When I saw this, the first person that popped into my mind was Red, from That 70's Show

Good ol' Kurtwood Smith. There was never any lack of dumbass behavior going on in the 70's show, so he got to say that a lot.  I would love to have a cardboard fan on a stick that had "Red's" face on it.  And boldly printed along the bottom would be DUMBASS!  I would carry it in my car and hold it up when the occasion called for it.......which unfortunately would be a lot.

Maybe I could get some fans like that printed with the original Scrappy on it (mainly featuring his face) and the same message across the bottom. Instead of booing bad/poor play the fans could just hold up their Scrappy Fans.

Make the glaring Eagle larger and make the Mean Green smaller and just below him......or lose it altogether.  The glaring look on his face and the NT on his chest says it all.

I was in Talons in the early 90s.  We were told the student body decided in the late 70s to change the name because it was too "warlike."  The costume wasn't great in the 80s and 90s, but there was NO support or budget from the athletic department during that era.

I was in that costume more than once, it was hot and smelly.  I imagine that the new one gets cleaned more often, now that there's money  🙂

I think it was the early 80s (some time between 81 and 85).  I recall the name change and the story about Scrappy being too aggressive/warlike.  Eppy won a student vote or something, but I don't ever remember getting the opportunity to vote on it.  Just remember how silly it was when the new name was introduced and the reason for it.

The name "Eppy" was selected by the spirit group Talons. It has some secret mystical meaning to their organization.

Huh.  I just thought it meant "androgynous hippy male who is attracted to other hippy males."

Figuring that she was a cheerleader and looking at the Cheerleaders for that time, could this be our mystery lady?

I took it a step further. Seems she got married and ended up as a VP for a sports trading card company which was pretty cool to see. (If my search was accurate)

As a student for most of the 80s, it was (is) really confusing when I returned to games after graduating that they were calling "Eppy" by a new name "Scrappy".

Haha nah. It’s one thing if he put up her address and phone number or tried to contact her but he came at it from an “I wonder” angle. I can understand that. I’ve done that with people from the past too.

It's not creepy if you call it journalism.
