Meet the Thundering Herd, a mascot that's all about power and spirit This tough-sounding name is associated with Marshall University in West Virginia, and it's quite the story. The term "Thundering Herd" was coined back in 1925 by a local sportswriter named Duke Ridgley, inspired by Zane Grey's novel of the same name. It stuck because it evoked the image of bison, which once roamed the Ohio Valley near the university. The mascot, Marco, is an anthropomorphic bison, meaning it's a bison with human-like traits, rocking the school's green and white colors ๐ก๏ธ. This mascot is all about strength and determination, making it a symbol of pride for the university community ๐. So, if you're looking for a mascot that's as fierce as it sounds, the Thundering Herd is definitely one to check out โก
