If a college did not have a cross-country team running through the forest when a tree fell, would it still make a mascot?Fortunately, the Northeast Ohio Medical University has provided an answer to that age-old conundrum.Yes, it would.It would have a mascot even if it didn’t have a single athletic team.Not sure why, but that’s a yes.NEOMED, in Rootstown, is determined to join all of the other institutions of higher learning that boast weird, fuzzy creatures running around with people inside.The medical school formerly known as NEOUCOM is soliciting suggestions — and, boy, won’t this be fun?“How about a giant rubber glove?” piped up one newsroom wag when he heard about the contest.I’m going with Tony the Tongue Depressor.You may be wondering, as I was, what a mascot would do if a mascot didn’t have any athletic events to mascot at.Wonder no more.
