When Kent State's Golden Flashes football team played Bowling Green's Falcons in October at Dix Stadium, they brought a secret weapon: an orange cat named Hyperion - "Hype" for short. "Hype" was Kent State's representative in a cat-to-cat match up with "Pudge," another orange cat that has received a lot of attention on the web as Bowling Green's athletic mascot and feline good luck charm. However, Hype's mojo won the day as Kent State beat Bowling Green 24-21.
After the winter storm in January, Hype's human companion, Mahli Mechenbier J.D., a senior lecturer at Kent State University at Geauga's Twinsburg Academic Center used the abundant snow to create a frosty tribute to her beloved cat.
