Do they call Cougars, Mountain Lions in the Young Harris area?

My being the source doesn't change the fact that this breed - as with MANY pure bred dogs - is suffering. Just so happens that the English bulldog is one of the most inbred breeds in the AKC. Siler isn't helping things, either.
quote:
The show blamed the United Kingdom Kennel Club for promulgating show standards for breeds that bred inherent health problems and claimed the standards had provenance in the principles of the now discredited eugenics movement that was embraced by the Nazis. It particularly criticized the practice of breeding closely related dogs.
The controversy did not stop there. Rather, it focused attention on a study published in May 2008, in which a group at Imperial College, London, investigated the lineage of more than 100,000 dogs registered by the United Kingdom Kennel Club using a rigorous technique to characterize genetics. They reported that of ten breeds investigated, all but one (Greyhound) appeared to be extremely inbred. For all but two of the breeds, the amount of genetic variation was similar to that of a population of 40 to 80 individuals. The English Bulldog’s effective population size was 48 individuals (Genetics 2008;179:593-601).

I like how you follow me around. It's cute.
Yes, Mountain Lions.
I'm also a Panther and Cajun ...
oh, and a Bulldog

Some jacketfan is trying to link the Nazis to our mascot...

Bulldogs are beloved and people pay thousands for the privilege of owning one.
Yellow jackets are universally despised and people happily shell out a couple of bucks for a can of yellow jacket death spray to be rid of the pests.
Plus, yellow jackets attack with their arse. Now I am aware that most gt fans enjoy leading with their arse in their personal lives (even when they are guests on other team's message boards), but choosing something like that as a mascot for your entire program is just wrong.

Of course he won't be banned. Our admin doesn't soil himself with such distasteful chores as waste removal.

The English Bulldog has health problems. There is no denying it. I've seen other discussions on going to other types of bulldogs but it's not going anywhere. It's a beautiful puppy.

You're right. You should probably go ahead and come up with a list of replacement-mascot suggestions for us.
Then we can provide you with some feedback on them before you present the list to the Tech fanbase for the final decision.
Just kidding. Eat shite.

ATTENTION DAWGRANTERS: This is how you do it.

Ah. You start an insulting thread on your rival's message board and then you kiss Jefferson's a*s hoping you'll get away with it.
Gotcha.
Gotcha.

At least find one that can breed. Y'all's have to resort to artificial insemination cause they can't even screw.

This issue has been addressed and is typical of the vast break from reality most GT nerds hold.
Pick something more relevant like traffic jams on 316 or something...

Actually they have now hit upon something that they are experts in - creatures that need artificial help in order to screw.
Figures they would be all over that.
