So. What's up with the whole mascot challenge? Remember that big hullabaloo the administration made about settling the "What's a Blugold anyway?" question once and for all? Sheesh. I thought this might actually become reality. What, with all the formal calls for design submission, mascot challenge landing page and eve, what seemed to be real, a panel of judges. Here, I thought when July 15 was announced as the date all former and current Blugolds would finally have a face to go along with a name, it would happen. Well, July 15 has come and gone. We're still a "spirit that lives in all students." (Bleh). And I still have to make up some lame story about what a Blugold is because a "spirit" is lame as hell. What the deal, UWEC?
