RIP Uga VI

You are a Bitter Old Bastard (screen name BOB???), and this board is better for it.

 

Which SEC schools don't have live mascots?

Are Alabama, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and South Carolina the only four? I'm assuming, of course, that Florida has a live gator somewhere down there.

 

Florida used to have a live gator, but the school has only had the costumed variety for several decades now.

 

Fixed.

 

Kentucky have a wildcat?

 

I think so.

EDIT: Just checked. Kentucky does have a bobcat that serves as its live mascot. It's kept in captivity because, according to the web site, bobcats don't respond well to large crowds. Apparently the school just got it, 'cause it's only 3 1/2 years old. UK has a female wildcat too, apparently.

 

That brings back memories.

When Smokey died a few years ago, I posted that you couldn't spell "put to sleep" without "UT", and boy, did I take all kinds of heat for that.

That's when I learned about the perspective-less devotion to SEC mascots.

 

"What's the story behind that dog?" ... "Well, fuck him."

 

“Well Eli, Smokey just came out of the tunnel, and he’s about 100 yards away from me now, and if I had my deer rifle I believe I could drop him. Back to you Eli.”

God bless Jerry Duncan.

 

Sorry, but I turn down no opportunity to take a shot at Mal-feasance. Ever.

 

Did you see that guestbook linked to the Loran Smith column is up to 75 pages?

 

Guest book for a fucking dog!

You fucking Georgians are beyond weird.
