Boko got a new costume this year but many, many fans noticed, at the first home game, that the tail was about 3-4 feet long and emails flooded the athletic and cheer offices.

The reply was that it was a designers/seamstress? error and it was going ot be corrected before the next home game (this week)

Taking it as tongue in check, the U has come out with a "Tale of the Tail" so to speak.

Here's episode 1





and episode 2




Then today's "press release"
http://www.txstatebobcats.com/news/2013/...th=general

Great to see they could make fun of it and Seton was a was a willing participant (one of our corp sponsors)

The moral of the story is.....
God creates everyone, in His own unique way.....but we can surgically alter any perceived abnormality to become "normal"....?

He should embrace his handicap....er......uniqueness.

Wow..lots of trouble being gone to. Get an ax and a block of wood.....

I am just amazed that so many Texas State fans know how long a Bobcat's tail is supposed to be. If I come across a Bobcat in the wild, the last thing I will be doing is checking to see how long its tail is.

I could have fixed it with needle, thread, scissors and 10 minutes of time.

oh good lord.

episode 3





I think it's great that the U is having so much fun with the huge faux pas.

Ok that one got a laugh out of me.

I love the "operation" game.

that is pretty funny Seton went all out on this I wonder if it was not partially their idea once people brought up the tail length

I think it's great that they are doing it. They hosed, and apparently a BUNCH of folks made note about it.

So they went ahead and made fun of themselves, and did a little promotions while they're at it.

I actually kinda like these. Glad they are taking a creative approach.

A bobcat gets its named from its bobbed tail.



Not from Bob Marley, Bob Saget, Bob Dylan, Bob Hope, Bob Barker, Bobby Kennedy, Bob Seger, Bob Denver, Bob DiNiro, Bobby Bonds, Bob Hewhart, Bobby Brown, Bob Eubanks, Bob Bullock, Bobby Hill, Bob the Builder, Silent Bob, Bob Schneider, Bob Dole, Bob Costas, Bob Uecker nor my favorite...Bob Ross.

So they fixed the tail, but what are they going to do about the mask?

I saw one while out deer hunting one time. It was quite a bit fatter and much more grey than that. I wasn't fast enough with my gun to get a shot.
Interesting animal though.

There is a lot of regional, even seasonal, variation in color among bobcats. The ones I have seen in North Louisiana were also much greyer than that one.

final episode.

epilogue to be determined on Saturday (I'll try to get a picture)

LOL...good job Texas St.

Great job by sports marketing! They handled this beautifully and will get some positive mileage out of a bad situation.
