Roast A Mascot: Mississippi State Bulldogs

I’d like to preface this post by saying, I love dogs. Dogs of all different shapes and sizes, they’re all great. I’m sure a majority of you reading this would agree. However, this does not mean we can’t make fun of them from time to time. 

The bulldog was ranked as the third most common college mascot in an article posted by Buzzfeed in 2013. A total of 40 schools use the bulldog as their symbol. Not only is it incredibly unoriginal but it begs the bigger question of: why? Have these schools ever been around a bulldog? Of all dog breeds I’ve been around I’ve never encountered one as lethargic and uninspired as the bulldog.

Normally, I like to use the entirety of this post to cut down another school’s cherished symbol but this week there is no point. For the bulldog, it has already been done for me, in a way that I simply could not outdo no matter how hard I may try.

The bulldog was already roasted on the popular HBO series, Silicon Valley, by actor Matt Ross’ character, Gavin Belson. Belson is a billionaire tech entrepreneur who is CEO of Hooli – the show’s fictional equivalent of Google. Belson often uses animal metaphors in his board meetings and in one meeting he shines light on, you guessed it, a bulldog.

There is no point in trying to reinvent the wheel, so I’ll let Gavin Belson take the reigns and roast this week’s mascot: the Mississippi State Bulldog

Consider the bulldog before the Cat’s take on Mississippi State this Saturday.

“A kindly pet or humanity’s cruelest mistake?”
