We should just dress up a black lab AS a bobcat.  Much easier, and safer.  Easy first, safety second.

How about we just get some college aged guy to dress up like a wildcat.  Also we could get one of our fans to dress up like an eagle.  Then our wildcat guy could get a really big grill and Bar-B-Que  that bird.  But in the interest of safety, we don't really have a fire on the grill.  It's just a fake smoke from a fake smoke maker.  And after the bird is cooked*(this is faked because it was fake smoke), our football team runs out to Bar-B-Que and in the grill is a large bucket of KFC and they all get a piece.  Except for LHCBS, because he is to slow. JFC then comes to the party and announces to our fans, that there is enough bird for all of us to enjoy.  Eagle(chicken) plate specials at the concession stands.

http://pride-traditions.ua.txstate.edu/campus-traditions/the-bobcat-mascot.html (http://pride-traditions.ua.txstate.edu/campus-traditions/the-bobcat-mascot.html)

Texas State has had several officially recognized live bobcat mascots. According to the November 3, 1955 edition of the College Star, "Bashful Bob" was caught five miles north of San Marcos in 1922.  In 1955 "Cheetah" was acquired from Mr. & Mrs. James F. King of Austin and kept by head cheerleader Sid Boaz. During the 1960s, the university had a live bobcat who lived in a cage in the Quad area near Evans Auditorium. In the 1970s that bobcat was transferred to the Waco Zoo for animal rights reasons.

I mentioned it earlier in another thread, but bobcats raised from when they're young (not completely uncommon) are quite tame. I don't think there would be any problem with that, as long as it's treated humanely and only brought to the stadium for certain events.

Meanwhile, he/she could stay at Sunset Zoo, and (if I may say so) live a pretty bombass life for a bobcat.

I'm good with bringing one in from Sunset for every game. But not in a lame way where we put in a cage. Definitely needs like a whole den on one of the terraces.

I liken this to octawood for bball. Both would be a project within reason that would give our arena/stadium something instantly recognizable and unique. Something that is pretty awesome about sports, and college sports in particular. I also doubt either happens.

Yep, having a secretive, wild animal surrounded by 50,000 screaming people is a great idea.

That's what I walked away with from the Real Sports episode on this last November, for sure.

A tame bobcat acts pretty similar to a house cat, and I don't think too many people would object to that.

We can just put Touchdown on a leash, walk him onto the field or along the terraces at the beginning of the game, get some good publicity/exposure, and take him off. (The terraces/field, not the leash)

But you know what would be better; put a Willie the Wildcat Mastcot head on this little sucker.  Bet no one would complain that we just have a head on a person in a jersey anymore.  Better yet, we could put the old style Willie head on him.  Of course we would need to keep him in a cage, due to the scare factor.
Kids be shitting and getting.  Especially when our fake Willie pulls the real scary Willie around the field after we score.

Have a steer we raise on the farm for two years and the Willie skit before the Texas game is Willie bolt gunning the steer for some great Kansas beef. The next week there's a new baby steer.

Same thing with a chicken for KU.

A bear for Baylor.

It's hard to tell what house cats love more, being on a leash or being surrounded by 50,000 people. I hope someone in Mosier Hall is working on settling this age old question.
