Other nicknames over the years have included the "Hilltoppers," for the school's location on a hill, and the "Saltine Warriors," for a former mascot.

The name derived from an article describing an archaeological dig on campus allegedly uncovering the artifacts of a Native American warrior.

In 1978, the Saltine Warrior was banned by the university as part of the national movement to eliminate Native American motifs, becoming one of the first colleges to do so.

The mascot briefly morphed into a Roman warrior, but was eventually replaced unofficially in 1982 by a giant, cartoon-style Orange.

Later that fall, word got out that the cheerleaders were calling the latest mascot costume Otto, and the name stuck.
