Former Sweet 16 school. Won’t spoil it...post your guesses below.

Wonder Boys

How recently a Sweet 16 team?

Crusaders are bad people

Valparaiso???

I'm going to guess you mean actual mascot (ala Big Al- Alabama) as opposed to team name (Crimson Tide).

Based on things I saw and heard from last year I am going to go with UNLV's mascot.

I meant team name. Edited the title.

Sweet 16 team within the last 25 years.

Valparaiso announced today that the Crusaders would be replaced.
Not sure if banned would be appropriate.
As an alum I really don’t care other than the replacement better be
good.

What total nonsense

I mean the whole point of a mascot is to instill fear in your opponent or look big and bad. There is a reason schools picked tigers, vikings, pirates, etc... and it isn't because they were perceived as good people or nice animals. Or better yet why it is Fighting Okra and not just Okra.

But being Pagans and not belonging to a modern day religion they get a pass

Newname #2: Valparaiso Ze/Zie

So let me get this strait. A university sponsored by and affiliated with the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod has changed its nickmane and mascot to that of a pagan, tribal, invading horde. That makes complete sence.

I took Vandals as a joke...

This is so f#####g stupid. Let’s just number the teams from #1 to #130.

“LET’S GO, FIGHTING 115’s!!!!!!”

How DARE someone change the mascot of a university I don't go to. THINK OF THE FEELINGS.


The snowflake reactionaries are just as bad as the snowflake whiners.
