At least they'll always have The Shot that helped them upset Ole Miss in the first round of the '98 tournament (thanks, Bryce Drew!):

So anyway.  Now that my question has been deleted by the moderator, I'll ask it again:

Does anyone know yet what the mascot will be?

I hope it's an anthropomorphic lighthouse.

I can't help but feel like they dropped the ball by not picking "Vanderbilt Locomotives."

The Valparaiso Vanderbilt Locomotives just sounds weird.

Using another colleges' name in your nickname would make some confusion.

Sounds potentially phallic.  :-D

Oh, for sure would be.  It would be as epic as Bryce Drew's shot.

My cousin's wife went to Valpo and is predictably upset by the name change.
MORE FUN THAN HUMANLY THOUGHT POSSIBLE

She should write an angry letter.

Not sure how angry I'd be at any of the institutions I attended if they changed their mascots.  I am also not sure why it would befuddle me more for one school over another...but it would.

She probably did, not that it would change anything. It's still not as bad as my friend who got upset his high school  changed its name from Indians even though he always acknowledged he didn't care about his high school sports teams.
