JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) -- Now that Arkansas State University Chancellor Robert Potts has accepted a recommendation to change the school's Indian nickname, the school is preparing to pick a new mascot.
Potts announced yesterday that ASU would shed its Indian name and mascot. The NCAA has a ban on ethnically or racially hostile or abusive nicknames, mascots and imagery at championship events. Arkansas State was one of the schools found in violation of the policy.

I vote for the Arkansas State Cousinkissers, or Cousinf*ckers.

So I take it ‘Fighting Hillbillies’ is out of the question?
Hmm, then I have to say ASU-Flower Petals. Go Fightin’ Petals!

The “Sucking Lewinskys"; in honor of Arkansas’ favorite son of a bitch. Or the “Perjuring Bastards”. The epithet bastard is probably appropriate considering his paternity.

How about something a little counter-intuitive, such as the name of the group of (very) amateur boxers—writers mostly—who used to work out with Norman Mailer at the old Gramercy Gym in New York? They called themselves the Raging Jews.
It's true that there are probably more Indians than Jews at ASU. And that reminds me. That means ASU has more right to the name "Indian" than Ward Churchill does. . .
