Vanderbilt Mr. Commodore

Mr. C is in the house! Even the lil' ones know that Vandy's mascot is a cut above the rest. Anchor Down! Cornelius Vanderbilt, whose nickname was the Commodore, earned his stripes in the shipping biz. It's no wonder the teams go by the same name! Ever since 1873, Mr. C has been inspiring students and athletes to unbeatable feats. Being a 2003 NCA Mascot National Champ is only the start of this master of all trades' resume.
