Looks like the university may need a new mascot.

Is there an animal called the "usedtowin?"

Paging Woody Hayes, Woody Hayes, you have a call at the front desk.

Hey, if we can still have a grizzly bear on our state flag here in California (and if University of California's mascot can be the "Bears" with a grizzly bear logo), even though the last one in the state was shot 100 years ago, Michigan can keep the "Wolverines" mascot. (We do still have plenty of black bears in California, but grizzlies have been extinct in the state forever).

In other news, there was a story last week about a wolverine being found in the wild in California, even though they were thought to be extinct in the state for the last 100 years. But there appears to be only one, oddly enough, with no mate and no family members. Nobody can figure out where the hell it came from, since the nearest other place where wolverines are known to exist in the wild is in the mountains of Idaho, several hundred miles away with lots of desert in between.

It probably choked...

He is survived by his pals Danny, Daryl, and Aardvark.

/er wait didn't Aardvark die
//oh and Daryl definitely died

What's up, bub?

Sad (grew up around there)

Englebert Slaptyback: MINDEN, Mich. (AP) - The Wolverine State has lost its only known wild wolverine.
...
That year, coyote hunters spotted a wolverine near Ubly, about 90 miles north of Detroit. Naturalists have followed it since then.


Well where did you lose him? He's ain't a set of car keys, is he? It's not as though he's in-con-f*cking-spicuos, is it?

Goddammit, that shouldn't have made me laugh out loud, but it did, so um, thanks for the looks I'm getting now.

Jument: 28 pounds?!? I always thought wolverines where little critters, around the size of a housecat and very lean. Maybe 6-8 pounds tops*. What do I know, not much I guess.

* excluding Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, and Hugh Jackman

They're hardcore.

And for the record, folks, Wiki says that the Detroit Zoo has wolverines and had two born there in captivity. Although I sure as hell don't remember them being there, but aside from a couple of 5Ks I haven't been to the zoo recently either. This was just the only one we had show up in the wild for a couple of hundred years IIRC.

Better that than a tree, anyhow, amiright?

Xanthan: um... I hope it was THIS Wolverine...

He looks almost exactly like King Douchenozzle von Krunk....
