I'm really happy we finally have a live mascot again, but I'm still amazed how some refuse to acknowledge how poorly Tech handled this whole situation. As usual, Tech gave us more questions than...

One year later, our president has finally issued a coherent response saying he will have an update "soon."

Shelby, I will be communicating about progress on...

Yet you cared enough to read and post in this thread. ;)

Another strange response from Guice...

When asked about Tech's live mascot program, our president has responded "Woof" and "Martians??"

Our leader doesn't seem to care about this tradition. Sad.

Seriously, folks. It doesn't take Yale money to get a bulldog. All it takes is a little effort, which apparently those in charge at Tech don't have.

Vet visit expenses are BS. Dr. Sexton provides those services pro bono, or at least used to.

What have they been doing the last 11 months?

An official student group? Shouldn't keeping the history of our mascot be the job of the university? Sad that the university does not respect this great tradition.

It's National Dog Day, and we still don't have a live bulldog mascot. :(

330 days and counting without a live mascot...

Bingo. The problem is not the breed. The problem is with Tech.

We got him as a puppy.

The reason for his retirement was never made public. All we got was a vague facebook message posted on the University's facebook account last Fall. Not a word since except...

Our brand is the English bulldog, and I wouldn't want an American bulldog anyway near kids. And that still wouldn't solve the problem of the University not properly running a live mascot program.

The problem is with the University, not the bulldog. In my post above I listed 11 over DI universities who run live English bulldog mascot programs without many of the issues we are having.

Because our University has done a very poor job in honoring the tradition.

Georgia and Butler have received a lot of great pub with their live bulldog mascots, and our tradition goes back much...

What wasted resources? The live mascot program is (or at least used to be) funded and run by the SGA.

Fans, especially children, love the live bulldog.

And the live mascot program is one of the...

It's National Mascot Day... Where is Tech XXII?

It's National Puppy Day... Where is Tech XXII? They said they would start on this 4 months ago. We haven't heard a peep about the search for Tech XXII since October 11.

That's what this sounds like to me. Another cover up.

If what the press release says is true, it confirms that Tech runs the worst live mascot program in the United States. How incompetent do you...
