swilson160 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Has to be the Jackalopes. The mascot should be the little guy from "America's Funniest People". Or Dave Coulier (whose coolness level increases tenfold when you learn that he is the guy Alanis Morrisette is singing about in "You Oughta Know").

powersurge Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 What about the "Toros"? Has a little bit of the Spanish word/big strong bull reference.Did that even make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Dave Coulier (whose coolness level increases tenfold when you learn that he is the guy Alanis Morrisette is singing about in "You Oughta Know").Definitely Jackalopes. Killer Jackalopes was the name of my intramural hockey team at BYU that won the championship my senior year. Someone had a stuffed jackalope they found at a pawn shop and brought it to all the games as our mascot. Then there were the freshmen on the team who called the team the "J-Los" for short. Good times--have the Champs T-shirt retired up in my rafters around here somewhere. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL Watt Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 What about the "Toros"? Has a little bit of the Spanish word/big strong bull reference.Did that even make sense? Toros would be an awesome choice!!! Being from Tucson, our AAA baseball team was known as the Toros before going with the Sidewinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 go with Octopi...so everybody else scratches their heads and goes WTF?? haha. I like this idea as well! I would rather have my school have a more unique nickname. So I would scratch Coyotes out, maybe even Road Runners and Jackrabbits.What's a Zozobra? Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballfiji Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 According to this website:Zozobra is a hideous but harmless fifty-foot bogeyman marionette. He is a toothless, empty-headed facade. He has no guts and doesn't have a leg to stand on. He is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. He never wins. He moans and groans, rolls his eyes and twists his head. His mouth gapes and chomps. His arms flail about in frustration. Every year we do him in. We string him up and burn him down in ablaze of fireworks. At last, he is gone, taking with him all our troubles for another whole year. Santa Fe celebrates another victory. Viva la Fiesta!

winghaz Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I once almost had my brother-in-law from California convinced that jackalopes really exist. Then my sister butted in and told her hubby not to listen to my B.S.Just for that bit of family history, I also have to vote for Jackalopes.

footballfiji Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 So will they be large gophers or small prairie dogs...or maybe small prairie dogs or large gophers?

hrivnak Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I heard there was a pretty good movie out there about a killer jackalope. It was called "Return of the Jackalope" or something like that.Anyway. They should be called Jackalopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
