DMN:

Under the threat of NCAA sanctions, ULM president James Cofer has accepted the Mascot Committee's recommendation to retire it's 75-year-old mascot and choose a new one by June 1.

I suggest the "Mean Maroon". biggrin.gif

You people are always looking at the glass half empty. Try and look on the bright side and remember that you will never have to hear that stupid stupid stupid annoying war chant again.

And now we won't have two schools in the same conference with the same mascot. That was kind of embarrasing. rolleyes.gif

Technically speaking, in addition to having two Indians we also had two Aggies (NM St, and Utah St) at the same time during Utah St's very, very brief stay two years ago.

I REALLY dare ULM to play FSU and try that chant. I dare them. I dare them to go into that lion's den and try that bootleg Seminole-chop crap on the Seminoles themselves. Way to be original, ULM.

I don't think they should change mascots, though. That's political BS.

I don't like Northeast, but I wouldn't wish this on them. But let's look forward. It's time to break Virginia Tech's monopoly on the turkey theme. I don't know why they refer to turkeys as 'hokies' in Blacksburg, but I do know they like to fry turkeys in Monroe. So I'm gonna go with the 'Golden Gobblers' on this one, and they can keep the current colors to boot.

I think that San Francisco needs a team mascot "U. San Fran Wok-Hats".

Actually, "Samurai" would be a killer mascot/team name now I think of it. But it's Asian, so never mind that. Heaven forbid that we adopt a mascot name of a group we find admirable qualities in. I'm waiting for PETA to wig out about animal names for teams. I'm sure we'll hear something like, "We don't believe that the lions appreciate being cheapened by a pro football team."

You know, because lions actually care.

Since Monroe, Louisiana was probably named for James Monroe (the sixth president), why not go with the Fightin Jimmys or the Presidents or Dueling Doctrines?

Actually, Troy and UALR share the mascot of "Trojans", so if the Indian names would have stayed the same and both of the Aggies would still be in the Belt, you'd have 6 teams with only three different mascots.

In the SEC, Georgia and Miss State are both Bulldogs and LSU and Auburn are both Tigers. It happens.

If you only have a year left to live, go to Monroe, LA because every day there is like an eternity.

And then plaster our stereotypical and savage-like logos on everything? Not to mention sing dumbed-down made up versions of a ritualistic battle cry? Yeah, this is all just a PC thing... rolleyes.gif

Its ridiculous. Many of us think the same way as you MGD, but be careful, to some, it demonstrates your socio-political ignorance.

All of this just after the Indians changed their name to Native Americans.

I know this thread is about the Indians mascot, but what about the Trojans? That name is after a group of fierce, fighting people. Is that allowed because we don't have Trojans here in America?

Good point. Maybe it could be the ULM Islamic Jihad. laugh.gif

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      We are starting to cut into the deficit created by the first game compared to last year. Now only down 8.72% in terms of average attendance. Last night was the highest game 4 attendance of the last four years, but to be honest, I was a little disappointed it was only 3,292 for a "name" opponent (yes, even during Thanksgiving week). November 25 was our earliest game 4, but a much stronger opponent. The previous 3 years it was 12/4 (LSU Shreveport), 12/3 (Omaha) and 12/2 (Miss Valley State) respectively. I mentioned this during the in-game thread, but the ESPN+ broadcast sounds like the commentators are off site in a soundproof room or something. Not hearing the crowd noise and the excitement in the arena really detracts from the game experience. Need a better audio production. I switched to the radio stream and it was much better from that perspective.

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      Oh I agree with the philosophy in general, just not how it's being executed currently. baring quick foul trouble or a dumb mistake, I'd prefer to not make any changes until at least the first 4 min timeout. let your starters find some kind of rhythm in the game. I've noted numerous times already this season of a player knocking down a shot or two and/or making a few key plays and then getting sat...Jossell in the McNeese loss leaps to mind, I know its happened to Dello a few times as well. I'm gonna assume Hodge's rationale is that at least the first few subs are scripted and he's asking so much of his team on the defensive end that he wants to keep a sharper rotation, but it feels a little extreme to me right now and not always in tune with the flow of the game/a player's night we're not quite approach Benford-esque line-changes (though maybe only b/c Hodge doesn't have ten players he trusts), but it's bugging me just as much

      Interesting difference between Ross and Eric Morris: Ross’ best player struggles all game, Ross designs a play for him to redeem himself at the buzzer, we win. Morris’ best player, DT Sheffield, struggles all game vs. East Carolina, Morris sits him first three plays of final drive (what?!) then puts him in on 4th down and he is no factor: we lose.
