THE INFLATABLE “COOP” HEAD Based on Coop, SVSU’s mascot, this cardinal head-shaped inflatable is a popular feature at sporting and prospective student events. At football and basketball games, student-athletes enter the playing field by running through Coop’s open beak, which doubles as a 10-foot-long tunnel.
