In the passionate community of Houston Cougar fans, we proudly chant "Go Coogs," not "Go Cougs." This isn't just a catchy phrase; it is part of our identity and sets us apart from other teams like the BYU Cougars. Our chant embodies the spirit and uniqueness of our fan base and our beloved university.

The current mascot name, "Cougars," feels generic and closely associated with other teams, diluting our distinctive joy and culture. The change to "The Houston Coogars" will not only preserve our unique style but also enhance our community spirit and freshman introductions, where the power of "Go Coogs" resonates across the university. By officially aligning our mascot's name with how we already identify ourselves, we take pride in our individuality and keep our traditions alive.

Making this change is not just about a name; it is about embracing what makes us unique and different from other institutions. Every chant, every game, and every victory will be ours to enjoy with a name that truly reflects our community.

We call on the university leadership to officially change our mascot's name to "The Houston Coogars." Honor our chants and let them resound authentically with a name befitting the Houston spirit. Join us and sign the petition to preserve the tradition that celebrates who we are. Let your voice echo along with ours to make "Coogars" officially a part of our identity.
