As far as mascots go, I'm a Wisconsin Badger fan and would advise against trying to start something with Bucky Badger. He may have a smile on his face but even large predators in nature and, I would hope, sports fans, know that you don't want to tangle with a badger. They will go ferociously nuts in a heartbeat if attacked.
