Thread: Your School Mascot(s)?

    Our mascot is the Redskins. Not very animal-like!
    I think our colors are red and black? or red and white? One of those!
    And though I'm not in college, my sister is. And theirs is the Indians.
    Something about this part of Arkansas and Indians seem to go together.

    We were the "Oilers" for High School, so our mascot was an Oil Derek and a guy dressed up like a Roughneck, wearing a hardhat and carrying a wrench.

    My college mascot was the "Cougar". While I was there, we actually had a live cougar, named "Shasta". She was gorgeous. You could see her in her habitat on campus as you walked to certain classes. They later decided that wasn't humane, to be dragging her around to games and having her housed on campus, so they switched to a guy dressed up as a cartoonish Cougar, but he's still known as "Shasta". Which is kewl cuz her memory still lives on. Go Coogs! Eat'em up! Eat'em Up! Rah! Rah! Rah!

    The mascots down here are always real personalized. Every Longhorn at UT is named Bevo. The Rice Owls are all Sammies. The Collies from Texas A&M are all Reveilles. I've always loved the story of Reveille, even though I'd never consider being an Aggie, even with such a great mascot as a Collie.

    The Aggie band smuggled a small malnourished Black and White dog into their dorm, that they found on a Corps trip. The next morning she was found, because she barked to the morning reveille, hence the name.

    The current mascot, Reveille VII, is a Collie, just as Reveille II-VI were. Reveille I-VI are currently buried in front of Kyle Field, facing the scoreboard (so they can watch their Texas Aggie football team outscore the opponents).

    My highschool was "the Clippers" which is some kind of ship/boat.

    I attended the University of Northern Iowa which was the Panthers, and the University of Iowa, which is the Hawkeyes- both animals (although Herky the hawk is kind a human/animal hybrid. The mascot walks around sometimes around campus and gives people crap. When we were students he threw away Eric's gym shoes!)
