Getting shipped out to the other regional provides a wonderful opportunity to see traditions you've taken for granted thru uninitiated eyes. This observation flabbergasted me even more than "who ever thought 'Give My Regards to Broadway' would make a good fight song?" (from the same regionals) The Big Red Bear was changed into its current snarling form when I was an undergrad, and I've always thought it made a much better sports mascot than Brown's goofy, cuddly version. It never occurred to me that anyone could mistake the Bear's eternal snarl for something rodential (reminds me of the Groundhog/Chipmunk dichotomy from "Grand Old Ivy"); live and learn. Personally, I think the Black Squirrels would be a good mascot for Princeton if they ever decide to drop that Tiger thing.
