Shasta Too UH mascot "pushed up" spirit J, he team had just scored another touchdown and all eyes were on a furry figure lying face down on the side lines. The crowd roared, the band played and Shasta finally staggered to his feet. "Come on guys, cut it out," he screamed to the football team. Jason Lee, a 21-year-old junior advertising major born in San Antonio, was the man behind the mask of the Cougar mascot. He tallied over 4,000 push-ups during the 1989 football season, one for every point scored. His daily workout routine consisted of eating almost anything, playing intramural sports with his fraternity brothers and exercising whenever time allowed. At football games, he played with young Cougar fans, stretched with the Cougar Dolls and even challenged opposing team mascots to a round of boxing. At basketball games, he dropped his shorts, made faces at referees and signed autographs. Jason's fondest memories of his time as mascot were the SMU and Rice football games. The SMU game brought him nationwide recognition and the Rice game brought the season to a close. -Melissa Forcade fter UH defeats Texas, Jason takes a break from his -push-up frenzy.Houstonian Photo. |n his way to 645 push-ups, Jason is caught red-faced 'and breathless.
