_ Pretty cute.

But I have a bone to pick. You're Troy University, in the town of Troy, and you're the Trojans.

The Trojans were part of Homer's Greek epics.

But Troy wasn't actually Greek, it was a 13thC BCE bronze age culture. We don't know much about them, so let's just start with the fact that it's a Greek tradition.

A bronze age Greek helmet would have looked like this:

Yes, some of them had plumes:

Of course as you can see, a lot of the time the soldiers also went nekkid.

I wouldn't recommend that.

But why the HECK do you guys show a ROMAN soldier, from a completely different culture, that existed over a 1,000 years after Troy, and 800 years after the time of Homer???

I know, I know. It seems pretty picky.

But you are a university... aren't you?

This is the sort of things that educated people should know about. _

What you say is true, but we have no room to talk. Afterall, we are represented by a giant red Dildeaux! What is Cajun about that?

_ i'd pay quite a bit for a stuff the trojans shirt.....THAT would be a classic _

Should I start an official "STUFF THE TROJANS" thread?

Maybe they're just copying USC (the one in California)! Seems like the west coast Trojans have a similar looking mascot (see Tommy Trojan).

OK, Des, you consider yourself a scholar.
