Helloooooo cheerleaders! Oh wait, there's a new mascot on the page?:nod:

[Tatanka]

Rising from the mist, a native son returns.

His steely gaze strikes terror in the hearts of his foes.

Armed with a powerful sword, he defends our pride and honor. On his broad shoulders, he carries the mighty Augustana tradition.

He possesses a spirit as untamed as the flowing Nordic locks that escape his helmet … a helmet adorned with sharp horns and five steel rivets representing the five core values closest to his heart.

His intense focus is directed toward new frontiers where he will fight heated battles.

Leaping from tree to tree!

As he floats down the mighty rivers of South Dakota!

With his best girl by his side!
The Dogwood!
The Seedless Cottonwood!
The Ash!
The Sequoia!
The Little Whopping Rule Tree!
He'll sing! Sing! Sing!


Brings a tear to the eye, no?

I don't know, doesn't it seem kind of hostile and abusive?

Those cheerleaders look like 7th graders! Seriously.

Not to me. I'm precisely 0% Scandinavian! :)

Whew. I thought I was just getting too old.

I think you are kind of hostile and abusive then! :D

I just want to know what will happen to the most present mascot at Augustana games for the past dozen years, the "Augie Doggie". Now that has got to be the biggest example of PC(political correctness) I have ever seen. Your team is the Augustana Vikings, but in the name of PC you hide the fierce Viking mascot and bring out the cushy friendly pup. Now they are willing to being back fierce?????????
