Arkansas debuted the mascot on the side of the helmet in the 1964, a trend soon copied by Texas and others.
The Denver Broncos did it in 1962, I think. Arkansas copied them.

This is false. Texas put the Longhorn silhouette on the side of the helmet in 1961 in the season opener at Cal-Berkeley.
So Arkansas was third.
1. Texas
2. Denver Broncos
3. Arkansas

Prove it, here's Huey leading LSU's in 1934:
that's not a pregame walk. that's Huey Long leading the LSU band in a parade. Auburn wasn't the first, though. Stanford and Williams College predate Auburn. However, Auburn was the first school to really market it on a big scale

None of those were "mascots." They were "logos." I was trying to grant the OP his premise. Even doing that, he's still wrong. I think your point--which is similar to mine--is that Arkansas was following an NFL trend.

agreed. also, according to helmet project:
Mississippi state had a bulldog on their helmet in 1963
Florida State had a Seminole on their helmet in 1962
Maryland had a terrapin on their helmet in 1963
Kansas had a Jayhawk on theirs in 1963
Texas had a longhorn in 1961
So yeah, he's just basically wrong all around

The few times I walk into this shitshow of a board during the offseason, Arkansas trolls never dissapoint. With one thread we have AU/UA, A&M/UTx, Miz/Ark, LSU/Clem, and OM desperate for someone to pay attention to them.

Any college using artificial turf in their stadium...UT did it first.
Doug's Rug was installed the Summer of 1968. UT played on an artificial surface at home for the next 36 years, then pulled it and went back to natural grass.

Shug Jordan always referred to it as the "Brillo Pad".

Recent traditions all teams "borrow":
Miami/FSU: Changed the look and feel of college football in the 1980s. Brought a distinctive style, attitude and look and now dominates the sport, not to mention a pass first philosophy.
Oregon: The multiple uniform style/special occasion uniform almost every team now copies.

Seriously? Tubberville brought that to Auburn from OM.
Congrats on perhaps the most ignorant statement in this thread.
quote:
n the beginning, in the 1960s -- before Tiger Walk became "the most copied tradition in all of college football," Auburn athletic director David Housel said with pride, not pique -- it was just a bunch of kids running up to Donahue Drive to see the Auburn Tigers walk from their dorm to the game.
There are older pre-game walks at Stanford and at Williams College. But they don't generate the passion that builds as the Auburn team makes the turn from Donahue onto Roosevelt at the south end of Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Think we borrowed this from Auburn.

But can you really borrow something so simple in design?
