Enough already on the Tech "live mascot" complaints. The man himself will be responding soon...

Shelby, I will be communicating about progress on Tech XXII soon. Tech traditions are stronger than ever.
The complaints are valid. It's taking a year to complete.
Yea. I'm glad he's responding with something other than "Martians," but a year to get a dog requires a pretty substantial explanation.Quote:

Hopefully the "stronger tradition" refers to this. It's not like Tech could sell the litter to alumni and use that money to provide for the mascot program or anything.Quote:
