Not only would they be more visible from that perch, you could set up an information booth/table about the Mustang rescue foundation. Allow people to see, and possibly pet, those animals up close. Use it to raise funds for the rescue foundation - as their gift was purportedly intended.

Having them stand in a corner of the field for the entire game does no one any good, inspirationally or otherwise. If we must have them, at least use them for some good - to raise money and interest for the Mustang rescue.

But apparently players came in and said that they somehow get power from the horses being on the field, and they have to be there...and apparently they even suggested praying around the bowed horses at the center of the field...

In the meantime, let's not suggest that the team wins or loses because of the Mustangs, since we won AT UAB and AT Tulsa. The Mustangs do not dictate the success or lack of success of the team. For whatever reason, the administration wants them. Don't support the mascot Mustangs, if you don't want to, but don't suggest that we won't be able to win on the road because they can't go. We didn't win at home because of them, and we didn't lose on the road because of them. They're mascots. That's it. Peruna isn't going anywhere, and these two have been kept out of the dog food factories. This just in: got a game Saturday against UTEP. If we win, and regardless of the presence of the new Mustang mascots, we're eligible for a bowl. It's a little more important, don't you think?

Some of us have gone to almost every home game over the last 20 years. That's a whole lot of bad football. So I do believe that gives us the right to gripe about things. We weil be there rooting for Mustangs, so you chill out Bubba!
