Has some pics of the old bison mascot costume - which I would not wish on an enemy

A guy in candy-stripes, a block I shirt and an airy cool bison head would be fine.

Live one? No thanks - these boys get crazy:

Don't care about the flames, just so long as he has horns to gore Purdue Pete and
that buckeye.

He'll kick Purdue Pete into the stands when Pete starts fondling his sack.

Give me a live Bison or give me death. And if one follows the other, shrug emoji. Are we not entertained?

Me too. I want the real thing. If we're going to do it, let's go all the way.

Yes. Start him as a baby so he grows up used to it.

I’m all in.
My parents had IU memorabilia all over the basement and the bison image was on many of them. Posters. Game day programs. Going back to the 60s.
Agree to disagree but always thought that not having a mascot was a school that was out of touch. Others said it made us unique.

In the current conference format, I’m trying to think of what teams don’t have a mascot at their football games.

• IU
• Illinois - was too offensive to honor an Indian chief apparently
• Michigan - actually has no official mascot. The fans endorse the wolverine and there were petitions to make it an official mascot but the university denied all these attempts and deemed it “beneath” the university to officially claim a mascot.

I think that’s it. 3 of the 18 teams with no mascots in attendance at games.

I love recycled ideas that failed the first time. It's a true sign of a genius.

The bison will be back this season in full force. 1001% guarantee.

Here's a 2022 IDS article covering the history of the Bison Mascot here at INDIANA:

COLUMN: The case for IU to bring back the bison mascot

The bison mascot lasted from 1965-1969, Indiana’s most successful mascot attempt.

Hopefully we'll get it right this time.

My avatar believes it can and should be done...

I bought my Bison shirt; it is too bad I can't go to games anymore. I will have it on when watching the game.

Ahh…touché.

But maybe the idea wasn’t the problem but the people in charge of carrying it out?
You do it right, it could be cool.
