It's my personal biased opinion LSU is the real Tigers, Auburn has about 35 different nicknames and Missouri is well, you know...


Missouri being a new member is out of the Tiger race. LSU and Auburn are both founding members of the SEC but Auburn has played football 1 year longer than LSU has but I'm not sure if we were the tigers at that point.

We could be the "Royal Tide."

We'd look so awesome (think KC Royals)...or BYU/AFA/Kentucky.

Alabama Royal Tide

LSU was and is the "Fighting Tigers"


True. It's a much-forgotten fact that USCe is also the "Fighting" Gamecocks. Let's look at the SEC's "official" mascots and secondary mascots:

A&M Aggies/(no secondary mascot but have a live collie dog)
Arkansas Razorbacks/Hogs
Auburn Tigers/Plainsmen (also have a live golden eagle)
Bama Crimson Tide/Red Elephants
Carolina Fighting Gamecocks/Cocks
Florida Gators/(no secondary mascot)
Kentucky Wildcats/(no secondary mascot)
LSU Fighting Tigers/Bayou Bengals
M State Bulldogs/Dawgs
Mizzou Tigers/(no secondary mascot)
Ole Miss Rebels/(no secondary mascot but have a black bear costume)
Tennessee Volunteers/Vols (also have a live bluetick coonhound)
UGA Buldogs/Dawgs
Vandy Commodores/(no secondary mascot)

I actually think this isn't a bad mascot, and I don't know why Ole Miss cringes at it so much. Central Arkansas is the Bears, and I like their stuff.

When University of Arkansas was voting for the "school colors", heliotrope, a shade of light purple, took second place. UCA took it up as theirs.

Schools that definitely shouldn't change a thing:

Florida Gators
South Carolina Gamecocks
Tennessee Volunteers
Vanderbilt Commodores
Texas A&M Aggies
Alabama Crimson Tide
Arkansas Razorbacks

Need to get away from ordinary/controversial mascots and become:

Kentucky Thoroughbreds
Georgia English Bulldogs
Missouri Tiger Cats
Auburn War Eagles
Ole Miss Black Bears
LSU Bayou Bengals
Miss State Bullies

Some schools should change their colors, too. Seven have a version of red. Some green and variants of yellow would be nice. I'd like to see UK go back to the original blue and maize, for example.

Nothing about the similarity of name/mascot from Tulane?







Or Pepperdine?

Bullies would upset some people. State could be the 39ers.

I'm trademarking that one!
