Bully XI was Rebel?

They just showed the monument dedicated to our previous Mascots. Bully XI was named Rebel. Good lord. Of all the gaffs.

1972. Weird, saw that.

Ever heard of a fat man called slim. Same thing.

Temporary replacement mascot owned by an alum who filled in for a few games.

The previous mascot was run over by a bus after the Homecoming game.

Rebel was replaced in mid-season by Bully XII Romeo who then was murdered after the '72 season.

Seriously.

My family had a couple Bulldogs whose sire was Rebel Tornado-- I've always kind of wondered if Rebel Tornado was a relation of (or the formal AKC name for) Rebel.

THAT may be our curse, not injuns

ESPN is forgiven

Damn. There was a short period of time when being Bully was risky. Nugget sends his condolences.*

 

[TNT.sixpack]

THAT was exactly my thought. It all suddenly made sense

 

[Dawg1979]

I saw that too. I face palmed. I’m sure my on douche friends are pausing the tv to photo op that for the facebook

The question is how was our football team under the reign of Rebel Bully? I'd name the next Bully "Colonel Hugh Manning" if it appeases the indians.
