Tales from The Trip

Big Dawgs Tour: Louisville

There I was, minding my own business, doing what I do best, sleep, and Pops (Michael Kaltenmark/@MSKaltenmark) woke me up. 4am. He woke me up at 4am!

It was time to hit the road. The Big Dawgs Tour is finally underway.

So he loaded Butler Blue III (Trip) and I up, we picked up our colleague Tom Otero (@lockebyproxy) and before I knew it, the Built Ford Tough Blue Mobile had taken us from…

24 Hours of Booty Coming to Butler

The 24 Hours of Booty is coming to Butler University – June 29-30, 2012; 7 p.m. – 7 p.m.!

Yes, I just used the word, “booty.” No, this is not a round-the-clock, pirate-themed party that I’m hosting. And no, this is most certainly not risqué, although it could be depending on how you present yourself in Lycra.

Actuallly, 24 Hours of Booty is a 24-hour road cycling charity event designed…

Hoops Aside, March Offers Much Madness

I don’t even know what what madness means, but it’s March and I’ve got a lot to cover, so let’s get right to it.

Finally, the Shorty Awards ceremony has arrived. Held in NYC, the fourth annual, sold-out event will air online this evening at 7:30 p.m. I’ll be watching to find out if I have won the Shorty Award for the best use of short form media in the College Category.

Show Me Your Study Spot & Win!

Forget spring, I think summer has arrived on campus! The students went away on spring break and left the spring break weather with me. I’m not really complaining, but I still do have my winter coat on. (Bear with me, there’s prizes to be had…keep reading.)

At any rate, this perfect Bulldog weather has made campus much more open, accessible, lively and fun. The mild winter and now, balmy…

It’s My Birthday; I’ll Help Others If I Want To

It’s hard to believe, but my 8th birthday is quickly approaching. Tuesday, March 27th, is the big day, but in keeping with tradition, the Butler University Student Foundation will be holding a campus party for me on Friday, March 23, from 1-3 p.m., at the campus Bookstore and Starbucks in Atherton Union.

I hope you can come to my party, enjoy some Holy Cow Cupcakes, sign my card, get a pictur…

Blue Hen BBQ

Ok, I’ll shoot it to you straight, yes, I’m disappointed that my Dawgs are not in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. I’m even a little perturbed that we did not make the NIT either. However, it’s not for lack of effort, I assure you, and despite such disappointment, there is still something to play for…this season ain’t over yet!

It was announced this morning that the Butler Bulldogs w…

Butler’s Mascot, America’s Dog…Mascot Mentor?

Well by now you’ve probably seen the news, and it’s true, the Butler University mascot family is growing. Making his debut at the Butler Men’s Basketball game this Saturday, Feb. 18th is none other than Butler Blue III; my intern, my understudy, my successor.

We all knew this day would come. Even I knew it, but here’s the thing, I’m not going anywhere. Just because Blue III (or “Trip” as we’…

‘Good Feeling’ – Flo Rida (Super Bowl XLVI Recap)

I’m overdue on two things: 1.) a recap of my Super Bowl XLVI escapades, and 2.) another installment of “Blue 2unes.” Well, two birds, one stone, let’s go!

So why Flo Rida’s “Good Feeling?” Wait, you weren’t hoping for Madonna were you? Not happening. I went with “Good Feeling” for starters, because it  hit No. 1 on the Billboard Top 40 this past week, not to mention, Flo performed the song…
