ASU's new mascot

[Rebel02]

So what's ASU's new mascot gonna be? We all know that NO Indian tribe will step forward and say that they are okay with ASU being called the Indians, so anyone got some good ideas for the new mascot at Arkansas's other university?

I was thinking:

Little Razorbacks
Razorback wannabes
Pigs
Inbreds

Actually, we're considering making another Arkansas State University and putting it in the southwest corner of the state, then we can fight with them over the name. It'll be really strange and we'll have to convince everyone to not call us ASU-Jonesboro, but it'll be cool. We can be the Indians and they can be the Ragin Retards. I don't think anyone has tried anything like it before, but we'll see.

Then again, we could drop a school right in Fayettenam's backyard and call it Two-Lane. That's still just a concept tho.

No, none of those would work. Everyone already associates those names with the school in Faggotville.

Arkansas State has asked the questions. Now, it’s awaiting the answers. The university was one of 18 schools whose use of an American Indian mascot has been deemed hostile or abusive by the NCAA. But before submitting an appeal, as other schools have done, Athletic Director Dean Lee said Arkansas State is trying to figure out the NCAA’s thinking regarding its use of Indians as a mascot. Arkansas State has submitted a series of questions to the NCAA in an effort to find out specifically what ways their portrayal of American Indians are considered offensive. When those questions are answered, Lee said, the university may then proceed with an appeal. Lee said he hoped to get the answers in a vid-teleconference with the NCAA on Nov. 28. “According to how they respond to those questions will depend on what our next move is,” Lee said. “I will say that we have been encouraged to file an appeal. Whether we do or not will depend on the conversations we have with the NCAA.” The rest of the story BY TODD TRAUB

Monroe has bayous?

Bayou Desiard....I believe...

Its where the world famous ulm@little rock water skiing team practices....

The blew it when they decided not to go with Aviators....

With the history of Delta Airlines, etc in Monroe, that would have been cool and UNIQUE.....

Might be able to leverage "Pilots" into some donations as well.

They have gators in Monroe (other than the Cajuns when they play there)?
