I was going through my files and thought some on the board might want to have larger copies of them than you can usually find.

And here's a Herbie Husker mark for Nebraska since they have two mascots. I have some sport specific ones that I'll post later as well.

Do anyone remember some talk about IU getting a squirrel mascot (around '04 when I was there)?

[Spearhead]

This thread reminded me of this Indiana logo I found awhile back:

Never knew IU ever used a bulldog mascot.

I don't remember the squirrel concept. I was at IU around 2000 and there was some talk of a buffalo as a mascot. There's a buffalo on the state seal so it made some sense.

Indiana has also had a buffalo:

Neither the Buffalo nor the bulldog were ever official logos or mascots. Sometimes an individual team would adopt something like those, but it was never the university. The only official mascfot IU has had was its very short lived "Hoosier Pride" mascot in 1979 (Lee Corso era).

It was basically the image of a rube in overalls and a cowboy hat, one step away from being barefoot with wheat sticking out of his mouth. Needless to say it did not paint the U or the state in a good light.

I still think they should go with Indiana Jones as their mascot, or a dog named Indiana Jones, since that is where the name came from. But they should pick a dog breed that is a little less used, no bulldogs or huskies. Maybe a beagle or an American fox hound. Something with some red in its coat.

People with losing records all time against the Hoosiers don't get to make fun of them.

EDIT-That said, I'm convinced that some Big Ten school desperately needs to adopt a pig or a cow or some other patently ridiculous farm animal as a live animal mascot because it's so fitting for the league in general.
