Steve, Thanks for fighting to get rid of Zuma and solidify the Aztec Warrior as our one and only mascot. All I can say is that I'm glad you are fighting for us. I wouldn't want to be on the other side of a fight with you...I don't think I would have enough stamina to keep coming back. Keep fighting bro! Go Aztecs! Never....Never...Never...Give Up!!! Keep fighting and don't let these people who are uninformed bother you.

Here are some more highlights of the meeting last night... __________________________________________________ The Board of Directors of the Aztec Warrior Foundation (Bruce Johnson, Rulon Jenson, Martha Beckman, and Steve Anderson) met with the current mascot committee, Jim Herrick (Alumni Director), Steve Schnall, Brian Sipe, Mike the Monty (Aztec Warrior)... to discuss the current status of the Aztec Warrior as well as Zuma. The Board of the Aztec Warrior Foundation unanimously recommended: Zuma, if he continues shall: 1/ NOT be on the court or field 2/ NOT lead the team on the court or field 3/ NOT be anywhere near the court or field 4/ NOT be referred to in any way as a "mascot" and that 1/ he may, if necessary, be at the tailgate area, parking lot and any area outside of the seating area where a kid's zone is located. 2/ he may, if necessary, be associated with the Aztec kid's club 3/ the admins may sell merchandise w/ Zuma on it. ___________________________________________________ More later. Well Steve your "friends" on the mascot committee obviously just blew off your excellent suggestions. That damn BYwho cougar was all over the court last night. It was there for the player introductions (albeit behind the AW) and was also out there with the dance team and other times. Aside from that, it was its same annoying self wandering around beneath the basket and tunnels and bugging people courtside at halftime. I saw minimal interaction with kids. Get rid of that stupid thing. It's beyond embarrassing and has nothing to do with Aztec tradition.

That's why he's saying don't give up on the fight if you want to keep traditions.

Finally met the cougar last night, has anyone noticed his palms are wet? They were yesterday after a handshake.

Truly vital information imparted here. I for one hope this thread never dies. Oh and BTW, just who IS Zuma? One of the posters above perhaps? Inquiring minds want to know. And does he aspire to be to SDSU what Ducky is to Oregon? www.thewizofodds.com/

I thought the agreement was to have Zuma NEVER be on the court, not be a central figure and basically stay outside, like a good kitty, and interact at the children's area...which I believe is at the McDonalds down the street and around the corner from Viejas Arena.
Wa happen with that?

Steve is right, the university is trying to shove that feline down our collective throats. Keep fighting the good fight Steve, and the haters can kiss our collective asses.

The university's official position is that he will always be our mascot. I could care less whether or not Zuma stays, goes, or dances with the cheerleaders on the court. Guess what? You and the others who are prone to fits of hysteria don't know jack. All you do know is that you're delicate sensibilities are disturbed by a student in a cat costume. And that's all you know about that. Put that in your committee's pipe and smoke it.

Well, unless you're an admin in the know, your two cents are worth no more than Steve's, Fred's or anyone's, so stop trying to act like an authority with your mere opinion.

I thought it was funny also. Thank you for your appreciation. I think it got lost because people had to click on links. Anyways, the new SDSU mascot is the love child of Monty and Zuma....the Jagtec Montyzuma! Now we can all move on since we have a new SDSU mascot that will make everyone happy That last pic is FUNNY! Did no one else see it? Attachments:

Also I think Monty really needs a new shield. The one he has right now looks like a wimpy paper machete. He should have a shield similar to the one we use for football games.

An interesting compare and contrast was Chet on the floor versus Zuma.
One evokes high fives and the other evokes hisses.
Seems to me there is a logical GAP. In any event, I have no dog (cat) in the fight., but thought that C&C was thought provoking.

It's not necessary to be an "authority" to state a fact that is public knowledge. There's no opinion involved when I state facts such as the following: The Aztec Warrior is our mascot... the university's official position is that he will remain our mascot... Anyone making unfounded claims that Zuma will remain while the Aztec Warrior will be phased out is selling you 2 cents worth of pure bullsh!t. I'm not buying any.
