I don't even know what to say to that thing....Wow. However, I am not sure that is worse than what MU did in 1984, while I was a student there. We used to have Willie Wampum as our mascot. Full Indian gear and a hatchet and all of that. WW was tossed prior to my arrival and we had an Indian student do traditional Indian dance for a few years. <sarcasm>That really fired up the crowd, </sarcasm> but the administration was trying to separate itself from the whole WW days. Anyway, after realizing how traditional Indian dancing, although very cool in the right setting, just was not working at a sporting event, they brought in this travesty to be our mascot for a few years. They were indeed the dark ages of MU basketball. wiki.muscoop.com

In Arizona, a local community college acquired an unusual name many years ago. As the story goes, one group of supporters wanted competitive athletics. A second group wanted no athletics, instead concentrating strictly on academics. Those folks supporting athletics "won" that debate as Scottsdale Community College has athletic programs. However, winning that argument came at a cost. The academics people got to name the team(s). The chosen name was Artichokes. To this day, as far as I know, Scottsdale Community College is known as the Artichokes.... EK!!!
