    This year's mascot should be the infamous "trey"

      This has got to be the BIGGEST JOKE of semi-finalists.

      Looking at the group - it is a MORTAL LOCK for the Squirrel.

        I like the CLOCKwork Orange theme. It would build anther bond with our UIUC brothers and sisters

            Honestly the squirrels idea imo is lame, I like the gargoyle idea or nothing at all...

              Thats what I also said in the survey, Gargoyle or nothing. I dont know who these people are that seriously love the squirrels but i dont think I would like to meet them. I would call on all self-respecting athletes to transfer to other institutions if we adopt a squirrel mascot. There is nothing "Brave" about the squirrels who run up and bite people or steal their food. I think the squirrels on campus should be trapped and executed.

                If you don't like the idea of a squirrel mascot, or any of the suggestions, then here is your opportunity to vote "No Mascot". I have implored for 7 years to people who are vehemently opposed to the squirrel to suggest something. None have offered.

                If you want to continue being generic, here is Bradley fans big opportunity.

                Personally, I feel generic does nothing for the university. The squirrel offers positives both in marketing and entertainment value, as well as opens up otherwise unavailable markets.

                The clock could also be very workable. It's not something I had thought of. . .but throw in the name Tick-Tock and you've got something.

                Every college campus in the world has gargoyle's.

                Let's not forget, gargoyles scare kids. Creighton went with a vicious Billy Bluejay in the late 70's, but parents stopped taking their kids to the game because the kids were scared. After half a season, he was gone.

                Yeah, the gargoyle would be a brilliant move. One of the best things about BU games is the kids.

                  If we can't have a brave as a mascot, why have a mascot at all? A mascot is as useless at our games as the band who I think forgot how to play the Bradley fight song. Of course, if we could keep Herzog quiet and stop the stupid promotions the band might be able to keep the crowd in the game.

                    In no way, shape, or form should we have a squirrel as our mascot if we want to be a respected institution. In looking for a mascot we should imagine something that we would have pride in running down the field at Shea Stadium or on the court at Carver. I took the survey, and for this reason I like the Braveheart or the Gargoyle. As an athlete, if our mascot is a squirrel, I will petition to have it barred from sporting events, seriously.
                    People need to recognize there is a huge difference between playing hard, and playing well...

                      BU was laughed at with the whole Bobcats crap a few years ago.

                      The Squirrel thing would be worse.

                      Simply Bradley University is enough if we can not use the "Braves".

                          Please fill me in on this. Is Bradley thinking of changing its nickname? To Squirrels!? That cougar I used to see walking up and down the aisles was ridiculous, but this would be no better! How about we forget all this idiodic contreversy and put a REAL Brave out there!

                            Not change the nickname but create a mascot other than a brave since the NCAA calls it hostile and abusive (fighting irish?). If we want to have something local how about the the Avanti's gondola. We could dress some student in that famous sweet bread and kids could tear hunks off and eat during the game. Sorry gotta go hungry now.
