I don't care what gender a leprechaun may be, but I want the mascot to have earned it through blood, sweat, and tears.
I remember in 1992, the mascot we had was one of the most amazing ones. He was the epitome of physical fitness, and had absolutely no trouble busting off all of those pushups each time we scored, and we scored a ton that year... He was one of the best at hyping up the crowd.
I can't remember his name, but remember how he absolutely smoked the rest of us in that physical education rotation for gymnastics back when we were freshmen.
