Tamanend is sometimes referred to as the "God of 2.0," the passing grade point average at the Academy. Midshipmen toss pennies at the quiver on Tamanend's back for good luck during their exam periods and Army-Navy competitions.
9th company is responsible for spirit boards to be painted and displayed around Tamanend's base before major events and home games (e.g. for Parents' Weekend in August, Homecoming in the fall, before Army-Navy contests, and for Commissioning Week in May).
