    I'm crushed. Next thing I know you'll invite me over to roast marshmellows and sing camp songs with Fenves

    To be biologically correct, Ralphie at CU and Thunder at WTAMU are American Bison, not Buffaloes.

    Everyone is correct - it is the schools that are wrong:

    Contrary to the song “Home on the Range,” buffalo do not roam in the American West. Instead, they are indigenous to South Asia (water buffalo) and Africa (Cape buffalo), while bison are found in North America and parts of Europe. ... Bison are the hipsters of the two animals, sporting thick beards. Buffalo are beardless.​

    aggy of the west has an excuse - they are aggy after all; CU is supposed to be better than that.

    We need to get back to easy-picking, low-hanging aggy bashing fruit here soon, but...one more thing on mascots...
    I just dont get the anti-indian-as-a-mascot/theme thing.
    I have quite a bit of Indian in my bloodline and always thought it a tribute the the people and the culture to be "immortalized " with such acknowledgement. HELLO! Mascots are obviously chosen to be lifted up/exhalted/celebrated. By it's very nature, the act of letting something be the "banner" for your team/school/whatever is inherently complimentary.

    My ancestry is 2/3 Scandinavian and I have no issue with schools having Vikings as Mascots. (Although the horns on the helmets are historically inaccurate. But I’ll let that ride.)

    I’d say the Vikings (overall) didn’t face the same historical challenges as the various Native American tribes.

    That being said, your picture of the Illinois warrior looks historically accurate and seems to honor their tradition with a mascot. It seems like FSU has come to a good arrangement with the Seminole Nation, though I wouldn’t blame the Nation for having second thoughts for signing that treaty now based on the conduct of recent FSU stars.

    A bison is a distant relative of the American buffalo.

    Somehow, “Bison gal, would you come out tonight?” , doesn't sound right.

    That's funny...I was trying to bring us back with a good take yesterday, too, but couldn't get the gif to load.
    Thanks for bringing us back on subject: the subject of aggy futility and the comedic gift that keeps on giving. They will always have that. Maybe we can make a plaque recognizing this and they can place it in their "trophy case".
    :lmao:

    So about those Aglets having their DB gonads separated from their team by Herman, the Aglet Dream Pimple Popper, seems aTm still texting Alford but he is not replying.

    Is Jimbo dead in the water or just gasping for air?

    No conversation about ‘menacing’ mascots can be complete without mentioning the Corpse of cadet clown. The skinhead that waved his sword at the SMU cheerleader for dissin’ Revile. Does anybody have that pic?

    I had to laugh this morning while listening to VSIN and the discussion about the Arizona State game against Hawaii...they mentioned how Sumlin was one of the best coaches against the spread in August, September and October.

    Coincides perfectly with the aggy roller-coaster..

    That video is hilarious and epitomizes aggy

    Rattling their saber, making a bunch of noise, (over absolutely nothing at all) and then getting "sit down, son"ed and placed own their *** in humiliating public fashion.
