St. John's New Mascot Is…
I know St. John’s has gotten bird crazy with all of their Tweets on Twitter but when I read on the Torch’s blog that St. John’s new mascot was “Thunderbird” as opposed to our old mascot “Thunder” I was pretty upset.
Fans are still upset over the 1994 decision to pull the plug on being called the Redmen, a name which had nothing to do with Native Americans but rather the color of our school (It’s true look it up). I’m curious as to the reaction of the fans as they hear the news of our new mascot which is more popularly known as a classic American car. Are we going to honk horns every time we score or toss anti-lock break pads into the stands instead of T-shirts?
Stay tuned as the student body will now pick a name for this newly anointed mascot which was most likely voted on in jest by a majority of our opponents’ fans or deadspin readers.
