This is all I can think of when faced with the existence of the Wisconsin Badgers. It’s a flash animation. To preserve the sanity of our regular visitors, I’m going to make you click “more” to see it — otherwise it will auto-run every time someone loads our home page, and may drive that someone nuts.

The snake reminds me of James Southerland. Slender but deadly. And I think it may have one of those slim-line beards.

(I have no idea who or what the mushroom represents.)

By the way, if SU gets knocked out of the tournament by Wisconsin this year, after having lost in the 2nd round to Milwaukee’s Best last season, I am going to officially declare a Syracusian vendetta against America’s Dairyland. (At least the Giants beat the Packers in the playoffs this year.)
