No Cougars Allowed
 

How awesome is this? :D

New school can

P.C. gone to far. My high school in Oregon are cougars. ANd I know of at least two in my class that possibly are cougars.........

I guess the barracudas are out too.

Isn't this descriminating against Cougars? What about their rights?

So I guess "The Fighting MILFs" is out of the question..

WTF!!!!
Okay I can understand not being the bearded clams but this is just too much

That is copyright infringement. ;)

I'm moving back to Europe.

LOL! How far we have come being a "progressive" world...

So what about the Fighting Irish, or the Cleveland Indians?

???????????????????

Some could deem those as politically incorrect.

Remember the Tampa Bay Devil Rays? That is a name for the Manta Ray, I believe, but now they are the Tampa Bay Rays, as in rays of sunshine.

ivhs?

Wait-I'll go with you! Things are getting too crazy here.

Yep, the reactions to school mascots and team names are funny. When a new coach came from the mainland to run the football program at U of Hawaii he could not handle the team name the Rainbow Warriors. Changing that was the first thing he did. I guess the Gay inference of the word rainbow put him off.
The name was very popular and it took years for fans and sports commentators to make the change and stop calling them the bows in news casts. Funny now that coach is gone but its just too hard to go back to the old name I guess.

Our local high school is the Cougars, and the conotation never occured to me. Until now.

BWAHAAAAA!!!!! Now that was funny! :D

I thought taking the name of something was a sign of reverance.
Hmmm. What demographics is that board composed of?......

My "old school" middle school was the Lakeview Devils. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...leys/devil.gif

Washington State, Wazzu, Cougars

Let's go to Mexico with Jesse Ventura!

Jesus. When I was young, we still called them "beggars".

Another WSU Coug right here. Funny thing - so is my wife.

I almost ran to Snopes, just too weird.

Mountain View High School, Bend Oregon.

My high school mascot was the "Honkers" (as in the geese - alot of people call Canada Geese "honkers"). I don't know who the heck thought that mascot name up. :rolleyes:

My wife was 31 when I met her. she taught third grade at King Elementary in La Palma. their mascot?


The Cougars!

I'd guess removed - ns is out as well.

My H.S. mascot was an "Appleknocker." To this day, I still don't know WTF that is... We also have Centralia High School, home of the Orphans. Cougars seems a big step up.

I have all of you beat with a crazy mascot names. At my high school the mascots was....

The Poets

I kid you not. Sidney Lanier High School in Montgomery Alabama. The poets. Bart Starr went there and they were State champs many times.

The Pen is mightier than the sword! Was an actual chant in the grandstands :)

Pretty soon mascots will be banned all together. They will be considered offensive to someone so no on will have them.

Here we have the University of SC whose mascot is the Gamecocks. You can only imagine the bumper stickers around here.

Eastern Michigan University changed their mascot name at least a decade ago from "Hurons" (an Indian Tribe) to the "Eagles".

My HS was the Fordson "Tractors", there was a partially dismembered hulk of what was one on the premises rusting away outside.

Came here for the Cougar pics...sorely disappointed.

Herrin? Cobden? Anna? I know some Appleknockers from that area, but I can't remember the the town the school's in.

This Cougar thing is a ridiculous reaction to a fairly recent pop-culture term that will eventually go away. They should take a longer term, more mature view IMHO and name the team the Cougars.

Cold as it is up in your area I imagine you're ready. I probably won't go back to PA to work till April. Some of my buds still working up there told me it was 7 degrees up there the other night.

Had a big stink here in Florida a few years ago about the Seminoles. They wanted to make them change the name but the real Seminoles came forward and supported the mascot name. The Seminole indians have a good relationship with the school and did not consider the use of their name offensive.

The Appleknocker avatar resembles some hayseed bumpkin with a pipe holding an apple. From my experience in high school, I can tell you the pipe didn't have tobacco in it.

Frankfort Hotdogs, Speedway Sparkplugs.....two funny Indiana high school mascots.
