Bison

[abraxis]

Bison burgers taste gooood.....

Who wouldn't want to eat marinated bison "balls" at a tailgate? Sell 'em hot in the stadium, two to a sac, packed as six in a handheld carton with 2 kinds of buffalo sauce, spicy/sweet. Watch the line come stampeding.

Let's get creative. Something like this but a Bison in the stadium.

I believe Pete Schweddy's company can supply IU concessions with Bison Balls. People can't resist his Schweddy balls.

I think most of the habitual posters are geezers. They post on every thread, at all hours of the day and night. Who but a geezer has the time and insomnia to do that?

Name the mascot "Hep" to appease the family if we must. A portable stairs could be pulled up so fans can have their photo taken atop the mighty beast. When the players run out of the tunnel they give a glancing touch to "Hep's" pendulous nut-sac, one line for the right, the other line for the lower hanging left.

Helmet sticker my friend...that'll do donkey!

A live buffalo would be high maintenance, not ending well.

South-central IN has a plethora of skilled stone cutters eager to work. Put 'em to good use in demonstration of our local culture. Bring back the charging buffalo herd on the Jumbotron. Run with the bulls through the town and into Memorial Stadium. Play on the PA a recording of loud snorts and buffalo grunts when it's time for the defense to dig in on third down, or after a win, play stampeding rumble or whatever sounds bison make when excited and eager to get laid. Make it so opposing teams hate to play in IU's wild Buffalo Corral. Sell horned buffalo hats with the sportswear. Get the kids involved for a rip-snort'n good time...kids of ALL ages, yes, even the fun-loving old geezers on compressed oxygen.

High maintenance? Yes. But the bison has a low buyout and we don't have to worry about some other school poaching our bison if we have a good season.

And it only ends badly if you let it end. When Bobby Bison dies, serve burgers and call Bobby Bison Jr. up to the big leagues.

Ditch The Rock and replace it with a Monroe Co limestone block, carved by local artisans into a larger than life size bison/buffalo, resting on a red and white stripped base. Name the mascot "Hep" to appease the family if we must. A portable stairs could be pulled up so fans can have their photo taken atop the mighty beast. When the players run out of the tunnel they give a glancing touch to "Hep's" pendulous nut-sac, one line for the right, the other line for the lower hanging left. Not only does this expedite the player's movement, avoiding bottlenecked backlog, but it offers good luck to the team, usually needing it. It could be the start of a new Hoosier tradition, unlike anything Colorado might have devised. Come on Hoosiers, let's go make some noise! The video would go viral and make the college football world stand up and take notice. Dare to be different!

I'm dying here..... touching the nut-sac as they go out on the field. Absolute genius!

I'm sensing a theme......

Maybe the bison could be trained to chase down the students leaving at halftime and force them back into the stadium?

Great idea!!! IU could market them and sell them at the local groceries....sell 'em packaged and frozen... you can find them in the freezer case right next to the ... Rocky Mountain Oysters!...

Am I the only one getting a little uncomfortable discussing animal testicles?

You.... and probably the animals...

This is what happens when we don’t have a bowl game to talk about.

Get with the times - they're not bearded anymore.

You mean to tell me the one-eyed trouser mouse no longer has a fur collar?

 

[lorenaimee]

Looks to me like it’s only the geezers that want a bison mascot. It hasn’t worked in the past and it’s less likely to work now.

So what do you youngsters suggest? Loser Hoosiers? Time for a change. We need to change as much as we can about this program.

I am going to back Galen Clavio on this. Bring back the 🦬.

Buffalo are regular. Common. Plain.

Bison are special. Bad-ass.

And rhymin’ - “The Fightin’ Hoosier Bison”
