Since the question was earlier asked about athletic success I’ll ask this one.
Assuming Charlotte gets a football team, would you…
Keep Norm the Niner as the mascot.
Select a “fierce” mascot and have it kept on campus and shown at the stadium on Saturdays.
Get Norm the Niner a donkey to pull along the sidelines.
Background: LSU’s mascot, Mike V, died earlier in the year. They released his replacement out into his new digs yesterday for a visit.

Norm needs to have the look of a miner that is willing to kill you for a claim. He needs to look as if he just woke up in a brothel after downing 37 shots of Whiskey and blowing all of his prospecting proceeds on 3 whores the night before.
Totally agree with the donkey, animal mascots are a must for college football, plus we don’t need some mutant war-donkey, a donkey in itself is known for being stubborn and damn near impossible to move, just like a good defense, its all coming together…
These photos I found don’t do it justice, but Army had a mule mascot at the Wake Forest game Saturday. He is a must should we get a football team, unless we get one of the living variety!
Why not give Norm a pet owl? It will be a symbol of our original football team and it’d be a lot less stinkier than a donkey. Plus, owls are scarier than donkeys.
