Tech XX has Passed Away?!

[B.Y.O.C.B.]

The SGA is a total and complete JOKE, just like most other student organizations. Those who run are just trying to get something on their resume or start a political career. They needlessly spend thousands on stupid stuff like "clickers" to vote with instead of legitimately trying to represent the students and better the campus. I wouldn't expect much from them.

You are severely misinformed.

Our mascot shouldn't be boarded.

Right, what if the AC goes out at his clinic.

I'm with you and 009...
It's a sad sad day. The way to move forward is to honor XX and find XXI. We need a "mobile" habitat (like UGA's that was pictured earlier). That way it can come with him to away games for tailgating if not on the field. I see the house with AC on the back of a trailer with a ramp tailgate, turf, fire hydrant, all the necessities. We also need a dog. Surely there is a breeder out there with some good looking pups that are ready. It only takes $ and there are plenty of people on this board who can put their money where their mouth is! If we all kick in $100 it won't take long to get what we need.

I am an Architecture student at Tech, and we are always looking for community projects to get involved with. I am 99.999% sure that with proper funding we could build him a kick@$$ habitat!! I'm going to get in touch with some higher-ups in my department and see what we could do!

This is a fantastic idea, Bulldog009!! This tragedy will unite the TECH family as never before...just watch. Thank you!!

agree, never

Should we start some sort of donation fund, both to find Tech XXI then build him a proper "habitat"? I'm asking because when Tech XX was found, SGA had to raise funds, which they probably don't have time to do between now and the TAMU game. I think it would mean A LOT if we had Tech XXI at the TAMU game, both in memory of Tech XX and to continue on the legend!

I would expect the vet's insurance to pay for a new one. I would imagine he has some sort of policy for negligence and it would appear this is certainly the case. If they don't, I would expect a big donation from the business for sure.

My suggestion

Going with the Legend of the Bulldog story, I want us to select five students to be the mascot handlers. We should buy or build a house near campus for the students/mascot. We'll have a faculty member to be the head of this Mascot program. He/she will routinely check on the students and bulldog mascot.

See that's exactly what I'm thinking about! The Pope has the Pope-mobile, Tech XXI should have the Tech-mobile! I am getting very serious about this idea! Any help on ideas and funding if its approved would be a huge help! And if anybody has any idea of who I would need to talk to to get the ball rolling would be a big help as well!

Sounds like a pretty neat idea.

Spot on.

The story about this is all over the nation.

I understand that Dr Sexton didn't actually let the dog out; that it was an employee. Here's the problem wI have with not assigning any blame to Dr. Sexton. Would this person have been so negligent if they knew that letting Tech out was not accepted? There have been many reports, and I have seen myself firsthand, how they routienly let Tech wander out of the clinic with no supervision. In my opinion, people will act how they think you will allow them to act. Dr. Sexton obviously allowed this negligence to happen while he was there, so naturally those employed by him had no problem with following SOP when he was gone. He fostered this lackadasical environment, so is equally culpable in all but the cover up. In my opinion.
