Bucky Badger is easily identifiable

The mascot is the fun ambassador for your team.  It should be pretty obvious who the mascot represents.  We have a couple problems with the Indiana Hoosiers.  For starters, I’m not entirely certain what a Hoosier is but when I hear the term I think of that movie.  Googling “Indiana Hoosier mascot” is not terribly illustrative.  The Ohio State has Brutus the Buckeye.  Fair enough, Ohio is the Buckeye State. But looking at him(?),  I don’t think you would be able to tell that this is a nut and more specifically, a Buckeye.  Michigan does not really have a mascot and there is some debate as to whether any wolverine has been seen in Michigan in the last couple centuries.
