Ralphie the Buffalo wins it for me. However, if Michigan had a real wolverine or Wisconsin had a real badger, that'd win as well. Maybe a wolverine vs. badger pregame fight?

Florida needs a real gator.

Arkansas' Russian Boar, Tusk, is pretty cool. They need to run Tusk like Colorado does Ralphie.

There's nothing like that Eagle flying around the stadium at Auburn. Forget that it's Auburn...that's America and all good that it stands for....
I love watching that...BUT..if we EVER get a real elephant....look out!

Having a live tiger at LSU is really cool and that cat has a sweet space. He also has great care around the clock. Can't beat cancer though. Hopefully we will get a new one.

Dub, I do love the eagles, but the mass confusion between tigers, plainsmen and war eagle - it's just too much! Btw, my wife's brother is the black sheep of the fam, he graduated from AU!

For me, it's a tie between Nova (War Eagle VII), our golden eagle and Spirit, our bald eagle. Nothing cooler than a raptor with a 7 foot wingspan flying around above your head pregame./QUOTE]

It is cool, but it isn't unique to au as I've seen it at other places. I'm still waiting for the day when the bird says "the heck with this," circles the stadium a time or two, and flies off into the sunset.

While we all care nothing for UTK, Smokey is awesome. When I was younger I went on many a midnight hunting trip with my grandfather where we all sat around the fire and listened to the wonderful voices of the Blue Tick Hound, especially once they treed.

Wow. My nephew just enrolled at UNA playing baseball and I had no idea they had a real lion. I am going to some games this spring and will check it out.

That lion was really cool. I love lions (at least restrained ones).
