Video: Jumbo Spirit: Scary Campus Phenomonon? Or Scariest Campus Phenomenon?

Jumbo spirit -- Tufts' greatest asset or its darkest secret? Some Tufts students ventured forth to discover the truth behind the mystery that most on campus are denying. The result? Comedic gold.

Be sure to watch through until the end, as the "interview" with Bacow is by far the best part of the video.

Video: Jumbo: Krumping Or Covered In Tiny Invisible Scarab Beetles?

Being a Division III mascot ain't easy. It's a stressful position and what better way to relieve stress than by krumping? Krumping is a "form of street dance characterized by free, expressive, and highly energetic moves." Oh really? It also looks like our anthropomorphic protagoni... MORE »

Jumbo Goes On Bangkok Rampage [...Insert Joke Here]

Jumbo Goes On Bangkok Rampage [...Insert Joke Here]
This is why, contrary to popular belief, our mascot actually ****ing rules. In Bangkok, elephants roam the streets, causing damage and disorder (hey, we already learned that they break into booze over in India...) and have caused the government to set up a "Stray Elephant Task Force" -- the new name for TUPD, anyone?

Tufts' Hawk Returns!

Our unofficial mascot is back! After a long hiatus, we've finally spotted the majestic Tufts' Hawk once again. This large Red-Tailed hawk (?) has been patrolling campus for at least a year now.

Tufts Is Having More Sex Than You Thought

Tufts Is Having More Sex Than You Thought
Today's Daily article about how Tufts failed to even be considered for Trojan's sexual health ranking may seem incredibly depressing at first glance -- apparently our sex lives suck so much that Trojan didn't have a single space on a list of 139 colleges for Jumbos' jumbos.
