The Ole Miss mascot is disgraceful. Colonel Reb will always be the real one.

Miss Rev lives indoors in a dorm. Take that Mike and your $3M cage.

I do follow you on twitter though

I agree. Mike should be turned loose inside a dorm at LSU. And then another one. And another one...

Whats with the Auburn tiger having Anime eyes?

There is rape in that Ole Miss mascots eyes. Pure, unfiltered rape.

Those eagles are badass. But pretty much, if you go with Tigers or bulldogs, you'll have about a 50/50 chance of getting your next conference opponent right. Not much creativity among our new brethren.

LSU's Tiger is the original of all SEC Tigers. Louisiana Troops in the Civil War were called Fighting Tigers. The rest are posers. Just so you know.

Hmmm...dorm room versus $3 million luxury habitat with waterfall and other amenities. Decisions, decisions...

Does anyone remeber "High Five"? A very short term experiment by our own athletic department at a costume mascot. Late 90's or early 2000's

Is Mizzou in Nazi Germany?!?

I remember several years ago there was a fake email going around that Bama was getting a real African elephant to parade out on the field like the buffalo tha Colorado has. The mail even had a link to a fake newspaper article. It had a bunch of people fooled. I couldn't believe that people actually believed that the university would risk the lives of the people in the stadium if the elephant ever went on a rampage. But it had a lot of people fooled.

Here is a link to the article which is on the left hand column of the fake article: http://82west.com

Now supposedly we have used live Asian elephants in the past in parades and pre-game events and such back in the 40s. Here is a link talking about it: http://mobile.rollbamaroll.com/2011/10/6/2430963/alabamas-homecoming-elephants

Bama hates Africans. Water is wet.

Any other breaking news?

Touche Rusty.

But the reason I distinguished between African and Asian elephants is because African Elephants really are far more aggressive than Asian elephants.

A&M has kid fans too. They'd love it,

I think that was where we were going with the Ol' Sarge mascot until our marketing department realized that a plush drill sergeant really wasn't a big seller.

Favorite non-A&M is Georgia's Uga. Great name, somewhat effective mascot costume, and the live animal is good for always good for a laugh when it's blazing hot out. My favorite image is Uga spread out on a 20lbs bag of ice.

Raptor I am interested in the year the photo of OL Sarge was taken any idea?

wait...why is bailor wearing an ole miss uni? ken starr trying to get a peek at some panties?

In all fairness, these are damn old schools here (we're the youngest save MSU) so when they chose these mascots (save Miss) there wasn't really much competition...

Florida, 1853
Georgia, 1785
Kentucky, 1865
Missouri, 1839
South Carolina, 1801
Tennessee, 1794
Vanderbilt, 1873
Alabama, 1831
Arkansas, 1871
Auburn, 1856
LSU, 1860
Mississipi State, 1878
Mississippi, 1848
Texas A&M, 1876

Who knew that Ole Miss' mascot is a PSU fan?

The day the bear was chosen as a mascot will go down as the most emBARREssing day in Ole Miss athletic history. I know of NO ONE who thought this was a good idea...better no mascot than yogi...

Annie, off the SEC dick. No need to defend them. If they want to be defended they can come join the board

Tiger fan, Oh it's a habitat eh? Just like his native habitat I'm sure. With the Live oak tree, Italianate tower, a campanile, that creates a visual bridge to the Italianate architectural vernacular that is the underpinning of the image of the entire beautiful LSU campus. Sounds just like the jungle to me. And the original was bought from the Little Rock zoo! Classic. I'm a little disappointed because I thought Mike was hard and that scared me. With him all living plush I realize he's just a big *****.
Also the Razorback was not the initial mascot of the University of Arkansas. It was in fact the cardinal. Good move.

According to the folklore, we were re-named the Razorbacks after a victory over LSU in 1909 or so. We apparently played more like wild hogs than chirpy songbirds.

Why the heck does Auburn have three mascots? Just wonderin...

Maybe for the first 2 years but after that you'll be our BI**H!

Well I hope you used your other four posts wisely fish cause that one was a waste. If you can't answer that question then bring something useful or move along.

He is correct:

quote:

The University of Arkansas mascot has not always been the Razorbacks. From 1894, when the football program began, until 1910, the official mascot was the Cardinals to complement the school color of cardinal red. In 1909, according to school lore, the head football coach Hugo Bezdek gave a speech to a large group of students at the Fayetteville train station after returning from a victory over LSU in 1909 during an undefeated season. Coach Bezdek informed the crowd that his team had performed "like a wild band of Razorback hogs." Although students had begun referring to the team as the Razorbacks as early as 1907, Bezdek's statement popularized the use of Razorback for the team. The Razorback, which is characterized by a ridged back and tenacious wild fighting ability, had long been associated with the backwoods of Arkansas. The students loved the comparison, and the nickname became increasingly popular. In 1910, the student body voted to change the official university mascot from the Cardinal to the Razorback.


"Calling the Hogs"

Fans of the University of Arkansas have been "Calling the Hogs" since the 1920s. This tradition, which refers to the school's most popular cheer at sporting events, is said to have begun when a group of farmers attending a game began issuing hog calls to encourage a lagging Razorback football team. The encouragement worked and the attending crowd took notice of the farmers' calling. By the next game, a group of men had organized to cry "Wooo, Pig, Sooie". The call has since become the school's best-known cheer.
