In doing so, the Buffaloes shattered many school, conference and NCAA playoff records. The season saw the Buffs begin the season ranked 10th-nationally and climb as high as as third in the AFCA poll before dropping to ninth prior to their final game. Victories over four nationally-ranked opponents, six games scoring 50 or more points, eight of 45 or more, two home crowds in excess 18,000 fans, a total of 83,271 for all home games and 36,508 on the road adds up to over 119,000 people who saw the exciting brand of winning football played by West Texas A&M in 2008. A great season, and one to remember.

The thundering sound of a buffalo was nothing compared to the noise raised in 1922 when West Texas A&M University set out to select an official school mascot . In the midst of a public debate in the Administration Building auditorium at the beginning of the 20th century, Parson Gouph, an old Panhandle cowboy, strolled down the aisle and took a seat ..Getting permission to speak, he said that while riding the T-Anchor Ranch range in 1882 he and another cowboy shot a buffalo where the old Administration Building stands ..He thought the buffalo would be an appropriate mascot ..The students arose en masse to approve the suggestion . During the fall of 1970, W .J ..Helm of Plains Chevrolet in Amarillo arranged transportation of a young buffalo from a ranch in the Oklahoma Panhandle to the University ..“Little Joe” made several appearances at football games ..In 1977, the University permitted a live mascot on the field ..In a campus contest, the name “Thunder” was given to a baby buffalo, donated by R .J ..(Bob) Lee of the Big Texan Steak Ranch ..Thunder was nicknamed “Lollipop”, and since that time, a buffalo has roamed the sidelines of all home WTAMU football games .. “Thunder VI”, nicknamed “Sadee”, was retired and replaced by “Thunder VII”, known as “Charlie, Jr .,” or “C .J .,” but he unexpectedly died in May of 2006 ..Shortly thereafter, in June, 2006, the University received a set of twins, “Thunder VIII and Thunder IX”, known as “Jack and Liz .” The half-siblings were donated to the University by Jack and Liz Longbotham of Abilene . Jack was retired during the 2008 football season and a new buffalo, ‘Thunder X’, nicknamed ‘Bentley’ has taken over the mascot duties ..Trained and led by the official WTAMU handlers, the Herdsman, ‘Buffs Up’ Hand Sign ‘Thunder X’ continues the WT tradition of a live buffalo leading .
