OT: USF Bringing Live Bull to Game, Will Consider Permanent Live Mascot

Question: who’s gonna clean up the Bull $hit when the games over, no matter where?

Update as of 2025 is over 10 billion now.

As I have aged, my stance on zoos has changed. The current Houston Zoo Shasta enclosure makes me sad. The campus Shasta cage was on campus when I was in school, it was empty, but it was so sad.

Team no live animal.

Baylor has it’s bear.
LSU has a live tiger they bring around the stadium pregame.
Memphis has a live tiger they bring around the stadium pregame.
Cincy had live bearcat (binturong) when I was there last, but don’t know if they still do.
Auburn has an eagle.
Georgia has a bulldog.
UT has a longhorn steer.
Colorado has a buffalo.
There are more, need I go on?

I want our live Cougar back at the games. Heck, my high school had a live wildcat.

What exactly is a “wild cat?” And my high school was the falcons but I guess having a live falcon was too expensive.

LSU hasn’t brought the tiger around the stadium in probably 20 years at this point.

Memphis sunset theirs in 2020.

I don’t think you can compare those two animals to a cougar.

I remember when Bevo tried to kill little Uga.

I posted wildcat not wild cat. But to answer your specific question, I would think a wild cat would just be a feral cat.

A wildcat is usually referred to the same thing as a bobcat, but technically the European Wildcat and African Wildcat are the two unique species.

In America, the wildcat species include:

  • Bobcat (Lynx rufus)

  • Canada Lynx (Puscinna canadensis)

  • Puma (Puma concolor), also known as the mountain lion or cougar

  • Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis)

  • Jaguar (Panthera onca)

Ok so it’s basically a bobcat then. Although I can see why wildcat was chosen, it does “pop” a little more so to speak.

Well that’s a bummer, I just remembered LSU still brought Mike the Tiger around the stadium the 3 times we played them in the late 90s. But LSU still has a live tiger mascot across from Tiger Stadium in an elaborate caged eco system.

I cheered for UGA
