Personally I’d love to be a player for the Olathe Norths. Go North!

Hot take. Mascots are rough ridin' dumb.

If your from Topeka directional high school, your basketball team should be Topeka Directional. 

Forcing some symbol into the mix is dumb. Just go rough ridin' lose to (insert private school who cheats by being able to recruit and stuff) without calling yourselves the turtles or bears or wranglers or whatever.

I kinda like Lions, Tigers, Bulldogs. Trojans and Eagles seem to be over-represented.

Why not just name the three remaining schools in the country that aren't already called the Wildcats the Wildcats?

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

My daughter's school has a different mascot for every sport at the school and it absolutely rules. Just fun chaos

Yeah, who rough ridin' cares. The least important news of the night.

If he wins the general, I'm afraid you're going to rue this day. Attorneys General, especially ones who are activist and politically driven have a eff ton of power. Weirdly enough Schmidt winning would probably be better for somewhat controlling Kkkobach and how he'd behave as an AG.
Well, crap. Hope you're not right.  :sdeek:

What if you want a shirt to support the entire school?  Brooklyn Zoo?

Probably just the school name with the crest on it?

Spoken like someone who went to a school with a generic as hell mascot. I wore a Garden City High Buffaloes shirt to tennis on Wednesday night and another player asked me about it.

Also Liberal, still out here in 2022-23 flaunting being the Redskins and their mascot and sports teams are secondarily named "Angry Red."

I had 9-game football seasons where we played 3 Indians and 2 Wildcats. Over half were Indians or Wildcats!

i think all mascots should be animals. when i was in highschool my neighbor (went to the same high school as me) told me that he would tease my dad (went to rival high school - Wichita SE Buffaloes) by chanting during games "WHAT DO WE EAT? BUFFALO MEAT!"

and full disclosure i never attempted to get that chant going nor did i ever hear anyone do it, but i can imagine how that was probably quite the gas in the 70s and probably got a lot of laughs and high fives.

get wrecked buffs, lmao

Then there's McPherson - Bullpups - simply because Mac College was using Bulldogs.  Not that there was any intrinsic link between the two.

This is a very accurate assessment of my general psyche.  I'm very tradition oriented.

I personally don't get the need for a spirit animal.  Who started that anyway? 

Let's build a stadium, hire a guy who knows how to teach the sport, buy a crap ton of uniforms and stuff, encourage the kids to play, pay for refs, organize a conference of other schools and convince them all of a common set of rules and such, then play some games?

Cool, but what kind of animal are we?

English Premier league teams aren’t referred to by their mascots. They have them, but they are more just the “Willie the wildcat” walking around saying hi to kids.

Most of them have nicknames they are referred to by.
