Exactly.. now what's the name of our mascot?

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Ya know what I'd like to see, how about a new name for the mascot. I think it should be Hootie. I know we've discussed this before. I like the new outfit for the mascot, keep it. Just change the name. No one knows how to pronounce it or even spell it. Is it Owlsley, or Owsley or Owlsey? That's my point. I don't know if FIU or UCF have names for their mascots but think of a random school off the top of your head and then think about the name of their mascot.

UM - Sebastian

THE Ohio State - Brutus the Buckeye

Texas - Bevo

Syracuse - Otto

make it a name that everyone can pronounce and everyone can remember. Not sure who came up with the idea to change the name from Hootie, but change it's time to change it back

I thought Sebastian was a crab? ;) Risking being sued by Disney! ;D

IT should of been Digger since hes a burrowing owl. But I understand some folks thought there might be issues with another word that sounds very similar.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

I may have misspelled it. I see your point about renaming the mascot.

I thought it was Owsley? Maybe it is Owlsley. I really don't know how this name won a roundtable vote.

Agreed that it needs to be changed but it may be stuck now…

Digger is fine. Howard may work too - Howard the Owl? And Olivia for a girl, as I've campaigned for before.
