re: Best Live/Overall Mascot in the SEC and Best in All of CFB

Bama used to have Alamite the Elephant housed on campus in the 40s, but it was too costly (and I imagine his "habitat" was probably less than ideal by today's standards). So, it didn't last very long, and they switched periodically to circus elephants coming in for homecoming. Given the financial situation they have now, it would be pretty cool to build a really nice enclosure and bring in a pair of live elephants. But, I could do without reviving the homecoming rides and, please God, find a better name than Alamite.
