The School NC State Basketball Players Tuffy Mr.Wolf Tuffy is NC State's live mascot. Tuffy is a Tamaskan Dog. This breed of dog originates from Finland. This breed is known for agility, obedience, and working trials. It is known for pulling sleds. Tamaskans were bred to look like wolves, though they have no recent wolf history. The "Wolfpack" was first mentioned in 1921, when an anonymous letter, written to the school newspaper said that some of the school's football players were as "unruly as a pack of wolves." The name 'Wolfpack' had negative connotations during world war II. NC State had a contest to pick a new mascot. There were more letters in support of retaining the wolfpack. Since 1983 Mr.Wolf has been called Mr.Wuf. Mr.Wolf and Mrs.Wolf are currently mascot of all NC State athletics.
