Death to the Horse Pigs

[legelegel]

The uo sooners have always had a problem with mascots and it continues with the horse pigs.

There is some more discussion on other mascots at the link including a certain sheep dog and a man with a gun.;)

I got to hand it the Aggies. As far as I know they don't have anybody dressed up in some sissified suit parading around doing backflips. They have a real live dog as there mascot.. a collie named Reveille (http://aggietraditions.tamu.edu/reveille.shtml).


:gig: He's right there.

The Aggies treat Reveille like a queen. Quoting the A&M website: "Reveille is the most revered dog on campus. Company E-2 has the privilege of taking care of Reveille. If she is sleeping on a cadet's bed, that cadet must sleep on the floor. Cadets address Reveille as "Miss Rev, ma'am." If she is in class and barks while the professor is teaching, the class is to be immediately dismissed."

They also bury all of the deceased Reveille's outside of Kyle field and have erected scoreboards next to the dog's graves.. so the dead dogs can keep track of the game. Right.

I got an idea.. How about building a grave for the suits that the Horse Pigs wear?

:laugh: Sounds like a good idea.

I'm more inclined to think these two expressions are due to a recent encounter with the Wichita State Shocker.

uo mascots have been 'little red" (which was killed off by an eastern and politically correct president, many years ago), underdog, a wagon with two small horses and now the horse pigs.

I've never understood the whole notion of having a kid in a stuffed animal suit dance around the sidelines. Does anybody really pay attention to those guys?

[aggie1997]

I hope we never have a cartoon mascot on the sideline. Also never want to see one of those new blow up mascots at Kyle.
