The LA Times Blog has an article on the myth and urban legend of one of the Georgetown Hoyas in the early days was a war time hero. This scrappy mutt/ mixed breed was sneaked over to France in WWI and was injured when exposed to German gas. He went on to sell war bonds on returning to the states. sooo urban myth is true!

Something’s brewing in the news of if and when Auburn’s bald eagle mascot, Spirit will fly in Saturday’s game. Apparently the bird zigged when it should have zagged and hit a skybox in the game against Mississippi State, September 10. According to the the loveliest village blog video, Spirit is fine and just giving other mascots a turn to bring it!

No love for a retired UConn Mascot

Newstimes.com writes a sad and cautionary tale of a mascot’s early retirement and not going to the ‘show’ so to speak in Houston for NCAA finals. After beating out 350 others at try outs, Ryan Toussaint, spent two years as the UConn Mascot and hung up his fur early this year and will be watching the finals from a recliner like many others this week.

No love for a Husky but plenty for Butler’s Blue 2 bulldog.

Sportspage magazine says there’s no love for the UConn Husky. Sounds as if Blue 2, Butler’s Mascot is already in Houston for the Championship and the final four game. Blue 2 was given “a one-time exemption granted by the NCAA which does not permit animals to attend the annual championship tournament.” GUESS IT WAS Blue 2 that helped Butler’s cinderella dreams continue on to Monday night! Should be a great match up with plenty of Blue in the dome!
