It's funny when Vic calls Vic, Vic

One of my old bosses told me a long time ago....if you're going to present a problem, be prepared to propose a solution.

Corey did that and I commend him for it. I also appreciate the passion for the project.

But this didn't have a chance from the get go.....because the University was never going to endorse it. That should have ended the discussion and honestly, after reading the latest part of this thread, this should have ended a year ago when the first letter was sent out.

The only thing this was going to accomplish was building a suit that would never be allowed to appear at an athletic event.

Will we ever get a new mascot? I have no clue. But I do know this. If we do, it will go through the University, not because someone decided what it would be without the school's blessing. This never had a chance from the jump.

How dare you bring logic and common sense to this thread!

UL can say no. They can’t determine where the discussion should end. Never quite seen a university fight so hard NOT to connect with its fanbase. Good stuff.

First and foremost, there was never a letter sent to Cory. But let's continue the lies.

Cory received an email last year from Jennifer Stephens, after he asked repeatedly about the direction that the university was going with regard to the official mascot. The email was in direct response to that, and the official response from Martin Hall was "We are not interested in ANY mascot at this time." ANY MASCOT. Not AL, not Cayenne, NOTHING. (and as of this morning, a reporter in local news got Martin Hall on record saying they are STILL not interested in pursuing ANY MASCOT.)

The issue is not that Cory continued to pursue a dead idea. The issue is that the PUBLIC UNIVERSITY in this city ignored and blackballed one of its own. THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITY did absolutely nothing to facilitate a relationship with a professional using his own money and resources to help with marketing efforts after he was told there was "no money" to incorporate a spirit leader. Cory is not the problem and his efforts should be celebrated rather than demonized.

This entire thing is embarrassing and ____ing ridiculous. What's even more concerning though, are the "adults in the room" willing to continue to throw this man under the bus for being a fan and presenting solutions. And people wonder why we have empty stadiums and hemorrhage money in athletics every year. Martin Hall won't fix the problems but don't YOU DARE even think about trying to fix them yourselves. FOH

I think "demonized" is a bit of a stretch.
