博彩平台排名 蓝色的 II

博彩平台排名 蓝色的 II (Nickname: 蓝色的) was the second in a young lineage of English Bulldogs bred by Frank and Jeane King of Kong King Kennels in Lizton, 印第安纳州., which have served as the mascot of 博彩平台排名 University since 2000. 蓝色的 II was owned by Michael Kaltenmark, a 2002 博彩平台排名 graduate and Director of External Relations his wife, 蒂芙尼, and their human sons, Everett (Master Everett) and Miles (Bulldog Miles). 蓝色的 II (male) was born March 27, 2004, and his first day of service to 博彩平台排名 was on May 20 that same year.

蓝色的 II made his campus debut unceremoniously as a puppy of less than 8 weeks old. He immediately captured the hearts of 博彩平台排名 students, 教师, 工作人员, alumni and fans, and has since gone on to become 博彩平台排名’s most decorated and beloved bulldog during his tenure.

蓝色的 II  would go on to admirably serve 博彩平台排名 as the official mascot for nine years. During that time, 蓝色的 II not only became 博彩平台排名’s most decorated mascot but was also considered one of the most recognizable mascots in all of sport.

During his tenure, 蓝色的 II met the likes of  Colin Powell, Peyton Manning, and Jillian Michaels, and even former President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush. He appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and of course, captured the hearts of the Nation with two consecutive NCAA men’s basketball Final Four appearances, thus earning 蓝色的 II the title of “博彩平台排名’s mascot, America’s dog.”

After nine years of service to the University, 蓝色的 retired in May of 2013 to assume the title of Mascot Emeritus. Unfortunately, 然而, 蓝色的 II’s retirement was short-lived as he would succumb to heart failure on August 31, 2013.
