What the fuck is a Hoosier?

Alex on 23 Feb 2008 - 12:54am #

It's probably in the same family as a Biliken or maybe even a Hokie but I could be wrong

I'm not sure what a Hoosier is, but I do know that a Hokie is entirely made up. Brief history lesson: Va Tech's mascot was a turkey or chicken of some sort, never really discerned and people would always call it 'A Hokey(Hokie) bird.' As in a weird or strange bird. Eventually they just dropped the 'bird' and it became the school mascot of the Hokie. But it is not actually a real animal.

Ledcow - my first comment was spoken with a ton of sarcasm

Well now you've been educated about why that school has that mascot. Feel enlightened.

And a Hoosier is someone who owned a farm without slaves.

And then there's the Razorbacks.
Biologists will admit that a a wild Razorback hasn't been seen in decades. The stuffed Razorback at my local bar is acutally a javelina.

But we do have feral pigs that terrorize the countryside, killing all kinds of domesticated animals until they are "harvested" by one of the local "hunters".

They are huge and scary.

So are the pigs.

So we have that going for us

(gawd I hate the SEC.)
