Steubenhoosier Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Bringing back the Bison could be a big deal, depending on how it is marketed. I mean, who is this for? Little kids (future Hoosiers) would love it. Alumni (boosters/donors) probably would if the Bison made appearances at Alumni Club events, etc. Current students--maybe, but it would take some time. I lived in Wisconsin, and Bucky Badger is all over everywhere. Wherever the university can get a product endorsement, the logo is evident. I have seen semis driving up and down I-69 with Badger Trucking mudflaps and the Bucky logo on them. Everything from cheese curds to condoms ( the university put a quash on that quickly, though) at one time or another have had the Bucky Badger logo on them. Overnight, probably not going to have an impact on the current students. If the logo becomes entrenched in the state, however, it can become beloved by residents and something that future students would come to expect to be part of their university experience.

Well, at minimum, it might get people to stop asking me what a Hoosier is, or if they do, I can just tell them it's a bison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUB74 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 The story I always heard was that Bobby walked in and saw a banner saying “Hurrying Hoosiers”. Bobby said take that down they ain’t hurrying anymore. Could be a myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
