Gotta admit….I do like that design and really like the script logo at midfield. Would love to see that be the design.

They could lower her down from the field goal whenever opposing team is trying to kick lol
Gotta admit I've been pretty blah about either block or script Indiana but that script in the middle of the field is classy.
Who the hell on here knows Dolson. I don't know what <20> bloggers with a few thoughts would mean to him but I'm guessing he might have 15 spare minutes. Maybe?
Jump ball!
If Her name is "Candy Cane" then I'm all for finding her a prominent position coordinating the game day festivities... 😎How about candy canes?
For those not fond of "Candy Stripes" on the field, try thinking of them as "The Red and White Bars." If you have 13 of them (like in the concept posted earlier with the script "Indiana"), you could consider them an homage to the US flag. You could even consider honoring the offensive and defensive players of each game with a photo op in the category of "Stars and Bars."
Let's pay homage to them by putting them on the Red Steppers and leave it at that...😎
Maybe on the Red Steppers' boots . . . but not on their bootay.
Speaking of the Red Steppers..., they'll need to up their game too with all those west coast girls now in the Big Ten mix...
Our women have always been competitively hot but we may need to tweek their uniforms to stay on top...
It's a travesty to have the fine candy stripe tradition associated with a team that doesn't contend.
So if this year isn't right there fighting for the B1G, it needs to transfer to the football team.

They changed them last year or the year before and their dance routines are sluttier.
I think the gold standard are the UCLA Song Girls - sexy, but classy.
I just hope the band still plays “Sing, Sing ,Sing.” Everyone in the stands goes nuts for the 1936 big band era classic. Everyone, that is, who is 90 years old or older.
This year, the band will introduce such crowd pleasers as:
“Strike Up The Band (Here Comes A Sailor)” - 1900
“Down Upon The Suwanee River” - 1890
“Agrippina” - Handel’s hit 1710 song all the way from Venice, Italy.
I had hopes when they were hiring a new director, they would get one with more modern ideas to appeal to the crowds more. Unfortunately, they hired the same type of director as they always have.
OK. Doesn't UCLA have a similar group?
LOL They play Sing Sing Sing at the end of the post-game performance and at the end of basketball games.
It's called tradition. And the song is a classic. So shut your pie hole.
Maybe they can play Cardi B's WAP. Would you want that? What music would you play, maestro?
Mmmm….that’s a tough one.
If it’s a home loss, maybe The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”
A win might warrant”Rock You Like A Hurricane” by Scorpions.
I would be curious if they could pull off “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin? Maybe have the the Plant vocals done by the sax section?

Just so you know how much I like Sing Sing Sing, I've given instructions it be played at my funeral.
I figure if it's good enough for the football and basketball team to end on, it's good enough for me for the end.
It’s not a bad song. I kid about it.
It currently is, however, the most requested song in nursing homes nationally.
I got my bring back the bison t shirt today. I regret nothing.
I heard bad things about Sing Sing. It was supposed to be a tough prison.
Nice work. 😀
Forgot to add in the original workup: We also definitely need a tail...; which should be easy to obtain from one of the local Bison ranchs...
We'll also need something that will cover the athletic shoes that give the appearance of hooves... (maybe, once again, the real deal glued to the toe of a shoe with Bison hair covering the rest up to the ankle... (this might be the trickiest part of the costume to fabricate, may have to lose the rear (ground contact) hooves).
Add some slightly exaggerated muscles* beneath a Football jersey that has INDIANA in the nameplate area and the IU interlock around at the throat with the oversized number 24 (for the year [for easy season reference in the future]...), front, back and atop each shoulder.
Then complete the outfit with khaki pants or white sweat pants with Football uniform tri-crimson stripes down each side, with crimson spates tying in the hooves to up under the pants...
*extra muscles -
//the hooves concept obviously needs work, may have to go with just white athletic shoes with some crimson spates tying them into the pants... The tail will add a enough realism to the bottom half of the outfit//

For whatever reason (probably due to an antique phone), I'm unable read nearly all the other than straight text links on here these days so if I don't respond that's why...
Plan to upgrade the phone sometime in the near future but until then I'm in the dark...
So I'm certain what Barney said was funny, I just can't bring it up...😞

Barney was practicing karate when Andy walked in. He explained that karate is based on animals and one of the animals he was imitating was a bull elk and his mighty cloven hooves.
A classic episode.
I hear ya.... I figure if it's good enough to be used as background music in a Looney Tunes cartoon then it's good enough for me, too!!
Ya got me ..... There is nothing that will strike more fear in BSU's opponents than a good ole Chirp Chirp chant... LOL!!
I completely disassociate myself from that one. It came along long after I left...

IU's trident is its only symbol. What happened to the goat, bison and eagle mascots?
A student described IU's last mascot as "the most asinine and ridiculous-looking character anyone could have dreamed up."
