LINK: Denver Boone Petition
The "I Support Boone" Facebook Page has started a petition to bring Denver Boone back as the official mascot of the University of Denver. Their goal is to get 2,000 online signatures and they already have 414 as of Friday afternoon.
Considering DU has an undergraduate enrollment of just over 5,000 students, 2,000 signatures would represent a sizable portion of the DU community.

EXCELLENT MOVE!!
LETS ALL GET BEHIND IT. IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE OFOYUR TIME TO ENTER. EVERY VOTE COUNTS.
Heard there was a focus group meeting last night and an elderly couple showed up.
The elderly alums tore into the student leaders who banned Boone funding on campus and are heading up the search for a new mascot.
They called the student leaders "selfish" & "spoiled." :-)
I am not elderly!
This is great, but if you want to make a difference, you need to play the way that the anti-Boone movement is. You could have 99% student, alumni, and community support, but it wouldn't matter. It's more important to attack with logic than it is by proving a majority- because that misses the point.
You lost me with your "logic" argument 7:23. Thought you had something going for a second. The anti-Boone crowd isn't attacking with logic. They are attacking with emotion, guilt and PC'ness.
The University doesn't care about any of these things though (either side of the argument). They are thinking much bigger picture. They are thinking about how they are perceived on a global scale, their reputation, and ultimately how these factors affect their bottom line.
I think they are completely missing the boat, but what do I matter? Nothing, until I cut a check for $50 million. Unfortunately, I'm about $49,999,950 short.
While you idiots are jawing back and forth about Boone....... Somebody forgot to mention that you have a new all-American hockey award winner.
You have a petition. How cute. Not effective but cute.
Wait, wait, wait, tell them how many Facebook friends you have. That ought to get a chuckle.
