RALPHIE V MAKES HER VERY TRAMPLE-Y DEBUT

Ted Turner thinks Ralphie looks delicious.

Jesus, is that partial scholarship worth a potential goring, CU mascot handler?

I wonder if thats how Bill Bates felt after getting run over by then freshman Hershel Walker in the Ga-Tenn game…..basically that video reminded me of people trying to tackle Hershel Walker in his prime, you really needed a tazer to slow him down….gotta give it up for that white boy, he looked pretty fast keeping up with Ralphie….if Ralphie is like his Indian hunters, then Ralphie is also hopped up on booze….When can we get a college that has a Velociraptor as a mascot and let him run around?

Best buffalo-related post ever.

That time that the buffalo mascot trampled its handlers in front of a sparsely attended spring game?

Epic.

FEAR THE MAJESTIC BUFFALO

That handler went down like Joel Klatt in the Big XII Championship. Zing!

It’s a shame we keep Bevo sedated when we could turn DKR into the running of the bull.

#3…by God, I think Ole Miss may have a job for that there velociraptor!

You’re on to something there, croominator.

Houston Nutt + velociraptor = retiring YouTube, because the pinnacle will have been reached.

1. 8, Ole Miss already experimented with having a live velociraptor as its live mascot. It was named Coach Orgeron. There were moments of brief triumph, but ultimately it was deemed an uninsurable danger to itself and others.

According to lore I’ve heard, the first time one of Bill McCartney’s CU teams made it to the Orange Bowl, the stadium officials told them they weren’t allowed to run Ralphie across the field. McCartney told the handlers to do it anyway and “if the bowl officials want to stop him, they’re welcome to.”

Why does Ralphie V’s inner monologue sound terribly similar to most LSU defensive linemen?

Cage match. Bevo vs. Ralphie. Pay-Per-View. Winner takes on The Orgeron.

Memo to other universities:

Please learn from early LSU mascot meetings.

Tiger. Cage. Good.

Gotta love a college tradition that starts in fear and ends in anticlimax.

This is why no one was sitting in the field level seats, right?

13- Bevo, the nation’s most beloved jaundiced sloth-cattle with a weed problem (it’s true, name another), would simply lounge as Ralphie reaches higher and higher on the scale of rage at Bevo’s lethargic nature. A more enticing match? Ralphie vs. Boomer and Sooner (the OU shetland ponies. you think human midgets are unnerving, try midget ponies), the bear from Baylor (yes, a bear is a match…but it’s from Baylor), and TTech’s kamakaze horse with Bobby Knight in the saddle. That’s a deal that the folks at FX couldn’t turn down.

I wonder what Dan Hawkins said to the parents of Handler Four when they asked if their son could have some time off to mend his internal injuries…

This isn’t intramural buffalo herding, son.

I personally love Clay Travis’s idea that Ole Miss’s mascot should be William Faulkner…as long as it’s drunk, naked Faulkner, sitting in an oak tree and throwing stuff at the groundskeepers.

Ingrid Newkirk is not amused. In fact, she’s weeping.

If a couple of Native Americans had attended that spring game, you’d’ve been dining on lean buffalo burgers by sundown.

All I care about is if PETA got pissed off, b/c I like when those nincompoops get all in a tizzy.

Try buffalo in your dirty rice or jambalaya too… delish!

Let’s make home field advantage truly meaningful: allow the mascot to participate in the opening series.

Me? I see Florida and LSU rising quickly in the polls, the Irish not so much.

Tetonka, Tetonka!

To Allaha: Let go of me Lucky Charms!

I dunno. A drunk irishman may be a tough out.

I’d be pissed too if I was Ralphie. It’s bad enough being man-handled by a douchebag Parks & Recreation major, but you’re telling me I have to run and parade around in front of tens of fans? Not worth it.

BTW, how does LSU have a tiger as a mascot? Was their creative team from Missouri? Tigers, how boring.

What would have been cooler if, just like in a bull fight, they put the buffalo down with flaming spears, Ralphies all pissed off chasing everyone with about 20 flaming spears hanging off her back, til the Orgeron jumps outta the crowd and punches her out like Mongo in Blazing Saddles…..man I miss Coach O in the SEC……but gotta say, Coach Nutt is a nice follow up act…..Coach O was crazy when he got angry, and dont make him angry—- you wouldnt like him when he’s angry, but Coach Nutt is all crazy, all the time 24/7/365…..Totally 5150

Or better yet, vs. Peruna @ SMU. But I’d still put my $$$ on The Orgeron.

HOLLAPOSSUMHOLLAH!!!!!

lil’ red would maul you. but he would eat your soul.

Handler Two clearly participated in the Boulder 420 festival yesterday. His response to most anything was therefore, “Man, she’s flipping me out right now.”

Many Notre Dame teams do let the mascot play. That’s why they lose so much, especially when they run into non-Irish talent in the postseason.

This may explain the Ralphie video you posted.

When I went to CU for grad school, every game I went I was waiting for something like that to happen when they ran Ralphie around the field. I typicalli imagined that one of the handlers would just fall and get dragged around the field but getting gored and run over counts for bonus points.

One amusing point about this is that the fans are just sitting there in the stands clapping along to the fight song - which is what? Run, Ralphie, Down the Field, or some such.

That guy got Montana Stated.

meatybob @ 24 – they’ve had that name since 1896, and their “creative team” were Louisiana brigades serving in Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia.

I had a chance to meet Ralphie in person after a long cross- country trip, and she was pretty pissed off then as well.

That’s what spring ball is all about; working off the rust & getting the timing right.

It will all look like an Alvin Ailey performance come August.
