Davidson still has the ugliest mascot in College Basketball!


For all of the Davidson fans that could use a Sapakoff's refresher course in FAN-101, let me begin by saying you have by far the ugliest mascot in college basketball. The Davidson Wildcat not only scares the kids, but I would be apprehensive if I saw that thing in a dark alley.

Secondly, if you feel it necessary to remove your shirt for a basketball game, you should at least paint something, anything, on your chest. Simply showing off your six chest hairs is not enough. Hell, other than the location of your seats, it was hard to know which team you were affiliated with.
If you noticed Cougar fans painted themselves maroon, with white letters. There were variations as the painted Coug Fans were numerous, but they all spelled wither "C-of-C", "C-O-U-G-S" etc. Obviously this is just advice (take it or leave it) but if you are headed to Rupp to represent your school and our conference, a little body paint would be apropos. I am not hating; I am just stating a few facts of the matter.

DONTAYE, DONTAYE, DONTAYE, DONTAYE...DONTAYE!


Dontaye Draper led the Cougars with 38-points, setting a new career-high and new record for the most points scored by a Cougar in a basketball game! His 8 baskets from behind the arc tied his career-high. But our team's leader just didn't get it done on the offensive-side of the ball in his 43-minutes of play; he held App's leader DJ Thompson to 2 of 16 (Thompson scored his 2 baskets in OT).

The CofC Sports Fan's Dontaye Cheer:
All right Maroon Nation, we need to come together on the cheer for Dontaye. I am not sure if I can take credit for it because my collegiate career is still a bit fuzzy, but the boys and I did this back when we did the "Hide your love away" when Dontaye was a sophomore or junior, like I said, still a bit fuzzy. The cheer for Dontaye goes to the tune of the Olay-soccer chant, just sub in Dontaye's name for Olay. Per example: Dontaye-Dontaye-Dontaye...Dontaye...Dontaye.... Dontaye-Dontaye-Dontaye....Dontaye...Dontaye...Dontaye!

Because they need them as much as we need them...
I know that Gene Sapakoff knocked the Maroon Nation for lacking in cohesive support for our beloved Cougars, but let's prove old Gene wrong and get out to the North Charleston Coliseum to support the Cougars tonight! You could watch it from the comfort of your own home on ESPN 2, but the Cougars just might need the hometown crowd to add a little more gas in the tank to help punch our ticket to the Big Dance! Go Cougs!
