[QUOTE="SenBukowski, post: 1455907, member: 574550"] Thats a good point but the Alma Mater is perhaps one of the biggest traditions/symbols the University has. I think tying it there with the name/pun solves the problem of reconciling a mascot with tradition. Distracting people from the game in front of them does to me sound exactly like the point of a Mascot. We've had 14 years of no symbol/mascot which have really been 14 years of de facto chief limbo, which has left neither side happy. On the precipice of what look to be two big seasons, winning games with the introduction of the Alma Otter just might be the best mix for us as a community to move forward. [/QUOTE]
