I turned it on and said it better be fricking Ralphie or Mike. No other Mascot comes close.

That's fair. Ralphie is a bad bitch and she runs across that field like she out to kill something. Crammm!

I'll allow it.

What mental gymnastics did they have to jump through to give it to Colorado and not LSU? There is actually no such thing as an "American Buffalo". The only "true" Buffalo are in Africa. In North America they are called "Bison", so they even got the name wrong. And who the frick wants to look at a Buffalo? No one is crowding around to look at a hairy overgrown cow. A 450 pound Bengal tiger? That's a bit more pleasing to the eye. shite, I'm looking at him right now on the Tigercam. Magnificent beast.

frick that bison.

It's because that buffalo runs across the field out of control. It's insane.

If yall would still let the Tiger out of the cage, like you did in '02 when I was there (Holy shite!) this would be no contest

I'm 100% positive Mike could take down, and chow down, on Bevo.

Not so sure about Ralphe.

Are you talking about parading him on the field in pregame, or literally letting Mike out his cage? The latter did not happen in 02.

Yes it did. He was on a leash and he was momentarily let out of the cage, he reared up at the crowd and jumped around a few times and they let him back in. It was wild

I'll need video proof of this.


Huge lawsuit should he have eaten somebody or whatnot.

Well then look and find it. I didn't have a camera phone in 2002. There is no reason for me to make this up. I cant text a few people and get some witnesses. This was our first trip to BR and we all remember it well because it was a crazy moment

only because Ralphie gets to run out onto the field, while Mike does not. If Mike still rode around the field and roared like previous tigers, it would be no contest. But I'll settle for 2nd place as long as it's better for our bug guy.

Probably the fact that their mascot actually still goes out on the field if I had to guess?

I could see if they gave it to UGA or some lame shite

I went to the Colorado game in Athens about 10 years back. They brought Ralphie 1500 miles, kept her on the sideline and ran her up and down the field.

It was pretty awesome! She’s a beauty!
