[QUOTE="ivwilsoniv, post: 1456097, member: 8005"] But eagles live in Illinois, so they're qualified as a possible option! All seriousness, the more I think about all of this, the more this seems unnecessary and pointless. What's the purpose of the otter? What's the purpose of any "mascot" really? Do we need someone in a costume dancing around on the sidelines to excite fans? No - Illinois basketball and football just need to start winning again. I think the "ghost" of the Chief is cooler than any otter (or other) mascot. I've actually taken some pride in the fact that Illinois doesn't have a costumed character running around, and while I get the comedic aspect of the Otter proposal and appreciate the pun, the whole idea of a mascot is vastly overrated.
