An Admin (who is actually on the mascot committee as a go between between the committee and Dr. Weber) recently over heard some Aztec fans tailgating.
One of the tailgaters is currently on the Mascot Committee and has been since the Aztec Warrior was officially brought on.
These tailgating Aztec fans were complaining about Zuma. The Admin (who is on the current mascot committee as the go between with Dr. Weber) walked up to his co committee member and said...
"You guys were duped on Zuma"
I have found out thru friends who are still on the mascot committee (of which I was on until 2 years ago) how it went down.

The following is from a person who was in that meeting and here is how it was explained to me...
Brian Sipe had some new ideas that he wanted implement (Warrior Walk, Black Cloud/Swarm, Honorary Aztec). He was brought into the mascot committee meeting to express them.
At that meeting an Admin explained the new ideas and threw Zuma into the mix of ideas. Since Brian Sipe really doesn't know the history of Monty, Aztec Warrior, and Zuma (like us who were involved), he never said it was his idea or that it wasn't his idea.
Zuma was to be a supplemental mascot, cater to the kids, be in the concourse area, not conflict with the Aztec Warrior, stay off the field and not play a major mascot role.
While these ideas were being explained to the committee, the admin that reports to Dr. Weber stayed silent.
Since Brain Sipe had some great ideas and this Zuma idea was introduced as part of his plan (and really wasn't), the mascot committee went along with the idea, feeling that the admins were telling the truth on what part Zuma would play.
The mascot committee is made up of 2 Admins and 4/5 alums.
The 2 Admins on the committee are the creator of Zuma and the go between with Dr. Weber.

Can somebody tell me why the Admin that is the lead of that mascot committee would come to another mascot committee member about 6 weeks ago and say...
"You guys were duped on Zuma?"
Is it a coincidence that the Mike Lopez (the Aztec Warrior) is allegedly leaving and there has not been an ad put in for a new Warrior and there is no back up?
