America’s Dog Ready for Super Bowl XLVI

As the official mascot of Butler University, it’s only natural that I’m all-things Butler. As mascot, I’m a spokesdoggy, face, greeter, host, personality, leader and just all around ambassador for the university. Well, that’s how things started at least. Now, nearly eight years and two NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours later, I’ve added to my title and responsibilities as Butler’s Mascot,…

Giving the People What they Want

More Blue II. That seems to be what the people want and well, I’m happy to give it to them. I am just one dog, but that hasn’t slowed me down and in fact, with the launch of my new website this week, I’m only picking up steam.

My new site went live on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2012 at 8:30 AM. That first day the site took on 1, 300 visits! Coincidentally enough, I also surpassed 8,000 followers on…

New Website Offers True HOMEpage

I’m all over the World Wide Web. In fact, my online social networking portfolio rivals that of most humans. Yet, one thing I have always lacked was a true online home, a la website. Well, now that has changed as today I’m proud to announce the launch of my brand new website, Butler.edu/Blue2.
Note: My site is best viewed in Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari. The site gets a little lost in…

Summoning the Tooth Fairy

As you may have heard via my other social networking outlets, I had a little dental work done this past week. Now, I know what your thinking and no, I didn’t see the orthodontist for my trademark lower teeth. Instead, I went in for what I thought was to be a root canal on one of my upper fangs and much to my surprise, came away one tooth lighter. Oh, Tooth Fairy…pay up!

While my teeth may…

Name is Blue, but You Can Call Me Butter…

…Because I’m on a roll! Okay, bad joke, but I am on a bit of a hot streak these past few days and I would be remiss if I didn’t share.

Let’s be honest, my whole life has been blessed. Plus, one could take a look back at these past couple of years and note that consecutive NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four appearances and all that goes with it qualifies me for having a “hot hand” or “paw,”…

Clothes Make the Dawg

It was the famous author and humorist, Mark Twain who once said, “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.” I suppose the same could be said for a dog, after all, a flea-bitten fur ball is a dime a dozen, but throw on some threads on the mangiest of mutts and much of society will swoon.

So was the case on two occasions this past November which required my…

‘Anna Sun’ – Walk the Moon

The latest installment of “Blue 2unes” takes us just next door, down I-74 and to the Buckeye State’s city on the river, Cincinnati, Ohio. Think Cincinnati and the brain conjures up images of Skyline Chilli, Charlie Hustle, WKRP, Kings Island, the former Mr. Jessica Simpson,  Montgomery Inn, the Ickey Shuffle, and maybe even Chris Sabo’s Rec Specs. Well, prepare to add Walk the Moon to that list…

Kindess is Cool

Kindness. I’m totally reliant upon it. In fact, I’ve received more than my fair share of it. And, I really enjoy reciprocating that kindness and seeing others that do the same. So, when I was told about The Kindness Cab rolling into the Crossoads of America, I knew I had to hail it to Butler University.

You see, at Butler University, you can get an education in liberal arts, but no matter what…
