Re: The Bearcat

[Doug Phillips]

Something I've always wondered is why the mascot
doesn't have a name...like Brutus (Buckeye), Freddy
(Falcon - BGSU) or UGA (Bulldog - Georgia).  I've
always thought a naming campaign would be something of
interest to the university.  Instead of saying, 'look,
there's the bearcat', kids and fans can say, 'look,
there's -fill in name here-'.  

Any thoughts?
