Without ballot box stuffing or campaigning, and without a fuss like in Normal at the moment, TV comedian, Stephen Colbert is the namesake of the University of Wisconsin Lacrosse eagle mascot. Out of 10,000 students faculty and staff, around 3100 participated in an online vote to choose Colbert over Baldy, Edgar, Ernie, Screech and Talon. Voting proceeded after the originally chosen name of “Eddie”, created trouble since it is trademarked as the National Rifle Association’s safety mascot.

So it looks as if Colbert will lead LaCrosse on to Victory!!!!
