Um... yeah.
I second that.

What, no tag?

Go Dumples!

Whoa am I glad I didn't go to Dartmouth. I really wanted to avoid places where they not only act like drunken idiots, but CELEBRATE it. At the very least they could recognize that what they are doing is stupid and escapist. I didn't go around saying "YEAH! I PLAY VIDEOGAMES ALL NIGHT WOOOOOOH!" when I was in my dork escapist phase, because I knew what I was doing was harmful to me and ultimately bad.

It beats Orle, the might fighting owl.

I like the name. Keggy the Keg? How witty!

The other mascot is Dickey.

I liked it better the first time I saw it in Baseketball.

splattermouse: Canadian? When did they move Dartmouth to Canada?

I don't want to know where the beer comes out. Ewwww.....

splattermouse is obviously confusing Dartmouth University with Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Those wacky Canadians and their skewed sense of geography!

If I recall correctly (I went to a small college that aspired to be Dartmouth, but wasn't) Dartmouth used to have a Native American as its mascot. (I believe they were originally founded as a school for Native Americans.) Anyway, that was deemed too demeaning, but there's never really been an official mascot since. Somehow I doubt Keggy will make the cut, but just like a resourceful student can still get a hold of a Dartmouth Indians T-Shirt, I imagine Keggy could grace cheap merchandise for a long time too.

our mascot here at Gettysburg College in PA used to be a giant dildo...





in reality it was "billy the bullet"... the school dropped him as the mascot a few years ago for obvious reasons

When I was on the Jacko staff at Dartmouth back in the 80s (yes, I'm old), we ran a short-lived campaign to make Mr. T into the college symbol. Didn't really take off, so they're still stuck with the Big Green (joining Harvard, Cornell, and Stanford as teams with colors for mascots).

That's real original. Or not. Anyone seen Baseketball?

Dartmouth has a mascot. It isnt keggy. It isnt a damn Moose.

It has been and always will be the Indian. It was killed by the pc police in the mid 70's.

FYI: Dartmouth was founded as a school to educate the Indian tribes by the King in 1769. Along the way, they strayed from that mission to allow in whites. Dartmouth continues to have a great Native American studies program and gives many scholarships to Native Americans as per the original college charter.
The School's seal depicts a simple building, with Indians reading from books, and the light of knowledge shining down from the cloudy New England Sky.

Their motto: Vox Clamantis in Deserto is taken from the gospels and the description of John the Baptist as a "Voice alone in the Wilderness".

Congrats on the Dartmouth Indians on their Victory over the Harvard Crimson last Saturday.

Delash.....


what happened to the Jacko? It was huge the year before I got there and my freshman year (98) but it was rarely heard from since.

Are they still around? Because they need to get it into gear. Few are more caustic and sarcastic than the Men and Women of Dartmouth.
for non Dartmouth people: The jacko is a humor mag, which was very witty and could be compared with the Harvard lampoon if you had to compare it to something.

I'd like to consider myself an educated and informed individual but I'd have had no clue what "anthropomorphic" meant without looking at Merriam Webster.

and in other news Dartmouth students drink way too damn much. Still no cure for cancer.

Its such a pity, as the Vermont nug foliage can be so beautiful this time of year.

Hell, I met Keggy in 1986 at the University of Illinois. Old news. Much more fun than Chief Illiniwek.

thought I was seeing things when the keg said, "hi!"

Did anyone else think of Alice Cooper's monologue about Milwaukee in Wayne's World when F. Scott Fitzpanarchy went into Dartmouth's history?

my school should have had a bong for a mascot.

Yeah we had kind of the same thing at my school.

I went to Beaver College, our mascot was the Scarlet Knights. Needless to say the only mascot I ever saw wasn't wearing armor, but rather a big waffle tail.

Keggy is infinitely better than the icon of sucktitude, the Blue Devil.

Oh Keggy. Mascot, inspiration, beerpong partner...yes. The administration will probably kill him off sooner or later, but at least I got to play pong with him in a frat basement once.

Keggy will live on. As will his legacy. And all he stands for.

Disclaimer: if this post is incoherent, attribute it to 4 games of beer pong tonight. Also, you have no idea how long it takes to type coherently after 4 games. Ugh.


...also: F Scott: (Fitz the Zete bro? You're on Fark?) the jacko's still around, just not publishing all that often. They did a literary mag parody in the spring and a Cosmo parody this fall...

How long until one of their Ivy League counterparts introduces Pumpy The Keg Pump? Or Mimi the MIP?

I nearly spit out my beverage on the screen after reading that one!

And it is pronounced Mille-waukay!

Dude -- Nick Duquette '04 (said Nic in the article, but I knew him as Nick) went to high school with me. Hell, he dated my best friend for awhile. Funny kid. To those of you who don't get it, Dartmouth got rid of its Indian mascot 'cause of political correct bullshiat but never bothered coming up with a replacement. So, Nick's idea was apparently to come up w/ a mascot that represented the only activity to occur in Hangover, NH. Oh and yeah, the Jacko's still around -- he runs it now.

No, not a Zete, although I did enjoy their weekly tails before they got banninated. Look at the last 3 sylables of my screenname and that was my house, that lovely mansion at 9 school street. I was a PhiDelt too before WE got banninated over four or five of our brotherhood trying to burn down Chi Gam. (no, Im not joking-for all you non Dartmouth farkers out there).

I must ask the question, shrub or Tree? By the time I graduated, most everyone had downsized to the shrub, which made me miss the Dartmouth of old. Tree is best, unless you are a fan of ship, which I never was, because of my house.

The best game of pong I ever played was a re-inactment of the 3 days of Gettysburg with cups. The south rewrote history with a defeat of Pickett's bayonet charge on day 3.

I think 3-4 games of tree was the perfect amount of beer drinking in a night for me (Im a bigger guy). The only problem is you stay on when you win and you tend to get better midway through game 2 for some reason.

Ahh...College. I might be up for Commencement this year. The last of my friends (the '04s) are leaving the college on the hill.

Dear old Dartmouth, give a rouse
For the College on a hill

Indians, Big Green, Moose, Lorax (that was our time) and now Keggy. Whatever it will be, we all still love the school.

Harvard- cuz not everyone can get into Dartmouth.

Feh, the Indian mascot was better.

Once upon a time, they would even pay full tuition for Indians, simply to have a mascot on campus all the time.
