Amherst is in the middle of deciding a new mascot, which naturally applies to their football team.

The old one, Lord Jeffs, is out as the man it is named for thought giving smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans was a cool idea.

Possibly the most popular of the semifinalists?

Hamsters.

You see, it's an anagram of Amherst.

And like most of the student body, it's a mammal. And they're male and female, also like most people associated with the college.

(That's from the list of rationale behind the suggestions.)
I want to enroll just so I can be selected to vote for Hamsters. That is a Good Mascot.

 A coworker and I just had the the dumb school team names conversation yesterday.



I have no idea what a red hurricane has to do with Western Pennsylvania. :psyduck:


Edit: For at least one year we had a re-envisioned mascot that was basically an upside-down red poop. We've moved on, thankfully.

Steak sandwiches are dumb unless you mean like philly steak. A proper steak is too chewy to be the filling of a sandwich.
You should try an Argentinian steakhouse sometime. It might change your mind.

 #6 is rad, I'll take it. I'm surprised Pitt got as many votes as they did, considering how many people they've lost to graduation. Maybe the coaches place more faith in the program than in the players for the PSU and Clemson wins.
