[edit] Oski, and liquids....

Oski has been put on a restricted intake, as he sometimes has gotten drunk and behavied inappropriately. I'll try to find some references for it. --Rocksanddirt 18:11, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge articles

I do not see any compelling reason to keep two very short articles pertaining to the same subject, so I propose to merge The Oski Yell into this article. Cgingold 21:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I would argue no, due to the fact that there are other teams that use the Oski Yell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.130.173.37 (talk) 19:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd agree, the one article could easily cover both topics. Merge. 75.61.131.170 17:26, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

The articles should not be merged. The Oski Yell article seems to have expanded to cover more than just the Berkeley version, and as such it would be impossible to cover both Berkeley's Mascot and a yell that is apparently not unique to Berkeley, in the same article. --Falcorian (talk) 22:20, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

with a wee bit of oringinal research (crawling out of my memory) the yell and oski are not really related. up until the 40's they used a live bear as a mascot. The yell dates from much earlier. so I would say keep them separate. --Rocksanddirt 23:55, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
