Message: [QUOTE="itsasport, post: 4679012, member: 306"] My father was on the UConn football team the year that Johnathan II chased the Brown Bear (cub) up a tree. There is a picture of it in the yearbook. When I first saw it, I thought that it was staged; but, my dad said it was real. However, most embarrassing to Brown was the score of the game- Brown got slaughtered (at home.) My father told me that there were signs saying, "Welcome Cow College." In those days, the Ivy league schools had the best teams in the East. Uconn was just a new agricultural college. I also liked the big, pure white husky mascots that lasted at least until the 70's. When they galloped along the sidelines it was a very impressive sight. [/QUOTE]
