The change is what's most puzzling.

Yeah, I can’t believe them. What nerve! I bet it’s mostly due to texting and watching too much of the boob tube.

I didn't think it was PC or politically motivated just seemed a dumb mascot.

Got it, thx. Some of the replies were puzzling.

How intimidating will that mascot be? Will it at least be a Mad Cow?

I'll be glad when football starts, philosophizing about other school's mascots doesn't cut it.

I’m afraid you may have an inflated sense of value of this board’s in-season posts.

They don't need a cow mascot, just the abbreviated form: Ronald McDonald, Mayor McCheese, Officer BigMac. Hamburger sales at away games should soar. It is claimed MdDonald stole the mascot anyway: :roll:

DAVIS, Calif. (KTXL) — University of California, Davis students officially voted to change their mascot from a mustang to a cow Monday.

Gunrock the Mustang has been the UC Davis mascot since the 1920’s, however, this is not the first time the mustang has been voted out. According to the UC Davis cow4mascot Instagram page, in 1993 students voted for the cow to become the official UC Davis mascot, but then Chancellor Theodore L. Hullar and the administration rejected the decision.

At 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, there will be a meeting with the Cal Aggie Alumni Association and if that meeting is successful, it will then move to an administration decision.

“We have no idea what the administration stance is. We are worried they may ignore the vote as they have in the past due to possible athletics department pressure and/or alumni pressure,” said Hashimoto.
