daughter’s going to want to go to every game now.
