Spike the Bulldog is the mascot for the Gonzaga University Bulldogs, also known unofficially as the Zags.〔http://www.gonzaga.edu/athletics/Cheerleading/Spike.asp〕 ==History== In Gonzaga's early football history, the teams were called the "Blue and Whites" or "The Fighting Irish". 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.〔http://www.gozags.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205176049〕 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. 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.〔http://www.gozags.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205176049〕 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.〔http://www.gozags.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205176049〕
