Why we are bulldogs

For those asking about the bulldog mascot here is the full story. We used to have more military style traditions back in the day and the funeral March was one done especially when we won a big game.

I feel like the University will find a great way to integrate Leach’s legacy into our schools history and traditions. Would be cool to have a big march to the stadium on super bulldog weekend to dedicate a new tradition or part of the stadium to him.

God bless the family as they go through this and continue to pray for our players and coaches.

A lot more of this in southern football tradition than most realize.

Radio guy going nuts referred to the team as a band of wild Arkansas Razorbacks.

It stuck and replaced the Cardinals.


Misread OP “our” as “your”. Oh well, now you know.

Should adopt the leech as secondary mascot like Ole Miss did the Black Bear and Landshark
