Chief Osceola and Renegade have dazzled Florida State fans with tribe's approval for nearly 50 years

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — It’s minutes before kickoff at Doak Campbell Stadium, and all eyes are on Chief Osceola and Renegade.

With Florida State’s famous war chant echoing from the bleachers and Seminoles players holding their helmets high, Chief Osceola directs Renegade toward midfield while carrying a flaming spear. Renegade, a speckled Appaloosa horse, pauses on the Seminoles logo and rears its front legs, positioning Osceola to thrust the 8-foot, garnet-and-gold-feathered spear into the ground.
