Back in the 50's we had an indian mascot who used to be at all the football games here. He was pretty good!

And what about cattle whose horns are short???
"Sooners" are offensive to us procrastinators.
And just what the hell is a "Ute"?

Up to the early 70s, it was the eastern Eastern Washington State University "Savages". Mascot was an Indian with a scalp. Even the Native Americans on campus, and there were a lot of them, were against changing the mascot to 'Eagles'.
To: Leroy S. Mort
The Ohio State Buckeyes will certainly be barred by this standard. Because..whomever came up with this ruling is most assuredly a
nut and will be offended by our mascot.

I have no idea....they are green. I've never seen an actual mascot, just VERY large cheerleaders, and a future NBA player that dismantled my school's team like they were a bunch of little toddlers with a nasty case of diaper rash.

I'd like to see FSU and the Seminoles join together to buck the NCAA with a lawsuit.

Once again, where is the tolerance so celebrated by the left under other circumstances? Where is the enchantment with freedom of speech and expression? I guess a team called the "Dung-encrusted Marys" would be ok or the "Piss-submerged Crucifixes" would be welcome...
This gets so tiring....

So what are Florida State and Illinois supposed to call themselves during the post-season, The FSU Sem and the Illinois Fighting? The Chickens and the PCs?

Actually (appropriate enough) Sooners were criminals, if I remember correctly. They were the people who illegally jumped the gun, so to speak, at the Oklahoma land rush.

Yours is a very good post and perspective. I am of Irish decent and have always taken pride in the University of Notre Dame being called the Fighting Irish. I don't understand the problem. Team nicknames are a celebration of historical figures and heritage.

I'm glad someone posted about this. Bob Knight is actually testifying on behalf of the NIT. I hope they stick it to the NCAA.

My High School recently changed from the Fighting Redskins to the Red Hawks.
Blah.....
