[QUOTE="bluemountain, post: 1932563, member: 620047"] In the grand spectrum of symbols or mascots, the Chief is still in the top rung with the USC Trojan, Chief Osceola and Sparty. A doughboy would be great in that it would be pretty unique and has a direct tie in to the Fighting Illini. A kingfisher would be as generic as bucky the badger or the Northwestern wildcat - nothing great, but at least innocuous. Probably the best thing that can be said about it is that it isn't as ridiculous as a tree or an orange. In other words, I guess it could be worse. [/QUOTE]
