New IU Mascot Contender: Howie Hoosier
Things are really gearing up for the football season at Indiana University, but the Hoosiers face yet another year without a recognizable mascot. Enter Howie Hoosier! Howie is a Buffalo with an attitude. Many people know that the state of Indiana sports a Buffalo on its state seal, and Howie is an IU branded Buffalo who is ready to rock for the Hoosiers!
...unless you rather stick with the Hillbilly that looks a lot like Herbie Husker?
Check Howie out and vote for him at HoosierMascot.org
Go Hoosiers!

Hm.
I dunno. There hasn’t been an in-the-wild buffalo in Indiana for, what… in the neighborhood to 150 years? You might as well use a sabertooth tiger as a mascot, amiright?
I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us. ~Walt Whitman
A sabertooth tiger. Now we are getting somewhere.
I have warmed to the idea of a bison mascot if done well.

I love me some buffalo
But he’s a bit too much Purdue-Pete-with-fur.
