For those interested. Alabama had a elephant mascot in 1958. It was on the sidelines for the Auburn game that year.

5 minute mark...

Awesome.

Please bring a live elephant to Tiger Stadium. We can feed it to Mike the Tiger while we yell "Tiger Bait".

And that way, LSU fans will be guaranteed to have something to cheer for on Nov. 6.

Thanks in advance.

I just found this interesting, because of the several offseason topics regarding why Alabama "had never had one". I doubt the majority of Alabama fans even know there was one at some point.

Tigers don't mess with healthy, grown elephants, especially bull elephants.

What happened? Were they afraid the new coach would try to wrestle with it?

Aren't their fans always in town since they live there?

It is interesting. I was just giving you some shite while handicapping my own team's chances.

I think it would be cool if Bama had a live mascot. Then PETA could give y'all shite about Al E. Phant's habitat. Look I even named him for you. Dress him in houndstooth. It would be awesome. Seriously.

Maybe the fact that they lost to Auburn that day is the reason they haven't had one since.

Don't yell Tiger Bait...yell, "come kick our arse because we don't stand a chance with our incompetent coaching staff!"
