Whoa, reader Mike A., in addition to providing this week's topic, has just provided a crapload of mascot tips. I'll be saving most of them for later, after I get a chance to look at them myself, but this one goes well with the previous post, as it contains an anti-mascot rebuttal to the first piece below. By the way, I'm not entirely clear on one of the pro-mascot author's points. Once the cheerleaders are no longer intact, can the mascot programs be reinstated, or are they just gone forever?
