Badgers in various forms have been recognized as the
school mascot for decades. The version currently known as Bucky, sporting
a cardinal and white letter sweater, was first drawn in 1940 by artist
Art Evans. At that time, the badger went by names like Benny, Buddy, Bernie,
Bobby and Bouncey. Art Lentz, the department's publicity director, had
the idea to bring the mascot to life.
The original badger mascot was too vicious to control.
On more than one occasion, the live badger escaped handlers before a sideline
hero recaptured the animal with a flying tackle. It was decided in the
interest of fan and player safety that Wisconsin's mascot be retired to
the Madison Zoo. The Badger Yearbook replaced the live badger with a small
raccoon named Regdab (badger backwards) and passed it off as a "badger
in a raccoon coat."
In 1949, a student in the university's art department,
Connie Conrad, was commissioned to mold a paper-mache badger head. Gymnast
and cheerleader, Bill Sagal, of Plymouth, Wis., was directed by homecoming
chair Bill Sachse, to wear the outfit at the homecoming game. A contest
was staged to name the popular mascot. The winner was Buckingham U. Badger,
or Bucky. The name apparently came from the lyrics in a song which encouraged
the football team to "buck right through that line."
Bucky Badger has persevered through the years, even surviving
a threat by then assistant attorney general, Howard Koop, in 1973. He
suggested that Bucky be replaced by Henrietta Holstein, a loveable and
productive cow. Koop argued that "kids love cows. A generation could
grow up supporting the university and Henrietta Holstein." Koop's
effort to overthrow Bucky failed.
