The older version of Rowdy.
Rowdy the Roadrunner is the mascot of the University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners, appearing as a supporter of athletics and other university sponsored events. The roadrunner was adopted as the official mascot in 1977 as a write-in option. If students had not shown their support for the roadrunner, UTSA's mascot would have been the armadillo.[1] [2] Rowdy is based upon the Greater Roadrunner.
On March 1, 2008, UTSA unveiled the new Rowdy and UTSA logos at the homecoming men's basketball game vs. Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi. Many students and administrators at UTSA thought the elder Rowdy looked too much like the Kansas Jayhawk.[3]
