Traditions

Posted By: jrj84105

There are a few Ute based traditions that I would like to adopt. I think at least the first is PC.

1) Formally welcome the opposing team at the beginning of every game with the friendly Ute greeting "Maiku".

2) If we're going to light the torch, there has to be a way to do it, or simulate doing it, with a traditionally made Ute arrow.

Other ideas, not Ute related:

1) If we redo the entrance gate on the SEZ side I would love to have the entrance carved out of a very big sandstone wall with reproduction petroglyphs. I understand the petroglyphs are sacred, so probably not PC, but at least a big red sandstone wall. If we ever have to change our name, I want to be the Red Rocks.

o NEW: #2 is one hell of an idea and would make Florida State throwing a spear into the ground look like child's play. I can see it now, a tribe member enters the stadium on horse back, pauses at midfield, and launches a lit arrow at the cauldron.

o NEW: I second red rocks over hawks. We contract with Marvel to use The Thing as our mascot.

o NEW: So what. I don't care if it started with gymnastics. It sounds better than Red Tailed Hawks, it's more original, it's more local.
