I kinda like the "guns up" it at least makes sense. However I am surprised the Obama administration has not tried to have it banned for being too violent.
Agreed they should adopt a handicapped 1/8 Latino, 1/8 Black, 1/8 Native American, 1/8 Asian, 1/8 Indian (from the country of India), 1/8 Samoan, 1/8 Neanderthal and 1/8 alien transgender person as their mascot whom should be forced to practice every single religion that has ever been created.The whole mascot is offensive! What's a red raider, other than a masked bandito, or cattle/jimmie rustler, or Yosemite Sam?
There are two main stories as to how the name "Red Raiders" replaced its predecessor. In one story, football coach Pete Cawthon ordered attractive scarlet uniforms to help the team's identity. The football team, wearing its new outfit, defeated heavily favored Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles on October 26, 1934.[47] A Los Angeles sports writer called the Matadors a "red raiding team". Other writers who covered Tech sports caught on with the term and successfully promoted the use of "Red Raiders". In the other tale, former Lubbock Avalanche-Journal sports columnist Collier Parris, reporting on a 1932 Tech football game, wrote: "The Red Raiders from Texas Tech, terror of the Southwest this year, swooped into the New Mexico University camp today." The name soon became popular afterward and by 1936, it officially replaced "Matadors" at the same time the Saddle Tramps came about.[45]

It's a fake ass Hamburglar really.....
check out the football comedy, Necessary Roughness. In it the first opponent of "Texas State" is the "SWTSU Bobcats". Done when SWTSU was on a string of football NC's. It even has a female FG kicker.
Note: SWTSU became Texas State in real life.
