"When Chief Osceola first planted his spear in the turf at Florida State's Doak Campbell Stadium, Sept. 16, 1978, the opponent was the Oklahoma State Cowboys. You can look it up.

Osceola rides again Saturday night, and this time the Sooners will be in the house, and it remains quite the spectacle. As cool-looking mascots go, Osceola is hard to beat. The Seminole tribal dress. The war paint. The spear. Renegade, the spotted Appaloosa.

But not all Seminoles will feel pride. David Narcomey will be disgusted. He has referred to Osceola as a “minstrel show.”

“Absolutely haven't changed my stance one bit,” said Narcomey, who in 2005 condemned the NCAA's approval of Florida State's use of the Seminole name and Osceola mascot."
