UW Mascot: “Enough!”
Echelon
Washington’s adorable Alaskan Malamute mascot “Spirit” apparently has a shoulder condition that will prevent him from panting, sleeping on the track, and discreetly sniffing cheerleader underwear this Saturday against BYU.
Let me be the first to speculate that Spirit, who has been the mascot since 1999 and is scheduled to retire at the end of this season, has simply had enough of this shit.
Let the Alaskan Malamute puppy community commence jockeying to be the replacement!
(ahem) Go Dawgs!

Awwwwww….puppy pictures!
I just adopted 6 of those puppies.
All of these recruits earn 5 stars in the adorable department.
I just hope they can tackle.
Can they start at WR or DB next year?
These puppies are the most positive thing to come out of the season so far
I’d like to feed those puppies some referee’s castrated ballsacks
I submitted my resume to be a replacement. Unfortunately, my underwear sniffing wasn’t exactly discreet.
PS: I regret nothing.
I too, am sour about the status of our great husky football
Thank you for voicing your opinion, Sweden Rocks.
Don’t get me wrong, I have loved Spirit these last nine years. He’s a beautiful Dawg and I’m proud to call him my mascot. In fact, I wish I could watch him tear Harry the Husky apart, who has done nothing but piss me off and make us look like retards. However, despite Spirit’s hard work and devotion to the University, I think it is time for the end of the Malamute era. We are the Washington Huskies. Malamutes are not Huskies. They are a close cousin to Huskies. So why is our mascot not our actual mascot?
When I think about all of the other PAC-10 schools and their mascots, I feel blessed, because I think we are really the only school that can actually have a real life version of our mascot at the games. Technically, Oregon, Oregon State, and Stanford could have their boring, sorry mascots at the game, and I don’t know if they do that or not, but those mascots suck and don’t bring anything to the table. Having a Duck or a Beaver waddling around on the track getting trampled by cheerleaders as they take the field would only hurt morale. As a Husky fan, I personally would love to see it, but from their perspective it wouldn’t make any sense. And Stanford, “Woohoo! Go Stanford! Look at that awesome tree planted in the corner of our stadium. Let’s go pet it.” No! Wrong! Retarded! Only we can pet our mascot. We have an animal that can walk around and be awesome, all the while getting showered with affection and treats. All of the remaining mascots are either too wild and dangerous (Cougars, Bruins, Wildcats, Bears), not real (Sun Devils), or are long dead (Trojans). So I ask, why are we settling for this “close enough” kind of mentality? Can we please get a real Husky as our next mascot?
My nomination is obvious: Kochab. I may be biased because he is a Colwell, but no one can deny his power, his majesty, his energy. If you’ve never met this specimen, then you don’t truly understand the beauty that God is capable of creating in this world. I know that those of you that have met him were never the same again. Let me give you an example of how incredible this animal is. I brought him to a tailgate last year. In fact, I believe it was the Apple Cup. Some of you were there and I’m sure you remember it well. He hung out, got some affection, ate some cheesesteak, and was on his way after a few hours. This may seem like common dog stuff, big whoop. But, did you know that in the amount of time it took me to walk him from my parents’ car in the U-village parking lot to the tailgate, Kochab made the evening news, murdered seven Cougar fans, and got me laid four times? That’s a fucking mascot! If Kochab was made the next Husky mascot, the days of lounging and butt sniffing on the sidelines would be over. We would have to beat the cheerleaders back with a club to keep them from getting their lipstick on his lipstick. Opposing fans would fight over his Dawg shit like starving Horn N*****s chasing a Red Cross truck. Mike Bellotti would get caught on national television sniffing Kochab’s ass. When asked about it later in a press conference, he would say, “I don’t know, I couldn’t help myself. His butthole smelled like the meaning of life.” That’s just the kind of raw attraction that this Dawg possesses. I can’t explain it myself and I’ve had him for eight years. He would be on the sidelines with headphones on calling plays. Sometimes he might even throw on a jersey and go in and block for Locker when the shit gets serious. He’s just that awesome and that committed. He is a TRUE Husky. Pure bread Siberian. Balls in tact (I’m talking double trouble, none of this one-ball faggot shit). No fear. No remorse. The real fucking deal. Why can we not take this ACTUAL Husky and make him our Husky? Husky nation will never be the same. I would be scared for the rest of our conference if Kochab was even allowed to set one paw inside our stadium. Don’t be surprised when the sky rains roses and the rivers run purple. It’s not the end of the world, it’s the beginning of the truth. Let the REAL Husky era begin. The Kochab dynasty is upon us.
I don’t know how anybody can possibly respond to that. It’s perfect.
Didn’t Kochab bite off your dad’s finger? Good point about the live mascot though. I’d actually like to see UCLA trot out a trained bear.

Yeah, sort of. My dad stuck his hand in the middle of a dog fight so I’m not really sure what he was expecting. It’s actually believed that the other dog was the one that actually bit my dad’s finger but it all happened so fast, it’s hard to say for sure. We never found the finger on the beach and I don’t think it came out in Kochab’s turds so…. who knows. Anyway, even if you could prove that Kochab was the one that bit my dad’s finger off, I don’t think this is necessarily a knock against Kochab, and I don’t think it should affect his nomination as the next Husky mascot. Sometimes you gotta bite the hand that feeds just to show the world that you can.
Great post Emancipator. However, Husky is a general term for several breeds of dogs used as sled dogs such as:
Alaskan Husky
Alaskan Malamute
Canadian Eskimo Dog
Eurohound
Greenland Dog
Mackenzie River Husky
Norwegian Elkhound
Sakhalin Husky
Samoyed
Seppala Siberian Sleddog
Siberian Husky
Tamaskan Husky
I’m sorry but that’s simply not true. Technically, malamutes are a different breed of dog then huskies. Go check out akc.com. While it may be true that you and you’re free spirited friends aren’t bound by definitions, you can’t just call any dog with a sled tied to it a Husky. People may refer to malamutes as huskies, but those people are idiots and their misuse of the word has no bearing on the actual definition. Sorry.

Notice the part where it says the Alaskan Malamute is a cousin to the Samoyed of Russia, Siberian Husky, and the Eskimo dogs of Greenland and Labrador. I don’t know about you, but I am not my cousin. Thus, a malamute is not a Husky. Bitch. Now can we please move on to the next step and get Kochab on the field.
If we were the University of Washington Siberian Huskies I would get your point, but we’re not. We are Huskies, which is a blanket term for several breeds of sled dog. Maybe the next mascot will be a Eurohound or a Greenland Dog.
Saying that a Malamute is not a Husky is like saying a Puerto Rican is not a Mexican.
omg! SOOO cute, i wish i had a dog…sigh soooo sad. i love siberian huskies! and the conneticut huskies…
OMG! I really want one of those, I have been wanting a siberian husky for YEARS! I’m not going to get one though…sigh.
