Southern Illinois University - Carbondale Salukis. Brown Dawg and Grey Dawg. The first teams during the 1913–14 school year, were called the "Maroons." Students and faculty began lobbying for a new mascot during the late 1940s. In 1951, students voted to change the official nickname to the Salukis. The saluki, the royal dog of ancient Egypt, was chosen as the mascot due to its reputation as a fast and tenacious hunter and because the southern Illinois region is known as "Little Egypt."
