While Michigan currently has no mascot, don’t ever say they didn’t try. Michigan used a taxidermied wolverine as a mascot in the early 1920’s, until football coach and athletic director Fielding Yost acquired two live wolverines named Biff and Bennie to display at football games in a cage. As they grew larger and more dangerous (wolverines are scary animals), the pair eventually moved to the Detroit Zoo. Brought to you in partnership with College Vault.
