He is the GREATEST Mascot in Sports... (The History of Wisconsin's Bucky the Badger)

[@ttownsend3252]

Great job. The first documented use of the term “badger” to describe the lead miners of SW Wisconsin was from a map drawn by Isaac W. Glines (1820-1898). On his birds eye view map of Shullsburg, WI in 1838 he marked “Badger Hill” which is right next to present day Hwy 11. Present day Pickanax Street was known as Badger Point on that hill. This 1838 map by Glines is in the Wisconsin Historical Society Archives. The city park in Shullsburg is called Badger Park and is home to a terrific Mining Museum and tour. Badger Park is also home of the Shullsburg Miners football team.

Go Badgers, Bucky is awesome.

[@lisagodoy1057]

I also think Bucky is the greatest mascot of sports and Wisconsin in my opinion

[@lewtown]

The BYU mascot from a few years ago was pretty good too but that was a one off

[@Punk_On_Demand]

Bucky is and will always be my favorite college mascot. In my house as a child the image of Bucky Badger was as common a character than Mickey Mouse, Buggs Bunny or Big Bird. My mom attended Wisconsin and was even a cheerleader there in her youth. So she's would show her pride often.

Brutus got his ass kicked by the Ohio Bobcat.

[@davidportnoy3237]

I'm pretty sure Brutus Buckeye and the Oregon duck are by far the most popular mascots.

[@za4109]

Nope. Sorry. Definitely Bucky

[@BuckyBadgerUW]

@@za4109 I agree!

[@Punk_On_Demand]

The Oregon duck is essentially Donald Duck, and Brutus Buckeye is basically a nut, do you get it.... *nudge nudge* he's a nut?!? 😆😂🤣

[@cq8424]
