The tradition started when a bluetick coonhound was found abandoned during a UT football game. The dog was adopted by a local family who then donated it to the university. The canine quickly became popular among the student body and the decision was made to make it the official mascot. Smoky has attended countless Tennessee football games, serving as a symbol of pride and school spirit.

Reviews for "The Smoky Tennessee Mascot's Impact on College Traditions"
1. Jen - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Smoky Tennessee Mascot". From the description, I was expecting a thrilling and action-packed story, but instead, it felt slow and lacking in excitement. The characters were one-dimensional and the plot was predictable. Overall, it just didn't live up to my expectations and I wouldn't recommend it.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - I couldn't even finish "Smoky Tennessee Mascot". The writing was incredibly dull and the story dragged on without any real direction. The dialogue was cheesy and the characters felt flat and uninteresting. I found myself skimming through the pages, hoping for something to grab my attention, but it never happened. I regret wasting my time and money on this book.
3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Smoky Tennessee Mascot" as I'm a fan of stories set in small towns, but this one fell flat for me. The plot felt disjointed and the pacing was off. The main character lacked depth and I found it hard to connect with any of the other characters. Additionally, the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying. Unfortunately, I can't say I enjoyed this book.
