Thoughts:
- I would have no problem with a return to the Oliver Twist-esque ballboy, though I could do without the drab Cleveland Browns color scheme.
- We seriously had a dog mascot named "Dammit"? Like, this was a thing?
- Wampo was Gumby's horse buddy, no?
- Cal the alligator/bottle opener makes almost as little sense for W&M as a pantsless griffin, so good to know the school has backed asinine mascot choices for over a century.
- Wampo II: Electric Horsealoo
- We know make it to the Dan Snyder-sponsored portion of our program. I would think the headdress might slow down a running back, but what do I know. Also, the school should demand royalties from cult classic The Warriors as they obviously stole the name and baseball bat concept from our mascot. Come out to play, indeed.
- Oh, hey, Wami. [No one share this infographic with Mike Wise, please.]
- Amazingly, Col. Ebirt is not the worst mascot in this picture.
- And of course, the coup de grâce, our current mascot, a legendary Greek creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle's talons as its front feet. AND NO PANTS. Makes total sense.

ReplyDeletemaybe he should be our mascot
ReplyDeletePour one out for Louis Zamperini. Unbroken is a must read for anybody who wants to understand what a WWII POW endured. His 97 years on the planet were an amazing tale.
ReplyDeleteTeej, why does the griffin need pants? You wouldn't expect to see pants on either an eagle or a lion. And they don't make the mascots anatomically correct. Unforunately. That would be outstanding.
ReplyDeleteI demand Dockers on this thing.
ReplyDeleteIs the mascot a female griffin?

ReplyDeleteGoofy wears pants and drives a car. Pluto's a dog.
ReplyDeleteDammit the Dog is fantastic. best dog name since Navin R Johnson named his pooch.

ReplyDeleteDammit was Bill Cosby's brother. Along with Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteJust poured 4 minis of woodford reserve in a nalgene with a ginger ale. Right there next to the ticket counter. Wouldn't have been time to stop. I'll never pay airport prices again! Or fly sober.
