When I went to the bama game on nov. 5, I was talking to some bammers about their mascot and they told me they didn't really like it. I then suggested that their alumni or school should get an elephant and enclosure. They said that having a live mascot like LSU would give them more pride in Al. I think it would be pretty badass and elephants are easily trained so it could be brought on the field. How do y'all bama fans feel?

I'm sure there's probably more logistics behind it than "they're easily trained".

Do you not understand all that would have to be involved with trotting a fricking ELEPHANT onto a football field to run around?

Yeah and when it up and decides to trample the visiting team what are you gonna do? Shoot it with a rifle in front of 101,000 ppl and a national tv audience?

Because first on their list of priorities is a paint job for their 1972 Camaros?

There's been talk of it before but there are rules for housing elephants. One thing I remember is that they must be housed in pairs because they are social animals and they die if they are alone too long.

I've always wondered why Bama bothered putting somebody in an elephant costume when half their women wouldn't need one.

Been done. Too expensive and too dangerous to justify.

Would an elephant + a giant elephant cage fit out the tunnel?
