Changes to homecoming format

[appbio91]

I should be the Mighty Mountaineer. Freshman in 2001. Joined the military after 9/11. Served honorably. Combat disabled from my 4th deployment. Back at App Fall 2013. Graduating in December. How do I enter?

Wow thank you for your service. I am glad you are in the App family. And congrats on graduation!

Yea, you should be nominated. You are top of the Rock material if what you say is true.

I guess it's only a matter of time before someone finds Yosef offensive because a male mascot is supposed to represent an entire student population.

Some of you thought the Gorton's Fisherman logo was bad...just wait until it's gender neutral humanoid figure with a buzz cut and shaved face.

The university would never allow that to happen. The decisions of homecoming are made by the students. Pointless competition IMO.

It's more likely that we'd see Yosef and Yosefina ... kinda like NCSU's wolf mascots or Clemson's tigers. If Yosefina gets to fire the rifle, sign me up! I'm a really good shot!

BTW - one thing I picked up on the UT board was their use of an "off" color as the sarcasm font. In their case, it's blue. With our love of Furman and WCU, I figured our sarcasm font should be purple.

I like the purple sarcasm font idea! Excellent idea!
I think some folks need to figure out that sarcastic comments do not require corrective statements. Maybe this would help.

It was tried at Auburn in 1999. The new mascot basically got booed off the field. We see a pic of him from time to time. He kind of looks like the Shoneys Big Boy with App flannel.

I'm the dude that was awarded a truck from Wells Fargo and Discovery Chevrolet at last year's Arkansass State game. I actually would hate the attention of the homecoming whatever, was just trying to make a point. I think we all know it won't be me.

This made me think of the show Community. For those that never saw it, the community college's mascot was a human being.
