Gotta say, I'm kinda out on the bison thing. Will re-assess when I see it in action and what all they do with it. No questions at this time.

IU is going to repopulate the entire state with Bisons.

I missed the announcement about our 13th scholarship.  What's our new rim protector's name?

There's Buffalo at the State Park in Bluffton.  That's as close as I can get to a Bison farm.

I bet the Bison would kick Pete's (Purdue) a$$.

Beware the Bison! #dangerous

(is a bison the same as a water buffalo?)

Well, that’s pretty hideous. 
But it does suggest the question: if you’re gonna have a bison mascot isn’t the clear next step with that creating videos for the home games of a bison just trampling the living F out of Day or Bielema or whomever the visiting HC is to be playing on the video screen as you’re taking the field? This just feels obvious to me.

The bison may need a few tries to trample Bret.

Bison doesn’t really fit as an iubb mascot, imo, but we’re a football school now and it’s a perfect fit for Coach Cig.

I’m on record loving it unless they make it stooopid. It’s fun.  It’s just a mascot.  Let’s have some fun with it.

While I am excited for this football team and Coach Cig, I just can't get excited about a mascot for Indiana University being a bison.  It is a different situation than the last time they trotted a bison out onto the football field...I realize.

I'm holding my breath about a bison going across a basketball court. 

Coach DeVries and the basketball team may need some help getting over that 'hump'.

There's plenty of videos of tourists getting trampled by bison in Yellowstone, it should be easy enough to take one of those and paste the opposing coach's face on the Darwin Award recipient.

I heard that Coach Allen was asked by the AD if he had any recommendations for IU athletics on his departure.

All Allen said was: "Bye son."

 

I heard that from Cow Patty.  She was only a horseman's daughter.  But all the '"cowmen knew 'er'.

ESPN did an article on our bison mascot.  It's good.

It's nice when ESPN actually does sports journalism.

If I remember correctly…. What happened to that big fat Hoosier face with a garbage can sized cowboy like hat?  Was that a mascot or something else masquerading as a mascot or just a friendly Hoosier?….thinking 1970’s
