Btw, I wondered what a Jasper was....so I looked it up and found this link from last March where the Jaspers were named the most outdated mascot!

Most Outdated Mascot: The Manhattan Jaspers. The Jaspers were named after Brother Jasper, a Christian clergyman from the 1880s who brought sports to the college. My father, who went to rival Fordham University in the Bronx, recollected that the most effective chant the Fordham student section had to shut up the Manhattan students was “What the hell is a Jasper?”
Apart from the lengthy historical explanations shouted across the court, Manhattan students had nothing.
