Sam the Minuteman

Sam the Minuteman

Sam the Minuteman is the mascot of the University of Massachusetts Amherst athletics teams. Sam can be found at any event in which the Minutemen or Minutewomen are participants. He has also been seen around the University of Massachusetts Amherst without the athletics teams, and [http://umassathletics.cstv.com/genrel/121505aac.html pitching in at charity events] .

Sam placed second in the 2005 Capital One Mascot Of The Year competition, behind to Nebraska's Herbie the Husker. Sam has also finished in the top ten at the National Cheerleading Association's Mascot Nationals for the last four years. He was also named the Mascot of the Month by Playboy.com in October 2005.

Sam was featured in a "This is SportsCenter" commercial, knocking a tennis ball away from Andy Roddick, presumably from frustration over the sound of the ball hitting the racket.
