The negatives are abstraction and lack of live mascot.
Back during the Shula years when the DKE house was in front of the stadium they had an elephant on their lawn for a homecoming game. It was a big deal and everybody got real excited over it but from what I've heard is the University won't allow anyone to do it again.

Up until the 1950s, Alabama would sometimes parade a pair of live elephant mascots around Tuscaloosa (and even on the field of Denny Stadium) on gameday such as this pair in the Quad in1945. The practice was suspended when caring for the animals became too expensive.
