[suinaustin]

I think we could use a change myself.

We should trade and take Scrotie.

better than having an eggplant as a mascot

OK - begs the question - what should be the new mascot ? - What's orange and shows some sort of power - maybe something with a flame of some sort. Firebrand OTTO !!!

We could create an elaborate back storied mascot. The offspring of an American Indian man and Asian woman. He could be highly intellectual, particularly in math and science and also respect the environment and own a casino.

No thanks.

 

[jekelish]

I'm not sure it would ever be a wise course of action to remove one of the most widely recognized mascots in college sports.

My son still can't get over the line: "dance, round man, dance". So, I'm with RF on this one. I'll keep my round man, thank you.

A big, nasty looking orange abominable snowman.
Perhaps resembling the great C-movie horror actor Rondo Hatton.
(Picture him as a hulking orange snowman. Perhaps holding a basketball and a snow shovel to shovel the opponents out of the Dome.)

You watch your mouth.

I'm sure Stanford fans saw that article and were like "Hrm, maybe we should change our mascot"

If we were to get rid of Otto, I would prefer we just do away with a mascot altogether.

 

[MSOrange]

No - I've grown to love Otto just from his awesome acting in those ESPN ads. But seriously, that was pretty good publicity even if they were messing with Otto.

 

[Ottoble]

Man the Dislike button can't get here soon enough. Otto is one of the best in the country, Unique from everyone else.

You would be wrong. End of debate.

[TexanMark]

Yes please, let's throw away one of the 10 most recognizable college mascots and be something generic like a Dog or Tiger.

 

[SC Orange]

If we get rid of Otto I would ignore it and always refer to our mascot as otto even if he was something else. Otto is Syracuse and Syracuse is Otto.

Whats next saying we need to Change of our orange and blue colors?

 

[Brooky03]

Get rid of one of the most iconic mascots in college athletics.



Seems like a good idea.

Perhaps we could change them to pea green and pink...Then we could have a bowl of pea soup with a ham shank for a mascot...

Don't mess with Otto, he may be a dumb mascot but he is OUR dumb mascot!

We are the ORANGE(men), Whiskey Tango Foxtrot would you want for a mascot?

 

[Shawn91111]

Didnt they try to do this during the early 90's. Thought the PS came out with some suggestions or something.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

If they kill Otto, we riot.

 

[HoustonCuse]

Yep and lets re-retire #44 too, and retire it in basketball as well while we are at it. And then name ourselves "The Wildcats"!! Yeah, Wildcats. Why hasn't any ever thought of that for a school mascot!!?




Otto is absolutely awesome, unique, and well known. Three things I am looking for in a mascot. But I'm nutty.

 

[GoCuse14]

before I even clicked on this I knew it would end bad. OTTO is a Syracuse icon.

 

[Briancuse]

No way, I love otto.

 

[realorange]

War Damn Otto!!
