So rarely do I read sports stories, but LIFE Magazine posted an article about creepy college mascots. Personally, macots that are supposed to look like real humans (ie. Purdue) could be classified as creepy. Along with these other examples from the article:
 |
| University of Louisiana at Lafayette's Ragin ' Cajun |
 |
| Pepperdine's Willie the Wave |
But Bucky? Bucky is not creepy! The article descibes him as creepy because he looks like he's up to no good... he always appears to be plotting. That's why we love him! Are you with me people?

| University of Wisconsin's Bucky Badger |

ReplyDeleteAnd that, in a nutshell, is exactly what's wrong with Wisconsinites.
