Just like the atmosphere thread...
Pretty everyone thinks their schools is the best.

If a Seminole Indian isn't sticking a flaming spear into the
ground from atop a Horse...there is no mascot/spirit.
FSU doesn't have a "mascot" per se...we have the spirit
of the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
Not only that, how we maintained the name and told the NCAA
to shove it...is legendary itself.
When then FSU President TK Wetherell was summoned to the
NCAA offices in Indy, he brought with him the then Chief of
the Seminole Tribe of Florida...Mike Osceola...the great, great
great grandson of Chief Osceola.
He explained to the do-gooders on the NCAA committee, how
FSU and the Seminole Tribe had worked together for 40 years.
How FSU always gave scholly's to Seminole Indians. How FSU
always sought permission of attire and anything else that would reflect on the Seminole Tribe. He even discussed how the Seminole Tribe got a financial cut out of everything FSU sold
with "Seminole" on it. He told of the time that the Seminole Tribe
took offense at a then named mascot..."Sammie Seminole" and how FSU immediately scrapped it.
He even reminded the committee that the Seminole Tribe of Florida
is the only Tribe never to sign a peace treaty with the American
Government. They just signed a truce.
He said it was their decision to make, not some committee with
the NCAA.
A woman, sitting on the panel then told Mike, in so many words...
"We're just looking out for the well-being of Native-Americans."
To that Mike Osceola responded..."It sounds to me like this is
just another example of the White Man trying to tell the Red Man what's good for him."
Then he sat down. 24 hours later we were Seminoles forever.
