Commentary: Go, Raccoons, go!

GO, RACCOONS, GO

I am not making this up. One of the proposed mascots for the high school formerly known as Drake, is — wait for it — the Raccoons. What could go wrong? 

The current mascot is Pirates. If you listen closely, you can hear Drake alumni mutter under their breath: Arrrrgh. 

There are two other options presented, however, The Rattlesnakes or The Deer. 

Arrrgh. Arrrgh.
