The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs are having a tough year on the gridiron.

In their first season under new head coach Sonny Combie, the Bulldogs have a losing record. While Louisiana Tech did get a win on Saturday, beating Middle Tennessee State to improve to 3-6 on the season, it looks unlikely that the Bulldogs will get to a bowl game this season. With three games left on the year, the Bulldogs will need to win tough games against UTSA and UAB, as well as a win against Charlotte, to get to .500.

But the Bulldogs do have something incredible going for them.

Their mascot Tech XXII, who has a sweeter ride than you.

The bulldog rides around campus and more in a remote-controlled Bugatti. Here he was before taking the field Saturday against Middle Tennessee State:

Tech XXII takes his ride out on campus as well. During Homecoming Weekend, he rolled down Sorority Lane before heading to the stadium:

He even helps out on the recruiting trail. When three-star quarterback Evan Bullock, who committed to Louisiana Tech this past summer, was in town to see a Bulldogs game, Tech XXII was sure to ride on over for a photo:

ESPN even caught this video during the broadcast today of Tech XXII rolling around in the end zone:

Even if the Bulldogs’ football season comes to an end without an appearance in a bowl game, you will not be without wholesome Tech XXII content in the winter. Tech XXII also makes appearances at basketball games:

But here’s hoping the Bulldogs somehow close out the season strong and earn that bowl berth, so we can see more of Tech XXII riding around in his blue Bugatti.
