Good riddance.

Easy scruffy.

Now we have another reveille to add to the campo......

This event might bother me if Rev had been a German Shepherd, a Belgian Malinois, even an American Pit Bull, but a collie...bye.

When are people going to accept the fact that Rev will likely be a Collie for a long time, if not forever?

When is she getting burried?

The 'original' Rev was a cur. It's not as though collies were directed by GOD. We could change breeds, but I'm sure we won't.

It's about identity and recognition. People think of Reveille and think collie. It's like smokey for Tennessee. Smokey is a blue tick hound because that's what he's recognized as. Rev will be a collie because that's people recognize her as.

So no one would know we were AGGIES w/o a collie...I really don't think of "Rev" when I think of Texas A&M. All classes before 19-- wanted a GS as a mascot, but we didn't get one. You're saying we "must" have a collie or we'll never be identified as AGGIES? I feel as though we might change breeds and be just as recognizable. The PR would certainly be good for us.

I'm not saying that people identify Aggies with a collie. I'm saying they identify our mascot as a collie. And for a school who has tradition as a major selling point, we would probably be doing ourselves a disservice to change something like that.

Rev has been a Collie for such a long time now (longer than she was a mutt) that people naturally associate A&M's mascot as being a Collie and the likelihood of that changing is slim to none.

Could change Reveille to a Texas Lacy, seeing that that's the State Dog and more resembles the original Reveille.

Actually, it was proposed in 2008, but was shut down.

FTR, I'm cool with the Collie, even though the Lacy is more of a badass dog.

No issues with the current breed, but a GS or english mastiff would be pretty awesome.

Why are people debating what kind of dog she should be? You do realize that Rev 7 died, right? Rev 8 has been at A&M since 2008 and she will probably be around for many years to come.

Cause it gives us idiots on TexAgs something to talk about.

And yes, I know it was 7 and not 8 that died. But I still want to debate, dammit!
