I liked SU better when they were the Saltine Warriors.

Back in the day we made you circle that shit.

Saltine Warriors? You guys should have gone with Ritz Warriors or Crackers.

I always knew FSU stole their mascot from someone.

Actually, There are different Indian Tribes. There is not just one. (Quit stereotyping)
And, for the record, FSU doesn't have a mascot...we have the "Spirit" of the Seminole
Tribe of Florida.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida is the only Tribe located in America that has NEVER
surrendered to the US Government. A Truce was established long, long, ago but
they never gave in. They remain "unconquered"

Chief Osceola was a real person. Chief of the Tribe, whose grave is outside the
back gate at Fort Moultrie in Charleston, SC. Where he rests in honor.

When the NCAA tried to get us to drop the "Seminole" name...not only did our
President and AD attend that meeting in Indy, but Mike Osceola, then Chief of
the Tribe, went with them.

His remarks are legendary. He explained to the NCAA that FSU and the Tribe
had had a working condition for the previous 30 years, before any NCAA involvement.
He explained how the Tribe makes any and all costumes worn. How the Tribe has
always had the final say in any product sold bearing their name. How they get a
piece of the action on everything sold. That they have always worked hand-in-hand
with the University. They once nixed a Seminole "mascot" called "Sammy Seminole."

When some woman member of the NCAA panel replied that they were only doing
what they believed to be in the Tribe's best interests he replied..."It just sounds to
me, that this is just another way of the White man trying to tell the Red man what's
good for him."

Case closed.

The Seminoles are a pretty smart outfit. They have all that free land furnished
by the government. They get a percentage of everything FSU sells. They own
all the Casinos. Do not mistake the Oklahoma Seminole Tribe with the Florida
Seminole Tribe. Florida Seminoles don't need to sell blankets by the side of
the road.

We're a long way from the "Saltine Warriors." You ever seen a New York Mohawk
or Oneida Indian wear a headdress like that? The Mohawks and the Oneidas were
just wanna be Sioux, huh?

I like WVU's Daniel Boone looking character. 'Course Daniel didn't settle there.
He just stopped briefly, and then moved on to a more chic location...more modern...
The hills of Kentucky and Tennessee.

Dogs are the most overused mascot on the planet but still better than some guy in a costume.
And that one only comes in 9th out of dogs.

Not a Red Fader fan...but those jet black, high strung quarterhorse (sometimes too high strung) courtesy of Scarbrough's are pretty damn impressive and fast animals!

And then the goofy bastyuds go and screw things up with this Yosemite Sam looking cartoon!

Question NP. Did the Seminoles actually have and ride horses? I know Chief Osceola is always depicted on one. A lot of the tribes the US Cavalry could get "under control" walked and were not horsemen. The US Cavalry liked to have never gotten the Comanche's "under control" because they were much, much better horsemen than the Cavalry were. That and the Cavalry couldn't handle the wide open spaces like the Llano Estacado, Big Bend, etc, when they got passed the tree line around Weatherford, TX.

 

[DHoey]

We got a horse and a dude in a skirt wielding a sword. Gotta say that tops your Sooners.

tOSU's mascot looks like a testicle.

Bragging about a dude wearing a skirt.......and here I thought that San Fran was the gayest city in Cali

No. The Seminoles would never be confused with the Sioux, Comanche or Apache.

They gave the Army fits because they were masters of the terrain and environment. Florida, had
to be a hell hole for soldiers coming from the North to fight in. The Dade Massacre occurred about
30 miles from where I live. That Battle field is nowhere near the size of the Civil War battlefields
that I have visited. It's over in Bushnell, FL and the whole area isn't a football field long.

The only folks mounted that day were Major Dade and some LT serving with him. Everybody else
was on foot. The Seminoles had tracked this Army relief force of 105 men marching to reinforce
a Fort near Ocala. (They were coming from a Fort in what is now Tampa) Bushnell is about halfway.
The Indians, were lying in wait for them and sprung the trap. They killed all but 3 of the soldiers
that somehow had managed to escape. Osceola wasn't at that fight. He was somewhere else, but
he was enroute. Micanopy, (American name) was the Chief in command of the Seminoles that day.
That was the fight that started the 2nd Seminole War.

Sam Houston fought in that war, alongside Jackson. I believe Houston was wounded twice during
that war.

Oh look a poll where everyone votes for the category that applies to their favorite team!

How many more days till the season?

 

[cwerph]

If your team has a live mascot, they have at least one more high-protein meal if everything goes to hell. Just sacrifice that critter and roast him on a spit.
