"Wisconsin Unveils New-Look Bucky Badger."

"We just felt it was time for something a little fresher and more modern," said University of Wisconsin athletic director, Barry Alvarez.
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.

Brian Hancock म्हणाले...

Obviously, not true - but dang, that thing is scary.

Methadras म्हणाले...

It looks like a rabid furry. What the hell do they do there in UW?

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

A joke, right?

rhhardin म्हणाले...

We don't need no stinkin badger.

raf म्हणाले...

Looks more like a rabid skunk

Tregonsee म्हणाले...

I am afraid to ask what the new Becky looks like.

Marcus Carman म्हणाले...

Relax folks!

अनामित म्हणाले...

That will certainly get Wisconsin babies screaming in fear. I guess they don't plan on having small children pose with Bucky.

Calypso Facto म्हणाले...

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. :-)

Lyle म्हणाले...

Looks like road kill.

Petunia म्हणाले...

Hahahahahahahaha! Before I clicked on the link I thought this was serious.

dave_WI म्हणाले...

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.

Mogget म्हणाले...

That's what has been chewing off all those people's faces in Florida. No doubt at all. Just look at the eyes.

Michelle Dulak Thomson म्हणाले...

Man. I didn't think there was a nastier than the OSU Beaver, but I gather I was wrong.

Simon म्हणाले...

Of course. Something "modern." That's the spirit of the age. If I was the barman, I'd cut the age off.

Automatic_Wing म्हणाले...

New look Bucky don't give a shit. He's pretty badass.

Third Coast म्हणाले...

Yeah, well ya oughta see the new Michigan Wolverine mascot. Everyone knows wolverines kick badger butt.

Tim म्हणाले...

Where's Atticus Finch to shoot it dead in the middle of the road?

The damn thing looks like it has rabies.

William म्हणाले...

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.

Chuck66 म्हणाले...

This is what Bucky will look like after Minnesota sweeps him in hockey this year.

Issob Morocco म्हणाले...

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.

Balfegor म्हणाले...

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?

Rabel म्हणाले...

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.

ed म्हणाले...

Well let's take a look here and check this out ... dum-dee-dum ... well here it is ...

WTF!?

? ... ?? ... ! ... !!!

Astro म्हणाले...

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.

That thing looks ridiculous. This has got to be a joke, right?

Mr. D म्हणाले...

Coincidentally, I saw on a Badger fan website that the new Iowa mascot looks a lot like a starling.

Astro म्हणाले...

"Muskrat fun for everyone!"

FleetUSA म्हणाले...

Looks like you might want to do battle in the SEC with the likes of LSU.

ampersand म्हणाले...

He looks about 50% black, 40% brown and 10% white. Was this a diversity hire?

Phil 314 म्हणाले...

Bucky has a drinking problem

Methadras म्हणाले...

My dogs name is Bucky. This is an insult.

SCOTTtheBADGER म्हणाले...

That is a Europen Badger, (Meles Meles), not an American, or Proper Badger, ( Taxedea Taxus ).
