I bet there was only one "Judges"! Brandeis represent!
Re: Indian mascots, there are many others like the Utes, the Chippewas, the Fighting Sioux, the Illini... the Seminoles, in fact, may be the only one of these that has official approval from the tribe they portray. Seminole leaders designed Chief Osceola's costume in its current incarnation, Seminole tribe members get special scholarships to FSU, and while some activists continue to criticize the Seminoles, there's not a lot to be done when the tribe itself is cool with it. Too bad they still suck at football. ;-)
(Any other Gators?)
I'm a fan of non-plural mascots like the Crimson Tide, the Thundering Herd, etc.
