i'm in and think this is a fantastic idea and tradition as long as sh*t doesn't get weird like Texas A&M:



... yes that is a cemetery for their mascots... yes they have their own little score board.

"The dog cemetery once had a view of Kyle Field's scoreboard, but renovations and moving of the grave sites blocked the view and a miniature scoreboard had to be installed at the new location. ... All the dogs are buried with their heads and paws pointed towards the stadium, so that in death “they can always watch the Aggies outscore their opponent on the field”"

Because there is honoring a good dog and excellent mascot and then there's Texas, who always has to out do everyone.
