Name that Bobcat
Special to The Colonnade
The GCSU athletics department, in association with the Thundercats student spirit group, announce the “Name That Bobcat” contest.
Since the University’s mascot change from the Colonials to the Bobcats in 1998, GCSU has not had a tangible figurehead that represents the University on a wide scale. After several months of hard work and preparation by the Thundercats and funding from GCSU’s SABC, the Bobcats now have that figurehead in the form of a Bobcat Mascot costume.
The Bobcat mascot, which will be present at athletic events, university promotions and school sponsored functions, is tentatively set to make its roaring debut at the first home basketball game versus Carver Bible College on Nov. 26. However, the Bobcat mascot is currently nameless.
The “Name That Bobcat” contest challenges the GCSU community to create a unique and catchy name for the university’s mascot.
“I’m positive that with the help of the Bobcat fans throughout the community, the perfect name and representation of GCSU will be selected,” said Jason Hendrix, Thundercats vice president and mascot chair. “The mascot will be one of the most important ambassadors of GCSU and that legacy will continue for years to come.”
Suggestions and submissions to this contest can be sent via email to gcsu.sid@gcsu.edu, placed on the open forum on the social network Facebook in the “Name That Bobcat” group, and/or placed into the “Name That Bobcat” suggestion boxes appearing soon throughout the campus. Suggestions will be compiled until Nov. 10, when five selections will come up for vote by the University community to garner an official title for the nameless ‘Cat.
