Hard to train a Tennessee mascot, when you rub his nose in shite, he likes it.

Weren't the Clampetts from the Ozarks?

Only one SEC campus actually sits in the Ozark region.

Not very tough looking tbh.








I looked for pictures of people hunting hogs and big cats with Old English Bulldogs...but couldn't find any. I'm sure it's just an issue with my browser.


ETA...I did find this:

If we are talking dog mascots in general... yea Georgia y'all gotta start going to a less inbred breed of bulldog.

You look at bulldog pictures from decades ago and they look like animals that can comfortably...ya know.... exist

UGA X is more comfortable than anyone in this thread.

Im sure Smokey is the same.

In many households, the pets care comes first. It is a sweet life.

For all of the jokes about UGAs mascot health, we are still in the reign of UGA X. The bulldawgs in Savannah appear to live as long as the blue tick coonhounds from up north.

Jerry Duncan broadcasting the Ala/Tenn game…

“Well Eli, Smokey just came out of the tunnel, and he's about 100 yards away from me now, and if I had my deer rifle I believe I could drop him.” ~ back to you Eli.

Shorter ears and snout in first pic looks almost like a Catahoula. They are great hog hunting dogs. We had several growing up and they would just kill shite in the woods and bring it home on their own for fun.

Smokey is the best dog mascot in the country and I hate everything else about UT. Sorry UGA but Bully at Miss St is a much better looking bull dog. I don't worry about he camera panning over to him while he dies on the sideline. The collie from A&M is even better than the genetic freak UGA.

Hard not to love a dog that takes those pics. Smokey may be the only mascot that tried out and won the job fair and square. He's been beloved ever since.

As an aside, does anyone know of another mascot that won the job in tryouts?

They should redo the tryouts.
