So.... Is your mascot a Cat or a Buzzard?
And why do you need them both?
Understanding is part of the entrance exam. If you have to ask, you don’t deserve to know.
With all due respect, do you WATCH college sports? And do any of these idiotic sports announcers who refer to the Auburn "War Eagles" do any homework?
Everyone acts as if Auburn is strange to have a team name and mascot, the Tigers, and a cheer, War Eagle - which is backed up with a real Eagle.
What about Georgia Tech, with the Yellowjackets and the Ramblin' Wreck, the real Model T Ford that drives in parades and onto the football field?
Alabama's the Crimson Tide, yet their mascot is an elephant?
Tennessee is the Volunteers, yet they bring out a Blue Tick Hound?
Harvard is both the Crimson and the Johns.
Yale is the Bulldogs and the Eli.
Stanford is the Cardinal and a tree?
Western Kentucky is the Hilltoppers, yet the mascot is a big red muppet?
University of Miami is the Hurricanes, yet the mascot is Sebastian the Ibis?
University of Virginia is the Cavaliers and the Wahoos?
Give me a little while to think and I could probably come up with another ten or twenty, which suggests that there are probably twenty or more schools that I know nothing about which have two mascots or names for their teams.
Why single out Auburn?
And by the way, I'm a Longhorn, as well as a Crimson/John.
