The Dalton State Basketball Mascot

“Clocked at 15 miles an hour, head out-thrust, tail streaming behind, in an instant I can swerve into a turn, using my tail as a brake or rudder for an unbelievably fast stop. Can you possibly imagine a better nickname for a basketball team?”

Anonymous, letter to the editor of the DJC newspaper, 1968
