    It took them two months!

    Yeah, we are dragging our feet on this. Yale and Miss State replaced their mascot recently in a very quick manner. It's been over 11 months and we have no mascot!



    Yale did go with a different breed, the Olde English Bulldogge.

    You got Yale money, cause I don't... this is like comparing a billionaire/1% to a middle class family.

    In 1980, during halftime, Miss State presented us (Tech) with a bulldog. The pup of their mascot, as I recall. I might be off a little on that, but seems that's what happened.

    I do know we lost the game 31-11. They were pretty good that year, 9-2 and went on to play Nebraska in the Sun Bowl.

    Yep, Yale's endowment is over $25 billion.

    We are talking about a dog. It doesn't take millions to get a dog.

    Just the "want to"

    Very disappointing.

    No Dawg but a Red T. geez.

    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.

    What if someone who owned a purebred bulldog showed up at the stadium with that dog on a leash? I can see them just walking through the tailgate area and in front of the stadium at pregame - how many pictures do you think will be taken?

    What if it were a thing to take your purebred bulldog to the Tech game? We could probably get a couple dozen running around.

    I've seen a few over the years. They are not a plentiful breed. I think a few of our BBB posters own one or more. Think about how much trouble it would be to take a dog to the game. Unless you live in Ruston it would be almost impossible.

    I would bring my Bulldog (we just adopted him) if I lived in Ruston.

    Plus early in the season the heat is brutal on us and its worse on a bulldog. Trying to keep mine cool at a tailgate/game would be a major pain. Besides Adelaide doesn't stray far from her designated spot, lol.

    I asked mine, too. She wasn't enthused. She said she'd rather watch the game from home in her chair with the AC cranked up.

    At least yours was cordial enough to respond, mine would just give me the F off look at turn back to the game

    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.
