Imitzel, is there a new name proposed for the Carthage teams?   Probably not a very good brand to go the Washington route and call them "the team from Kenosha."   Likely some new mascot and name, right?  Vikings and Titans already taken . . .  Carthage Cobras, Cougars, or Cardinals?  Any ideas? (Cathage Boscos!  :) ). 

Need some creativity here.   :)

The article stated the teams would compete this year simply as "Carthage College" while the school searched for a replacement name.

I suggest the Delenda Ests.

Dude, c'mon. You've been on this site practically every day for twenty years now. You've seen the man's name in this space at least every other time that you've logged on.

It's not rocket science. It's not race-against-the-clock lab research to find a cure for COVID-19. It's not the massive, life-draining struggle against all odds you faced to properly spell "Koschnitzky."

This is Bosco:



This is Bosko:



Chocolate syrup product =/= recently retired Carthage basketball coach

This is obvious, right?  Carthage Jumbos with an elephant mascot named Hannibal.  Done and done.

It was not obvious to me, but it is now.

I do think they will go with a more gender neutral mascot name.  Maybe just Jumbo.

I was gonna suggest something about elephants over on the women's board, but I'll just hop on this bandwagon.

I always think of Seinfeld, because that drink (and its rival, Ovaltine) gets mentioned in a couple of episodes with regard to the stand-up comedy routine of one of Jerry Seinfeld's rival comedians, Kenny Banya.

That is a great idea, Ryan.

Jumbx.

Redmen to Red Men to Jumbx would probably make ESPN.

Of course, for Carthage, I prefer the chocolate syrup!   :)

Jumbx has a certain ring . . . LOL.

I will have a hard time thinking of Carthage's teams, both men and women, as anything but the Jumbx from now on.

I think we should all agree to meet up every Thursday until basketball season begins to talk about Carthage and their effort to change their athletic brand.  Maybe every other Thursday.

Maybe they become the Carthage Boscos and the mascot is a giant bottle of chocolate syrup?
