Someone tell the little shitz that it’s a cartoon figure and shut up.
There's a mascot called the shocker? Huh...
Sometimes I need to be reminded why I should go out and vote for Trump.
This is an excellent reminder.
Thans for your post!
The only bird that Dr. Oral knows is a “chickenshit”.
Next he’ll want to put a pink tie on the American Eagle and replace the arrows with cupcakes.
By the way, the Herky Hawk looks more like a pissed off Baltimore Oriole, and the Orioles are winning a lot.
If Dr. Oral wants a good bird for his college’s team, maybe it should be the DODO bird, now extinct, much like common sense in academia.
#33. Re the Wichita State Shocker mascot. Was it an ELECTRIC CHAIR? Now that would be intimidating on the field.
Oh, sorry Dr. Oral. It says “she” in the article. I’m flipping a coin about that.
Singing “Dude look like a lady”.
Having a bad hair day, 24/7?
She looks EXACTLY how I pictured her.
UCI is the Anteaters (Zot!!) taken from the BC strip. UCSB is the Gauchos from the days when it was UC Santa Barbara College and it was a mainly female school in the 30s. UCSC chose the Banana Slug—because they’ve always been UC Santa Cruz.
TEETH!!! ON A BIRD!!! I’m triggered.
Besides. If you trace those teeth just right you come up with a swastica. Herk is a racist.
pussies.
Very funny picture!
Then they made Goldy less threatening in response to the basketball team rape scandal.
You can't make this stuff up!
I work at UI. I will bet my bottom dollar that the U will not change Herky. These people are Hawkeye fanatics. One weak sister does not a fanbase make.
A University of Iowa mascot, Herky the Hawk, is asking the university’s medical department to make a professor of pediatrics wear a bag over her head arguing that her ugly visage is traumatizing students.
I actually think it is goofy and weird looking
I am traumatized by THAT!
Make it go away. Please.
I'm going to hide in my safe space for a while.
“Herky the Hawk, display friendlier facial expressions, arguing that his angry grimace is traumatizing students.”
Remember, everyone, these precious and delicate snowflakes will be the Obuma army that will go door-to-door and confiscate our firearms.
In a normal and sane world, it would be. But we don't exactly live in that kind of world anymore.
I'm sure satirists have it tough these days.
