After a football game in 1921, a reporter wrote that Gonzaga fought tenaciously like bulldogs. Thus, that description became the new mascot. Over the years, Gonzaga has had numerous live bulldogs as mascots.[2] Human mascots replaced live dogs in 1980 when a Gonzaga student, Mike Griffin, wore a cape and called himself "Captain Zag." He remained the Gonzaga mascot from 1980 until 1982. A few more students donned the Captain Zag uniform before a bulldog mascot returned in 1985. Spike was named by Craig Evans a 6 year old of the assistant basketball coach Bill Evans. Lee Mauney, a student from Hatchie Bottom, Mississippi, introduced the Gonzaga crowd to the first costumed bulldog mascot in 1985. He held the role from 1985-88.[3] Spike has become synonymous with Gonzaga Athletics. In 2000, Spike rose to national prominence when he was among a group of mascots that appeared in Nike's "Welcome to Bracketville" promotional commercials for the NCAA Tournament.[4] References1. ^http://www.gonzaga.edu/athletics/Cheerleading/Spike.asp {{Gonzaga Bulldogs men's basketball navbox}}{{Gonzaga Bulldogs women's basketball navbox}}{{Gonzaga University}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Spike the Bulldog}}{{mascot-stub}}{{Washington-sport-stub}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.gozags.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205176049 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2014-07-29 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402140533/http://www.gozags.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205176049 |archivedate=2015-04-02 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.gozags.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205176049 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2014-07-29 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402140533/http://www.gozags.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205176049 |archivedate=2015-04-02 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.gozags.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205176049 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2014-07-29 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402140533/http://www.gozags.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205176049 |archivedate=2015-04-02 |df= }} 2 : College mascots in the United States|Gonzaga University |
