Butler Blue II – ‘In Memoriam’

Katie McGill

Blue was a wonderful member of the Butler family. He was not only a mascot, but a pet to everyone on campus. Losing him is like losing one of my own. Running into him on campus was truly the highlight of week. I remember seeing him after a really rough day and I was immediately happier. I bent down to pet him and received lots of love. All my stress was gone. I was heartbroken to learn of his…

Been a Butler fan since 94. Was there at Hinkle when you were introduced and fell in love you with immediately. It’s been so much fun watching you over the years. I loved seeing the men’s basketball team give you good luck rubs over the years and then watching you trot across the court to retrieve your ginormous dog bone. Loved watching you during all the Final Four festivities, especially seeing…

My parents and brother went to Butler, so I have always had Butler U in my life. I just fell in love with you Blue, during the NCAA runs, and started following you on Twitter. You allowed us to become apart of your extended family!! You will be missed by many. RIP Blue and may you look down on Butler U and continue to guide us all from above! Go give Tony Hinkle a BIG BULLDOG kiss!!

Blue, my daughters have grown up from toddlers to middle school students during your years of service, and I’m so thankful that we have a lifetime of their pictures with you. We have embraced Trip with open hearts, but there will never be another Blue quite like you! This quote from one of your media stories today perfectly says everything that I can’t:

“Symbols matter. Uniforms, flags,…

Watching Blue at the Final Four games, I began following him on Twitter and just fell in love with him. Blue had such a sweet face and the pictures of him and Baby Bro had to be my favorites. He was such a wonderful mascot for Butler as are Michael and his family. RIP Blue we all loved you.

I will never forget working behind the front desk the first year of the HRC and hanging out with Blue II whenever Michael came to work out. I would always have to stop him from shredding the basketballs, and he would get huffy with me, but I had so much fun spending time with him in the mornings. He would always make sure he came up to me before he left for a hug goodbye. He was such a big…
