I am an alumni and have had bball season tix for 10 years. When did "Zuma" become a mascot or whatever he is and why? When they changed the new Monty to the current guy, I was happy cuz he's pretty awesome in the role. What's the point of 2 mascots. I kinda noticed "Z" last year and have seen a lot more of him this year... I just don't get it

"The Aztec civilization shared this image of the jaguar as the representative of the ruler and as a warrior. The Aztecs formed an elite warrior class known as the Jaguar Knights. In Aztec mythology, the jaguar was considered to be the totem animal of the powerful deity Tezcatlipoca."  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar#In_mythology_and_culture |

I am an alumni and have had bball season tix for 10 years. When did "Zuma" become a mascot or whatever he is and why? When they changed the new Monty to the current guy, I was happy cuz he's pretty awesome in the role. What's the point of 2 mascots. I kinda noticed "Z" last year and have seen a lot more of him this year... I just don't get it San Diego State has a mascot. That is the Aztec Warrior (as you probably know). It was a lot of work to get him approved with Dr. Weber. The Aztec Warrior Foundation had to jump thru hoops to make him accurate to be OK's. Zuma is the creation of an Aztec Admin. This Admin tried to push Zuma on the fan base approx 10 years ago and was voted down. Then this Admin tried to push Zuma onto the fanbase about 4 years ago and was voted down. When Brian Sipe wanted to restore longtime Aztec traditions, he was talking to this Admin and said he (Brian) would like to have something funny to interact with the Aztec Warrior. This admin pulled the picture of his creation Zuma (which had been voted down twice by the mascot committee) out of his files. The admin then talked Brian Sipe into implementing Zuma with the new traditions (and Brian Sipe was unaware of the controversy of Zuma), so he could get his idea in front of the public, even though it had been voted down twice already. Zuma was never voted on. Zuma did not have to be created under any scrutiny (like the Aztec Warrior did). And basically Zuma was pushed on the fan base, using Brian Sipe, the Aztec Legend to help pull the "Trojan Horse" into the fort. Zuma is not supposed by a mascot. he is a "character", who is supposed to be mingling with the kids. He is not supposed to be on the field or the court. Zuma is being pushed onto the court and field with (IMO as a Aztec Warrior Foundation member who knows the situation as well as anyone in town) the intentions of moving Zuma into the main mascot role when the time is right. Thus removing Monty Montezuma and the Aztec Warrior forever. No Aztec Warrior Foundation member has any problem with Zuma if he is with the kids upstairs or in a kids area. It is obvious that isn't the reason the Admin forced Zuma upon us, because Zuma is on the floor, dancing with the dance team, and hanging out in the student section. Dr. Weber has chosen to stay out of this fight (IMO), because it is his final year. |

I can't explain Zuma. Nor can I explain why he's such a BFD on this board.

Zuma will and should replace Monty as our primary mascot. Monty is racist and we should not make a mascot out of people.

Steve, what is your goal on this Zuma thing? Are you trying to get people so upset that they will go to the administration and demand Zuma be canned? Cuz I gotta tell ya man, you are having the opposite affect on me and my buddies. We are all so annoyed at your barage of ridiculousness that now we want him to stay. I know you probably aren't an annoying person, but you are driving people away from your goal. Just some food for thought. I was at a game and one of the administrators asked my buddy at the halftime thing his thoughts on Zuma and he told him he didn't mind it. He told me later the only reason he said that is because the anti-Zuma people are just being so ridiculous. Maybe you are swaying the masses to uprise against Zuma, but just know you are also driving away boosters and money givers with your schtick. take it for what it's worth. |
