Live mascots are all the rage in the Big 12...at least at Baylor, Texas A&M, and UT. Being that we are the Baylor Bears, Baylor has two live bears on campus, and they have had bears on campus since 1914. Judge Sue Sloan "Lady" and Judge Joy Reynolds "Joy" are the current bears, and you can check out more about them at http://www.baylor.edu/bear/ if you are interested. They come to all of the football games, and are sometimes paraded around campus, so if you are afraid of bears...watch out! :-D We took AJ to visit the bears, just for fun, and realized that he is a terrible watchdog. I think at one point he looked at the bears, acknowledging they were there, but other than that, he acted like there were no bears around. Ha! It made me laugh! Virginia Tech should invest in a huge live turkey, like they used to, but build a turkey habitat somewhere on campus. That would be AMAZING! :-)

Why are the bears called judges?
ReplyDeleteAnd if blacksburg had a turkey habitat - the hunters would have a field day. We like to eat our turkey legs during games.
What Sarah said. Turkeys everywhere except during hunting season!
