I first found out about Blue when scrolling through the NY Post/TMZ website and saw a picture of him on a plane with the pilots heading to the final 4 game. I’ll never forget that picture and the smile it gave me. I quickly became obsessed after I learned he had this own twitter and I could even view him via ustream in his office. I might live in NJ but I am a huge fan. I wish I had t…

My heart was BROKEN and TORN yesterday afternoon when I came home from school, went on my Instagram, and saw the post that Blue III posted about Blue’s passing. I was sobbing so much, and I couldn’t believe that he was gone. He touched so many people’s hearts and he was special to everyone. Whenever I was having a bad day, I always loved to see his posts on Instagram and his tweets on Twitter and…

As an “adopted Bulldog” (I married into it), I have enjoyed watching Blue II from his first days on campus.

He captured everyone’s attention even…

Blue, thank you for all the joy you gave me seeing you during the Final Four with your bone and in your various photos and…

I think i’m coming here more as a fan of sports, animals and mascots in general more so then as a fan of Butler. Basketball was never my favorite sport and i didn’t live near where Butler is located. But i learned of Blue II and III and fell in love. I’m sad that he’s gone. Rest easy Blue II. The twitter handle section isn’t working so i’ll just leave it here.

Whether it was on twitter and flickr or during the national TV coverage of his two Final Four appearances, Blue was a true ambassador for Butler University, collegiate athletics, and sportsmanship writ large. God bless and godspeed, Blue. You will be missed but never forgotten. –Big…

On behalf of your friends at UWM, my deepest condolences go out to the Kaltenmarks and the entire Butler community. Blue II always brought a smile to my face each time I saw that lovable mug on TV. See you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge … I’m sure you are over there telling some great stories of your travels already.
