BUFFALO GETS NEW MASCOT
Buffalo has a D-1 football program, which you may not have known unless you’re fond of the “baby seal clubbing” game in NCAA 2007–the one where you take, say, Florida (hanging strong at an A) and pit them at home against the football equivalent of a mayfly…like Buffalo, for example. To combat their image problem–having none, that is–they’ve embraced rebranding the mascot you probably didn’t know existed.

This has to beat the old one–whatever, em, that was. This represents improvement despite the bull possessing a septum piercing, which is soooooo 1993 of him. Yet Devil Grad and other Miami Hawk Talkers also couldn’t help but notice a slight similarity to another famous logo:

Hey, don’t make fun. Too much of the Bull can knock you on your ass!

Red bull gives you wings…Blue bull gives you 0-12?

I think Billy Dee did the Colt 45 commercials…maybe he can shill for Indianapolis in the NFL:
“Colt 45 goes down smooth, and never chokes in the clutch!”

Does anyone else long for the day when a Red Bull meant a 40oz. of Schlitz Red Bull Malt Liquor?

I am with you Big Easy. Those were the days. Never felt my heart jumping out of my chest back then.

red bull gives you wings…going 0-12 and having a mascot stolen from a can of cheap beer gets a spot on auburn’s schedule?

Now maybe they can beat Temple. As a lifelong Bills fan, I’ve always had a soft spot for the Bulls…

Schlitz makes OE seem like Colt 45.
None of these are on the same level as Hurricane, though. No way.
