Controversy
* Recently, attempts were made to trade in the "Titan" for a neutral mascot in terms of race and gender (e.g. Tartan Thunder). The Tartan Titan is usually portrayed as a muscular, blond, Caucasian man holding a lightning bolt. These attempts were unsuccessful due to the overwhelming community support of the Titan.Fact|date=June 2007
