Bring Back the Bison!!!
With the advances in costume design over the past 40 years, a workable Bison head atop a big guy with Bison enhanced arms should be doable (in my opinion)...
I'd love to see a couple of real ones grazing near the entries but in today's litigious society that will probably never happen... (some drunken moron would almost certainly end up climbing the fence and getting himself stomped and gored..., and then blame everyone but himself for his injuries..., and end up owning 2/3rds of the University because they hadn't built a 70 foot fence with pop up nets and a moat behind it)...
Not to put words in your mouth, but do you think Indiana Fans Are bigger drunken fools than Colorado Fans who have Ralphie a live Buffalo on the field every week, or Texas Fans who have Bevo the Long Horn, or LSU Fans who have Mike the Bengal Tiger. And OMG, I don't even want to know whether the Florida Gators have a live animal as their mascot and who handles and baby sits him during the game.Bring Back the Bison!!!

I remember Hoosier Pride. What a disaster. And embarrassing.

I liked those two big blow-up guys we had for a few years. Maybe in the 90s or early 2000s? At least they were kind of funny.
If I was going to pick a 'character' as a mascot, I might go with an Abe Lincoln type guy, since he spent his formative years in Indiana.
But I think a mascot is a lost cause. Forget it.
OK. I vote for a tall guy (on stilts) to be Hoosier Abe!If Fred was serious about being "more family friendly", a mascot would be a good place to start... Kids love them (unless they're creepy like Pedophile Pete)...

Nah. Spiece used to walk around Assembly Hall on stilts and nobody bothered him.See "drunken fool with a good lawyer"... The same guy would give Abe a shove...
Ever walked thru the tailgate area prior to kickoff?
I get it . Not only am a former Season Ticket Holder who has walked that walk a number of times, but I a am a semi-retired Attorney (Thank God Not a Reformed Ambulance Chaser). But you are right, as long as there is money at stake Someone will represent the interest of the least common denominator and argue that the behavior is the norm rather than the exception. At least in the South, stupid personal activity is proceeded by the Cry of "Hey Ye' All. watch This".

Don't be one of those guys who won't do anything because they're scared of a lawsuit.
Abe Lincoln would be good. It would piss off Illinois and Kentucky if we claimed him.I remember Hoosier Pride. What a disaster. And embarrassing.

Let’s not forget Butler’s rabid bulldog ready to bite some cheerleader’s tight ass at moments notice.Not to put words in your mouth, but do you think Indiana Fans Are bigger drunken fools than Colorado Fans who have Ralphie a live Buffalo on the field every week, or Texas Fans who have Bevo the Long Horn, or LSU Fans who have Mike the Bengal Tiger.

Abe Lincoln was too homely for a comparative IU mascot. He’d make Purdue Pete look like Don Juan in his prime. I say go with a live buffalo, but with horns painted, one cream, one crimson. See if they can custom make candy striped shorts for him. That might piss him off enough to get him running with more authority like he’s a tough guy, just like the football team he represents. Sell buffalo burgers in concessions with proceeds targeted for prairie grass feed pellets.I remember Hoosier Pride. What a disaster. And embarrassing.

So we could eat our own mascot?Abe Lincoln was too homely for a comparative IU mascot. He’d make Purdue Pete look like Don Juan in his prime.

Hoosier Abe it is then!Abe Lincoln would be good. It would piss off Illinois and Kentucky if we claimed him.

How about Abe riding a Buffalo?Abe Lincoln was too homely for a comparative IU mascot. He’d make Purdue Pete look like Don Juan in his prime.

Me. Hoosier Pride sucked. That was just prior to my Freshman year too.
Better stick with the inanimate objects like rocks,I remember Hoosier Pride. What a disaster. And embarrassing.

That choice would be a hard one.Better stick with the inanimate objects like rocks,
limestone of course. One could have a lot of fun
with that. Lets go dolomites.
This.Bring Back the Bison!!!

That guy looks like Kevin Bacon at a Delta Tau Chi party.The Fightin' Hoosier Bison
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight!
Might get confused with sodomites.Better stick with the inanimate objects like rocks,

The Nick's buffalo/bison guy should be our mascot.
Buffalo looking dude with a turtleneck.
Easy.
Diction is everything.Might get confused with sodomites.
The problem with that is it is too easy for your opponent to equate it to one of the favorite eligibility courses of all time. Introduction to Geology 101. Better known as " Rocks For Jocks".Better stick with the inanimate objects like rocks,
limestone of course. One could have a lot of fun

The Scarlett Knight has asked to sit the rest of season and will enter the portal. He might be available.Better to have no mascot than have mascot as bad as Creepy Pete.
“Bingo!”, we have a Bingo, folks. Collect your stuffed animal, sir, and patrons, clean those slates.How about Abe riding a Buffalo?
