How about "Biscuit Eaters"? I would love to root for a bunch of biscuit eating players and coaches. The cheerleaders might be a bit on the heavy side but instead of jumping up and down they can roll each other
on the ground.

It’s a textbook case of canine monoculture rooted in systemic bias.

By centering bulldogs, institutions are perpetuating a narrow narrative that excludes marginalized breeds—where is the equitable representation for greyhounds, for beagles, for rescue mutts who’ve historically been under-resourced in mascot spaces? What about the breeds that were here before the colonizer breeds came in and stole their pet friendly areas?

Until we dismantle this bulldog-centric hegemony and embrace true canine diversity, our so-called ‘school spirit’ is just another form of structural inequality.

Sounds like a class action begging to be pursued

This does not even take into account teams with variations of these mascot names, like UCLA Bruins (Bruin means BEAR) or Southern Miss Golden EAGLES.

No nickname can best the 'Banana slugs'. Santa Cruz, CA. Anyway, on topic, will be interested to see how the speed of Grambling matches up with tOSU folk. Am betting on the Buckeyes running some fly routes (doesn't really matter, Jeremiah, Carnel, or Inness). Am betting that there will be more than several chunk yardage catches (let alone TDs) come out of this game.

That’s what I’d like to see… those 20+ yard chunk plays. Get down the field quick.

I get needing to work 2 tight ends and moving people off the ball etc. but that can be worked on in the red zone. Getting down the field in a hurry would be something I’d take away as a positive.

On defense? Just stopping the run.

I'm partial to another UC school's mascot: The UCI Anteaters. Zot!
