This is actually a pretty funny backstory for Stripes, especially the facts at the bottom

Na the #13 is only there because he's around for the 2013-2014 season.... although I'm sure most people here would want Buycks as a mascot so Stone gets more playing time

II read on Facebook someone said its dwight Buycks lmfao! cause of the #13

I was going to guess Alvin Williams

Honestly though, even on crutches, the original mascot has more bounce to his step than the new guy. Tough shoes to fill indeed.
