As much as I love collies, they seem to have their share of health issues (like a lot of pure breeds). Since the first Lady Rev was a mutt - and a rescue at that - how cool would it be to go back to our roots? I mean we did win our only natty when a rescue mutt was our mascot…
Should the next Reveille be a mutt (again)?

Not a chance.
But would be cool if they did.
And that's all I'm going to think about this

Imagine having a mutt *and* singing the 1st verse of the war hymn. Talk about going back to our roots....
Do you have any idea how much money the university has invested in the collie image for marketing purposes?
Not a chance.

Mutt Rev would be great. And I think a better fit too. We're much more the underdog mutt than the high maintenance purebred.
Should stick to collies.

I very much agree that we should sing the first verse but it was written 20 years after what's now the second verse. No roots there.
The first verse was added after the fact, was soundly rejected by the students, and has never been sung.
No, stick to border collies.
Blue Lacy, dammit
official dog breed of the great state of Texas

I would rather have rough collies than border collies

Go home sip, you're drunk.
RELOAD!
Belgian Malinois in full tactical gear. If the corps has to be the face of A&M, go all in the military side of things.

Agreed on breed but Red Lacy I think has better markings. I currently have a (tripod) Red Lacy, best dog I have ever had (and have had labs, beagles and shepherds).
You could easily find a mutt that looks like a collie
Why don't we just get a herd of various herding breeds?
It's not like we can't afford the dog food or the vet bills.

On the other hand, your daughter probably knows the difference between "your" and "you're".

This is the problem. A mutt would be great for several reasons:
- Hybrid vigor
- Great PR for rescuing a dog from the pound over spending thousands on a pure bred
- Return to the original Miss Rev tradition.
But you can't brand an ever changing dog. The collie is branded now and millions have been spent doing that. I don't see the higher ups ever walking that back.
Fwiw, these are pure bred collies:
They come in two coat types, 3 (4 if you separate out mostly white) colors:
I like the merles:

I actually don't think this would be quite that big of a deal. A&M easily has the resources to produce and trademark a bespoke mark/likeness for each new Reveille every decade or so, and I think it would pay for itself in merch.
I vote for dachshunds. Though they may be small, they are ferocious.

She does! Mostly because I taught her though. Thanks for catching my slip up

If I had my say it would be a Belgian Malanois. Smartest and most fearless damn breed on the planet. Just like we want our football team. In fact, it's the primary dog the Navy Seals use. They took one with them when they took out bin Laden. Those damn dogs are even trained to parachute out of aircraft!
This color (Blue Lacy)...
Belgian Malanois
Smart and ferocious.......they are all in to get the job done

Rule #1
On the other hand, this is a thread about dogs so never mind. And remember, you said it, not me.
They do the same with German Shepherds as well. They use both breeds.
