“The school said Monday it had narrowed its list of 400 suggestions to five choices: the Susquehanna Bobcats, Explorers, Phoenix, River Hawks and River Otters.” Oh, come on, folks. Those choices show a real failure of imagination. How about something that shows some continuity with the discarded nickname — a nod to Susquehanna University’s proud heritage, and something that shows the real transition that is being made? How about the Susquehanna Dhimmis? Or maybe the Susquehanna Milk al-Yamin?
First the “Edit” function, now the “Reply” button.
IOTWR is disappearing, one piece at a time.
🙁
I wonder if the school did any research in order to verify if a Bobcat had ever attacked a black person?
Why not name the team the Beheading Islamists?
I’d hope for the Susquehanna Schlubs.
How about the Susquehanna Shit Stains? Their symbol could be a brown stain in a pair of underwear. It could also double as their official flag. Look Ma a threefer!
Yeah, who wants a mascot that is a symbol for procrastination.
They did procrastinate a few hundred years before they took the fight to the home countries of the Mohammedans who had been raping and beheading them in their home towns for generations.
They were darn slow to rise up and drive the murderers out of Europe by attacking them in their own home countries. The current generation appears doomed to repeat the mistake.
Is it ignorance, arrogance, or has God blinded us to our peril? The problem of the “Decline of the West” and its imminent suicide is perplexing, inasmuch as all the evidence is obvious.
How about the Susquehanna Pussies or Pansies? Bobcats won’t do because they are mean nasty critters and Explorers is a no go either since there is nothing these fools would find worth exploring since that might be oppressive to any native tribes they might meet while out exploring. The Nothings would make a good name since nothing is inoffensive except to those who believe in something like words mean things. The Weenies might also work. Or The Perpetually Offended Know Nothings.
Well, it wouldn’t be US, you know, to name a team after a group of men that saved their people from murdering, bloodthirsty savages. Just call them the Dhimmis or the Decapitated.
“Slowly I turned
step by step …”
Man, those guys were really the most sofficated comedy team of all time … oh, wait … this is a school … forgit it …
Personally, I’m leaning toward the Susquehanna Schlongs,
but it’s hard… hard to decide, I mean. 🙂
And besides Explorers trample on ma gaia and that’s not allowed since ma gaia is considered to be sacred by these tree hugging, bunny kissing, dope smoking, earth worshipping fools. Actually the name The Unbelievers fits them to a tee.
Susquehanna Slugs
Actually, there’s precedent for The Slugs. Univ. of California Santa Cruz teams are The Banana Slugs. I am not making this up.
How is inclusive to exclude the Crusaders?
Susquehanna Bendovers.
The Ahhhs! As in bend over and say Ahhhh!
The CAIR bears.
The Headless Horseman is an old historic name.
The state insect is the Firefly. The Headless Fireflies.
The state fish is the Brook Trout.. The Headless Trout.
The Headless Ruffed Grouse. The Headless Great Danes could also be in play.
Anything Headless is pretty scary.
Never mind…
😛
Just north of Hershey PA, how about “fudgepackers”?
