100% for this as long as it’s not some cartoonish version.
On my winding drive to Bloomington I used to pass a bison farm somewhere in Indiana. Is that the connection. Indiana bison farms? It doesn’t seem like anything most people would connect with Indiana.
I can’t remember. I’d get off at some exit just after terre haute and it was winding roads for 45 minutes from the exit to Bloomington. Real pretty drive. Somewhere in that 45 minutes was a bison farmRed Frazier (?) has one somewhere near Bloomington... There's another up near Ft Wayne and at least a couple of others (or more) around the state...
Wood Bison were indigenous to the state and so prolific that they hold The most prominent position on the Indiana State Seal...

During the State Bicentennial Celebration fiberglass renditions of small Bison were placed all across the state (link: https://www.in.gov/ibc/4555.htm )... Why we didn't snag a few of those to place around campus and the stadium still escapes me... If the mold is still out there I think they'd still make nice supplements to our actual mascot...
As far as having a Live Bison on site goes its just Far too dangerous for all involved...
They're wild animals with a mind of their own and unless you want a pathetic looking, skinny calf, running around out there like the fighting Sanders can barely control at Folsom Stadium in Colorado you'll have a recipe for disaster...
Even a majestic adult Bison in an enclosure is still asking for trouble because it's pretty much guaranteed that some drunk/idiot would eventually climb inside and get themselves maimed or worse... Adult male Bison weigh in around 2,000 pounds and no 3 or 4 freshman volunteers are going to be able to control one...
I'm all for the Bison as our mascot (as long as the newest rendition actually looks like a real Bison and not some cheesy cartoon character...)
Guess we'll know soon...
Hopefully Scott Dolson has made another great decision with this...
I can't wait to see the end result...

That’s awesome!
He was the most embarrassing thing ever. But it was funny watching the students boo and harass him. Then remember the one with overalls and a pipe or hay sticking out of his mouth? We do NOT have a good record with these mascots. Let’s see if it really is the New Indiana.

Red Frazier Bison - Indiana Bison Meat
Red Frazier Bison specializes in bison burger, bison meats, buffalo meat in Indiana. Our bison meat is 100% certified natural and healthy.
There are several others around the state...
There's this one near Floyds Knobs :
A Healthier Red Meat choice from a Local farm
It looks like there's several in the northern upper third of the state... Which means by having a Bison mascot we're basically planting an IU flag all across the state..., including up north... I Like It... 😎

So is an axe, so is a woodsman, so are trees, so are hills that resemble green tits. I'd prefer a mascot composed of large green tits.
Hoping for a manga version, myself.
That looks like a cartoon version of a serial pederast.
Isn't that what Brad said?Looks like the love child of purdoo pete and the nebby mascot.
If she's the mascot, I've changed my mind, I'm all for it.
Was just going to post that.
Just. Need. To. Make. It. Four. More. Months.
