APRIL FOOLS!- Tommy Tiger Cheats on Herky the Hornet!

Once beloved Pacific mascot Tommy Tiger reportedly cheats on Herky the Hornet. On Thursday Night, Tommy and UC Santa Cruz’s Sammy the Slug were seen at the River Room enjoying a dinner next to the Calaveras River where they then shared a kiss. Witnesses say that Tommy became very angry and covered his face as they walked out.

“I can’t believe love isn’t real, I really thought they were meant for each other,” says Scotty Highlander of UC Riverside, “It makes me really think that you don’t know someone after all”. 

Tiger and Hornet first went public in 2018 with an Instagram post of them in Hawaii posing for a picture after speculation was spreading on social media. The caption read, “Lovers in Hawaii!” and they continued to show up to events with one another such as Pacific’s Orange & Black Ball as well as Sacramento State’s basketball games. Many were rooting for them and even sharing fanpages of their romance.

Gunrock the Mustang of UC Davis was a big supporter of their love as the founder of the Instagram page @Tomky4ever. “I fell in love with their love story. Meeting at a basketball game and swooping each other off of their feet from the beginning was so adorable. It made me feel like I could have that someday,” says Mustang. He feels betrayed by this news and has already taken down @Tomky4ever with no intention of speaking to Tiger again.

Tiger, Hornet, and Slug refused to comment.
