It was dumb when I was at Utah and it still looks ridiculous. Either we have a Ute as a mascot or we change it all together. I cannot stand that we are the Utes but we can’t have it as a mascot. It can be done in a very dignified way instead of having a stupid chicken hawk dancing all around. Go Utes!!

I disagree

I like being a Ute. Cosidering the situation I think a bird of prey local to the region is the perfect mascot. It even fits the drum and feather logo that has always existed.

Not to mention, I have always, i say always, enjoyed a good chicken hawk foghorn leghorn fiasco.

Still hate it!

If that is the case then so be it but change the school mascot from the Ute to the Fierce Utah Chicken Hawks. My main point is to decide on one mascot and stick with it. Even if it is this scavenger.

Swoop as a Bird Head Warrior

I too have grumped from time to time about the PC crap, and would love to see a proud Ute warrior as our mascot, but it just occurred to me that, embracing the Swoop concept, he could be portrayed as something like one of those Egyptian-style bird head warriors, like Stargate or something. That could be cool, maybe?

Swoop is a great Mascot

I love representing the Ute Nation. It would be nice to have a Ute warrior again, but times change and we have to roll with it. In the meantime, having a bird of prey works for me. I think is a fine compromise that still reminds me of what the school represents.

BTW, I have to admit that I caught the Stargate reference… how pathetic is that?
