Bucky Badger Won’t Terrify Your Kids

Of course a post like this is going to throw shade.  That’s kind of the point.  So let it fly.  Bucky Badger is a friendly mascot.  I can’t imagine taking your child to a game in Lincoln, East Lansing, Rutgers, and West Lafayette, terrified at any moment they might spot the local mascot.  My niece is a big fan of her soft stuffed animal Bucky Badger.  Because I love her I would not get her mascots from Nebraska, Michigan State, Rutgers, or Purdue.  Those mascots look like the belong on the poster from Jordan Peele’s next horror movie.  Get out…of my nightmares.
