Not as scary as the real thing. Marshal Frank "Pistol Pete" Eaton was a force to be reckoned with.

The story of how he became our mascot here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_Pete_(mascot)
During my time at OSU, a member of my fraternity (John Elway's fraternity as well) was always a Pistol Pete. It was a common sight to walk into someone's room and see that big head sitting there. I've tried it on -- it's pretty heavy.
Never shot the guns, though . . .
