I gotta say the Greenman’s “Mercury Monkey” epithet (from whence also came “Rev”) gets my vote. It has a definite ring to it.

I always recommend adopting the epithet of an enemy. It adds zing and wears on the sleeve that much the better. Besides, it eats their hearts out (which, in true Aztec, tradition makes us stronger). The logo is also very good tobe going along with.

I prefer the title “Thermometer Team” myself.

We’ve been dubbed Rev. Anthony’s Screeching Mercury Monkeys. Check the archives; we even have a logo.

What happens now? The university will move it to a location that fits the sighting. requirements and Hansen makes some arbitrary adjustment for all future readings, or will the location bring the reading back into compliance and the adjustments get removed? This can be an interesting experiment on how the move is handled by the hockey team.

Completely off topic, if they are the hockey team, what are we? I think for the sake of friendship, kinsmen-ship, or fraternity, we should have a group identity. Something in keeping with the good natured, optimistic outlook most of us share.
