Alvarez said that Wisconsin officials wanted something "edgier," as well. "No offense, but the old Bucky was just a little too nice-looking...."

The new Bucky looks ready for a face off at a post-Hockey bath salts party.
Obviously, not true - but dang, that thing is scary.
It looks like a rabid furry. What the hell do they do there in UW?
A joke, right?
We don't need no stinkin badger.
Looks more like a rabid skunk
I am afraid to ask what the new Becky looks like.
Relax folks!
That will certainly get Wisconsin babies screaming in fear. I guess they don't plan on having small children pose with Bucky.
Woooh, that's ugly. If we're gonna change it, how about a Honey Badger? Then we get the sweet name with the ready-made cheer slogans. (Although it's not like they need any MORE cussing at the stadium...)
Not unlike the makeover they gave Zippy at the University of Akron.
We went from a fun, Katie the Kangaroo type to Fear The Roo.
Oh, yeah.
True story. Here in Colorado my brother-in-law told me that this morning he was awoken by his son yelling "Dad, Dad! There's some strange animal in our backyard!" It was a badger and the badger was busily eating a gopher. :-)
Looks like road kill.
Hahahahahahahaha! Before I clicked on the link I thought this was serious.
When I first seen it I thought, they can't be serious. He is mostly Black, which UW I sure would be overjoyed in doing but he also looks kind of visious, those two word are not allowed in the same sentance; so I have determined that, it is a joke.
That's what has been chewing off all those people's faces in Florida. No doubt at all. Just look at the eyes.
Man. I didn't think there was a nastier than the OSU Beaver, but I gather I was wrong.
Of course. Something "modern." That's the spirit of the age. If I was the barman, I'd cut the age off.
New look Bucky don't give a shit. He's pretty badass.
Yeah, well ya oughta see the new Michigan Wolverine mascot. Everyone knows wolverines kick badger butt.
Where's Atticus Finch to shoot it dead in the middle of the road?
The damn thing looks like it has rabies.
Perhaps an overreaction to the Penn State scandal. No kids will be hugging that mascot. No unarmed person would even want to be near it.....I like the touch of the frothing saliva. Pehaps he could also have claws that drip with blood. That would be cool.
This is what Bucky will look like after Minnesota sweeps him in hockey this year.
Looks like a reject from Occupy Wall Street.
Scruffy the Badger!
They must know they have a bad team this year and this will move attention away from that.
Is . . . is that drool? If you used that for real, what would be the gimmick? Make it foam up and throw a fit on the field instead of dancing or whatever mascots usually do?
It's an internet sarcasm detector test.
Most people here have passed. Makes me proud of the Althouse commentariat...but we havent heard from garage or leslyn yet.
Well let's take a look here and check this out ... dum-dee-dum ... well here it is ...
WTF!?
? ... ?? ... ! ... !!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
That thing looks ridiculous. This has got to be a joke, right?
Coincidentally, I saw on a Badger fan website that the new Iowa mascot looks a lot like a starling.
"Muskrat fun for everyone!"
Looks like you might want to do battle in the SEC with the likes of LSU.
He looks about 50% black, 40% brown and 10% white. Was this a diversity hire?
Bucky has a drinking problem
My dogs name is Bucky. This is an insult.
That is a Europen Badger, (Meles Meles), not an American, or Proper Badger, ( Taxedea Taxus ).
