Jerry Clower used to tell a funny story about when he played at Mississippi State that Alabama had an actual elephant as a mascot and they would walk it out on our field to relieve himself. He said a Mississippi State running back missed getting the end zone because a massive pile of elephant poop tripped him up.

Alamite, circa the 1940s. Use of a live mascot was discontinued due to the expense (and inherent danger) of using an actual elephant.

Again, the whole "poor" thing.
