I absolutely adore old, crudely drawn, sports logos.

It’s quite subtle

I like it

It it was LSU they’d “upgrade” it by changing the ears and slapping some gay arse corporate font on it

Vicious creatures, but some are LSU fans

Thanks for standing up for bostons. We havetwo who aretherapy dogs. They are very smart and affectionate.


I have 7 of them. They are my absolute favorite dog breed. No dog is more loyal than the American Gentleman. I used to be one of those “you got to have a big dog” people until I got my first Boston. I will ALWAYS own Boston Terriers now.

Greetings, Tiger fans. Just a little information about the Terriers.

The original Terrier nickname was taken from our 1909 baseball team who adopted a pit bull terrier during the season. Legend has it in one of the games the dog, Jack, chased down an opposing runner who was trying to score and the name stuck from there.

Decades later, the Boston Terrier you see now was adopted as the official mascot. I'm sure there were many ridiculous marketing reasons behind the decision but the official line is that Wofford is small and fierce like the Boston Terrier (1,600 students). The reality, in my opinion, is that a local alumni wanted to use his dog as the official mascot. That moved Wofford away from the open ended "Terrier" and into a Boston Terrier theme since 2003.

Looking forward to playing a storied program. We've had some mild success the last few years and games like this will help build the program, win or lose. My only wish is that it was at Alex Box. I've never been but maybe we'll get a series sometime soon.

Some older mascot logos if you're interested

I've had a number of dogs as pets. My Boston was the most intelligent one of them all. Incredibly smart animals.

I have one right now and have had several over the years. Wasabi is smart and hilarious, but also has "small man syndrome" when he's around larger dogs at the dog park. He went after the neck of a Rottweiler a few weeks ago that tried to mess with him. The Rottweiler owner now loves Wasabi for standing up for himself... on the other hand, my mutt Bruno is just so happy go lucky and nothing bothers him

You know what’s sad and 100% true that 98.925% of the people on this page ZOOMED in on the cheerleader, I know you did and the other 1.175% don’t know how to use the phone.

He's pretty big for a Boston. He resembles the original Breed and the most famous Boston of all
