Meet our Alumni
Over the years, many of UNI's students have been able to participate in the mascot program during their time at UNI. These individuals have invested much of their time, talent, and effort in making Team TC/TK the best that it could be. Check out some of their favorite memories of Team TC/TK!

Favorite Memory with Team TC/TK
My favorite 2 memories on the team are when we found out we made the Mascot National Championships for the first time as a team in 2007 after not making it in 2006, and then finding out we got a paid bid to the national championships in 2008 for finishing in the top 4 of all the entries.

Favorite Memory with Team TC/TK
My favorite story was creating the "T.C." posse. What started out as a couple of guys assisting me at games grew to a crew of 12 posse members who were "T.C."s right hand. The fans knew them as "T.C.s" posse.
Secondly, making it to nationals for the 1st time for the school and having a ranking of 10th in the nation I will never forget.
Thirdly...developing the famous slide down the UNI dome stairs at the half time of homecoming football games. This was not fun to practice...but the crowd loved it!- Chad Primmer

Favorite Memory with Team TC/TK
Making two free throws (in a row) shooting “granny style/underhanded” during the halftime of a men’s basketball game. I couldn’t even see the hoop!
In general, being able to be an ambassador of good will for the University was something I took a lot of pride in. Many folks don’t recognize the positive impact TC makes in the community and MVC Conference.
After serving the remainder of the year, I asked my brother Matt to assume the duties. He was an incoming freshman at the time and began his “UNI Days” in the fall of 1998.
Matt’s first practice run was at an event held at the Kmart on University. He was brutal! He could hardly walk in the costume and kept running into people and tripping on items located throughout the store. I kept telling him to pick up his knees. Needless to say, Matt was the first person to take TC to the national stage when he qualified as a finalist in the National Mascot of the Year competition. He improved so much from that first run at Kmart!- Don May
