That would, indeed, be badass.


And I'd DEFINITELY help pitch in. This shit excites me.

i have long wished we would change our mascot to the NC State Man O Wars

2/3/2009 4:11:06 PM

I can just see the wolf going berzerk and mauling some chick in the band tunnel or something awful, that's definitely a pipe dream

not to mention the fireworks and cheering would freak the thing out big time

it'd have to be a big wolf-like dog breed, that I could see happening

or even have Mr. Wuf run out with real wolf on a leash or something

2/3/2009 4:59:06 PM

i heard UCLA has had a live bear mascot a few times back in the day

and that UNC had their fag sheep ramses go to bball games a couple times, but he would shit on the court so they said no to that

2/25/2009 8:48:09 PM

This is never going to happen

But if it did, I'd be disappointed with just one damn wolf

We aren't the NC State Wolves

2/25/2009 8:51:38 PM

won't happen while the economy is in the shitter

2/25/2009 8:52:14 PM

Legally, State wouldnt be liable for a dog biting someone unless they know it was dangerious before hand b/c it had attacked someone before. Now if they get a true wolf and it bites someone, they are pretty much liable no matter what. But legal liability isnt a big deal for a dog.

some of these student senators seem like real douchebags...like it would be so impossible for someone / some people to take care of a dog

2/24/2010 3:27:06 PM

Kyle O'donnell is clearly a dipshit

2/24/2010 3:36:35 PM

That Kyle O'Donnell sounds like a real tool.

"That spirit never dies, unlike a Tamaskan."

2/24/2010 3:40:08 PM

i would like 3. or 5.

not 1,2, or 4.

2/24/2010 3:57:36 PM

Get one girl and one guy Tamaskan. They'll be our "pack" for now. Then they'll make little Tamaskans and our pack will grow. Also, if I'm in Vet School, I think it'd be pretty badass to care for the school's mascots.

And that Kyle O'donnell character can fuck off



[Edited on February 24, 2010 at 3:59 PM. Reason : On second thought, kev is right. We need to have 3. Just make sure they're not all the same sex]

Kyle O'Donnell needs to be fired. He clearly doesn't have the best interests of the students in mind

2/24/2010 4:12:34 PM

agreed on 2,3, or 5 wolves. 2 could be "Mr. & Mrs. Wuf", but 3 or 5 would make a good "pack"

2/24/2010 4:21:05 PM

The cop out would be get one to start out with and say that it, Mr. Wuf, and Mrs. Wuf are a "Wolfpack"

Then expand out from there.

2/24/2010 4:27:21 PM

6 would actually be good and we could keep them in beer pong cup formation.

2/24/2010 4:29:19 PM

^^i had the same thought about being lame, getting one, and calling it a pack with mr and mrs wuf

"O’Donnell said it was impractical to think the University can maintain a live animal as a mascot. "

But it's not impractical for UGA, UNC, UT (both of them), LSU, OU, SCar, etc. for them to have live mascots. I mean LSU has a freaking tiger. Colorado has a buffalo. Texas has an 1,800 lbs steer that has horns that measures 6 feet tip-to-tip. We can't even take care of a fucking dog. No wonder our university is so screwed up.

2/24/2010 5:32:26 PM

what do you expect from a bowl-cut

2/24/2010 5:51:32 PM

Compared to some of the ACC mascots, it would be relatively easy to pull off.

I don't see a swarm of insects a sustained 75 mph windstorm being practical

lol Brass Monkey. I don't know what the problem is with these student senators unless they plan on going into politics and honestly think that future opportunities will disappear at the expense of accepting a bill that doesn't specify word for word how to take care of a effing dog.

Here's the bottom line: Getting a live mascot would be awesome. Make it happen.

2/24/2010 6:20:51 PM

that girl is heinous

clearly his judgement is suspect

2/24/2010 6:37:30 PM

I'm not going to rag on dude about his girl, but I will publicly talk shit to him about his stance on a 30,000 student university not being able to take care of a dog

2/24/2010 6:52:37 PM

I was a student senator for a year and a half, the current bunch may possibly be the worst I have ever witnessed.

2/24/2010 7:00:23 PM

I thought it was a dumb idea until I heard that we used to do this. I think it'd be pretty cool to restart this old tradition. As long as it looks like a wolf I don't think anyone can really bitch about it too much.

I'd also like to see us replace the new wolf logo with the old Tuffy wolf logo. We have all those new logos with the wolf/wolves on the mountain which I think look fine, but changing that old strutting wolf was a dumb ass idea. I'd also like to see us start using the profile view of the wolf on merchandise and things again.

2/24/2010 7:23:13 PM

Since I'm going to state next fall, live mascot(s) would be sooo sick to see. I'm also really involved with student government/politics, so who knows.. maybe I'll try to get student senate

2/24/2010 8:14:37 PM

don't bother.

2/24/2010 8:18:03 PM

student gov't is just for resume padding. trust me

2/25/2010 4:40:31 PM

#1. The idea is retarded

#2. The kid on the radio today made the idea sound even worse than it actually is, which I never thought was possible.

Please, someone, go curb stomp that little panty waste for me. And, whoever started this god damn thing should be killed with fire in the face.

This fucking child just had our university mocked, on air, for an extended period of time and the dumbass didn't even pick up on the fact that he was being openly made fun of.

Jesus Christ, what have you people done to my alma mater?

3. We can design materials implemented into military armor to save the lives of our soldiers
4. We can use nanotechnology to invent a fingernail sized chip that holds half a terabyte

But we can't take care of a fucking dog? What a fucking bunch of bullshit. Somebody vote HOOPS MALONE to a student senate seat.

We have a fucking vet school and we can't keep a dog...
Just imagine feeding ramses the fudge packing sheep to a couple of wolves.

2/25/2010 8:47:01 PM

I just found out about this today when my student senator (vet. school rep) sent out an email about this matter to all the classes and why she voted against it last night from what I can gather. So I guess even some vet. students feel this should not happen just to let you guys know. I know that we are out of touch from main campus and the activities that are occurring but I wish I would have known sooner this was happening.

2/25/2010 9:02:10 PM

Dog? Fuck that. Wolves or nothing.

2/25/2010 9:06:25 PM

I was behind this idea until I heard that idiot on 99.9 this morning. Adam Gold is a douchebag, but that student government kid was straight up retarded. I'd love to run for student government some time while I'm at State and make fun of idiots like that.

2/25/2010 9:10:11 PM

^^^ What was the reasoning. I can understand being concerned about animal welfare but considering that what is being talked about here is a fully domesticated animal there is no reason to think that it couldn't be made into a positive situation for the animal.
