While mascots have nothing to do with winning or losing, they are representative of a school’s athletic programs.
Kentucky has its wildcat, Clemson, Auburn, Missouri and LSU have their tigers, Alabama has their elephant. Florida State has their Seminole on horseback and Georgia and Mississippi State have their bulldogs. Louisville has always had their bird with teeth.
Louisville kicks off their season against Auburn in the Georgia Dome on September 5th. I'll be watching the 3:30 pm ET CBS telecast because both Auburn and Louisville are future opponents. If we didn't play both teams, I wouldn't watch.
