I wish I had a pic of our mascot back in 81. He sat on the goalpost at legion field. Started punching ateddy bear and pulled the head off and the stuffing out. Yes Bryant was alive and still coaching.
This however is an oldie but goodie.

Lightning (the real one, not the crap-one they show sometimes) is awesome at least to me, what other schools have a mythological creature from ancient Greece as the mascot.

Big Red has been recognized nationally as a mascot and an ultimate fan of intercollegiate sports. These 23lbs of Big Red love are known by thousands as the heart and soul of Western Kentucky University. Big Red was the centerpiece of ESPN's promotion of the 25,000th SportsCenter airing in August 2002, was selected to the first-ever Capital One All-America Mascot Team, was featured in a television advertising campaigning and competed against 11 other mascots for the title of Capitol One National Mascot of the Year in 2003 and 2004. He's been belly sliding, crowd surfing, and cheering his way in out of commercials and competitions for the past twenty years. Big Red's favorite events include the Special Olympics, Relay for Life, Arthritis charity events and more. Big Red's community events even outnumber sporting events two to one.
