I thought I should start this thread to help out our friends at SDSU. After hiring a consultant to upgrade the image of the Jackrabbit, ignoring the consultants recommendations and finally coming up with the new and better rabbit, they have no discovered the rabbit has no name. Please fire away with your suggestions and after we come up with a list of options I will be sure to forward the contents of this thread to the appropriate officials in Brookings.
My personal favorite is:
Susy Rabbit - indicates the reluctance to man up and play the Yotes in football and mens basketball

Great topic. I would say it's of upmost important to come up with a smelly name for the mascot to accurately convey the campus environment. So far I have only been able to come up with "roadkill" as the name but I need to start thinking more clearly.
Cow Patty the Jackrabbit would probably work out rather well since the rabbit when it's hoppying around campus can't help but get his feet stuck once in awhile. Cow Patty for the remnants constantly being stuck to his feet.
Susy Rabbit isn't bad either. Most Jackrabbits when facing adversity will always try to run and hide but most end up running around in circles until they are run over and plastered to the road. If you watch the Coyote intro video for their football games you can tell that the pack of Yotes is looking for rabbits but despite being in South Dakota there are never any to be found. I think they are cowering somewhere around Coughlin Alumni stadium knowing that the Coyotes are on the prowl all over the state of South Dakota. The Yotes are basically looking at anything that moves and trying to sink their teeth into anything and everything. I can certainly understand the behavior of the cowering rabbit in those circumstances. The other rodents (the gophers) found out what happens when ya mess with the menacing Coyote.
Luckily the state of South Dakota has several Coyotes to rid the state of the annoying rabbits which their main purpose is to provide coating for our streets and highways.
Other names
Cowardly the Rabbit
Cowering the Rabbit
Squishy the Rabbit
Avoider Rabbit
Raggedy Rabbit
Barbequed the Rabbit
Yippy the Rabbit

They want it to be gender neutral, so how about Pat or maybe Chris?

Historical significance, gender neutral but creativity is important. Hmm, that makes it a little more difficult.
How about "Neutered the Rabbit". I guess after the rabbit is neutured it would then be gender neutral. Plus it would help Bob Barker control the pet population, so it sets a good example for children. Historical because lots of neutering goes on at the sheep barn on campus, I'm sure. Not to mention all the times Jacks teams have gone up against the Coyotes only to feel like they had been "neutered".
How about Newt for short?
Susy the Rabbit is inappropriate and has been deemed hostile and abusive by the NCAA. Just ask the UND Fighting Sue.
Why don't they just hand us the gun with the ammo? This is going to be too much fun coming up with a name for the Bunnies. Best of all COYOTE FANS get the chance to help them choose the name as it is an online poll. Talk about letting the Dems vote in the Repubs primaries. Jeesh.
