I can assure anyone concerned that Steve Hein takes care to make sure that bird was gradually acclimated to people and crowds. It took a while after he was rescued (he can't survive in the wild with his beak) before he made his first flight at a home game.

With all the drunk ********* sure to be in attendance, bring that bird to Cajun Field and he'll be smothered in onions by halftime.

I know exactly what The Birds is. However, it was still a weird statement.

I know... But Texas State doesn't have one! And Troy, the Cajuns, App State, NMSU, and Idaho don't count (UTA & UALR either).

But it's not a knock on Georgia Southern... I just don't like it.

Can you really tame a bobcat?

stAte doesn't have one...but that's probably more because Red Wolves are an endangered species.

I double checked my own facts. There are between 90-110 Red Wolves living in the Wild today. (Mostly in North Carolina) with 200 more living in captivity. There were 9 confirmed shootings of Red Wolves last year, and the government is having to kill coyotes to keep them from cross breeding with the Red Wolf.

http://www.fws.gov/redwolf/

I believe at one time they were even thought to be extinct.

Also, GaSt needs a live panther.

Doesn't Liberty have one of those?

Also, live mascots are largely ridiculous. The only way I can support it (for wild animals, anyway) is when it's done like GS does, with rescued animals and experts keeping the animal's welfare in mind. Auburn seems like they handle it well, too.

Even the Uga phenomenon kind of pisses me off, because it encourages rednecks to pay ridiculous amounts of money for ridiculously inbred dogs. I was at a convenience store in Athens once when some folks were showing off a bulldog pup in the parking lot and bragging about its connection to one of the Ugas (true or not...who knows?). I wanted to throw up a little bit.

Animals are not equipped to routinely handle that amount of noise and commotion, it triggers the flight response.

I'm no PETA guy, I just hate seeing animals subjected to stuff like that unnecessarily.

Since Freedom was raised in captivity and trained to do just what he does and the fact that Steve Hein is the expert here, you should not be too concerned.

PETA wanted UGA to get a robot dog because they kept killing the other ones with the inbreeding. Those poor things only seem to last a couple seasons these days.

Freedom is a family member. He goes home with Steve every night. Steve drives a beautiful vintage Scout with a custom perch for Freedom in the back so he gets to see out.

Has anyone figured out whether or not Georgia Tech has a live mascot? That would be awesome!

That's a real cheesy advertisement. We don't represent our community. we represent the state and nation. Rise together? How about flee? Please deep six this roll of video.

They could request that all the Cajun stuff be removed from this and future videos. I don't think anyone would deny such a request.

You know as well as I do that you guys are going to bolt given the first chance. I'm just being honest. I've never liked the "Together We Rise" slogan. I can't think of something better but then again I don't get paid to do advertising. Does ASU represent only the town it's located in? I think not.

No represent your school. Representing your city and state, to a degree. But the nation, and you think GS fans have delusions of grandeur.

What first chance? Conference realignment will have to occur and there are fair odds that won't happen for at least 6 years. If that did occur, then Arkansas State and Louisiana would have to be part of those involved.

There would probably be only one or two slots involved (the SEC isn't going to 20 members). Here is a list of schools with a reasonable shot at being involved for those one or two mythical spots at the moment. Arkansas State, Louisiana, Texas State, South Alabama, James Madison, New Mexico State, NIU, Georgia State. There are probably others. As we have seen before, conference realignment does not always make sense and conferences do not choose members based on our criteria. Even if there is a new round of conference realignment....our chances of being in the one or two chosen are...like everyone else's...iffy.

Then you throw in the fact that college football may be undergoing a sea-change due to the courts and nobody knows what will happen.

The only rational course of action is to continue to build the conference you are actually in rather than rely on a golden ticket to a conference someone else built...and then abandoned.

It makes no sense to set fire to our house because we hope we might have another some day maybe. It makes no sense to spend the best year's our program has known being sour, mad, and sad.
