Mascot picking update....

So while doing some research today....not on the dissertation, but mascots.....i discovered out of 65 teams, i only needed to look up about 8 to see what their mascot was....which i have to say I think is pretty good....I mean do you know what Chattanooga's mascot is....and no it isn't named choo-choo, although that is what I think it it should be....no in fact it is Mocs, but the mascot does appear to be train related.....otherwise I would have been sorely disappointed.

I must say, although I new all but 8 without checking, I have to admit I couldn't remember if I had made up that UL-Lafayette was nicknamed the ragin' cajuns or that was their real name...I mean it would go with my byu nickname (stormin' mormons) and the fighting quakers of penn....but it is in fact their name....I wonder why the cajuns have not protested.....hmmmm....i think this is a great question....clearly more work needs to be done on this topic...or am I the only person obsessed with mascots and what I think they reflect about a school....it is probably me......
