UL Monroe goes with Warhawks as new mascot

NTEagle08 · April 11, 2006

Hadn't noticed this yet, but saw it on the Sun Belt board over of Tribalgrounds. Have to say that I like the new mascot, and is alot more original than Indians.

According to the NCAA: (assuming this is adopted by Monroe)

Warhawk (a war machine) > Indian

Whatever...

I was really pulling for the ULM Islamic Jihad.

I emailed them the idea of 'Guzzlin' Cajuns', but apparently it did not make the cut.

Good mascot.

Sounds good... more original than Indians.

They can call themselves what they want. It doesn't matter. I will forever refer to them as the Golden Gobblers.

They didn't choose any of my ideas.

Short-sighted bastards.

Any mascot name including the word "war" is great, IMO.

I like it!!

Hmmmmm, so they didn't like my "fight'n Nutrias" idea.....Oh well.

Good second choice on their part.

In light of the fact that we had to fight to get "Scrappy" back, can you imagine what the reaction would have been if someone had suggested any sort of mascot name here at North Texas that had "war" in it?

Just wait PETA will be knocking on UL Monroe's door soon enough, making an innocent poor old hawk into a waring creature.

Oh my, where is the Humanity of it all!

I'm sure they will complain that it is depicted as "walking upright" and the other outrage, "wearing human clothing".

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!
