Get out of the swamp: UT will not change its mascot to Shrek

The university put out a tweet saying if it got 500,000 retweets, the school would change its mascot to Shrek.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - The University of Toledo turned heads on Twitter Tuesday in a jest that went viral.

The university put out a tweet saying if it got 500,000 retweets, the school would change its mascot to Shrek.

The school's current mascot is Rocky the Rocket.

The school later deleted the tweet, saying a change in mascot wouldn't be fair to Rocky.

The school said the tweet was just UT's social media team having fun in order to create a community with their followers and draw attention to the university.

We guess Shrek is just going to stay in his beloved swamp after all.
