I went to college at Missouri, which, at the time, was not exactly very good at sports.
Because Missouri was not exactly very good at sports, the highlight of Mizzou football games often came before the game even started. As I recall, MU would play a pregame video, in which an animated tiger would run through campus on this delightful little jaunt that ended when it came upon a helmet or a football or something, which carried the logo of the opposing team.
The crowd would scream, and the the tiger would attack the helmet/football/whatever it was, and we'd all go nuts. It was absolutely the best part of Missouri football. I feel like I cannot emphasize this point enough.
I bring this up because I was thinking about the tiger today, when I heard the new Georgetown barking dog video.
Georgetown's old barking dog video was … super old. (A Georgetown spokesman says it dates back to when the team played at the Cap Centre, so close to 20 years, probably.) And guys, that dog you hear — that isn't even the proper dog. Yeah. It's just some random audio clip of a dog barking.
That all changes this season. Because Jack the Bulldog has been in the studio, working hard. Laying down tracks. Not sleeping until he had achieved perfection, probably.
The result is a new Georgetown Dog bark video, which features Jack the Bulldog's real-life barks, and improved growling action. Take a look!
You'll be able to catch the video again when Georgetown opens its season Saturday at the Verizon Center.
