I heard a rumor that CY was the top candidate at Stanford. Looks like they finally want to replace that godawful tree and want a dominant mascot that actually looks like a Cardinal.
Word is the relationship between CY and Jamie Pollard has been rather chilly of late as well, as CY is a little miffed the mascot budget wasnt increased after the wins in online competitions.
It would be for the greater good if Stanford took the tree out to his brethren in the middle of a forest and planted it.
Cyclone
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'
