A Question About the Volunteer

[volinca]

A long time ago someone told me that they took the Volunteer Mascot's gun away from him in relation to the Columbine shooting.

He later regained it but I was wondering if any of you guys knew about this or if it is true.

If I remember correctly, it was a combination of that and Dick Cheney shooting his best friend in the face.

I thought it had to do with the athletic program continually shooting itself in the foot!:gun:

Think about it, you can fire of a cannon, but your mascot cant have a fake gun.:ermm:

Where do you get off using logic on this board?

Like being forced to wear a seat belt in South Carolina and passing a guy on a motorcycle with no helmet.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm 95% sure he still carries it during basketball games. Don't know what the difference it makes from football to basketball.

By Volunteer, are y'all referring to the Davy Crockett mascot?

Don't tell Oklahoma State this...

John Adams said he felt uneasy at games with a gun in the hands of a Volunteer

I thought AJ took it

Maybe it had something to do with it being a Kentucky long rifle. It is Ky week after all.

Bravo. :rofl: :rofl: This might be the joke of the day. Please let me know your e-mail so I can send you your trophy!

They took it away after the Great Cumberland Avenue cheeseburger robbery of 2009. It was reinstated once all of Lane Kiffen's recruits were gone and the guarantee of nobody else being as asinine was established.
