Higher Ed TV: Blue has no clue where the 2 missing Butler mascot costumes are

September 11th, 2008 by Karine Joly

No, it’s not another episode of the famous kid show Blue’s Clues, but it could be.

Butler Blue 2 is the official and furry mascot of Butler University (as all you sports fans probably know)

According to Blue’s blog (yeah, I know, dog blogs aren’t that common, but this puppy even got a greater-than-life statue on campus and his own YouTube channel), the mascot costumes used during games have been missing (or should I say stolen?)

With the help of his personal videographer/videoeditor, Brad Ward, this smart bulldog has decided to use the power of social media to find the costumes with this 5-minute video (already viewed 203 times as I’m writing this post).

I found the video a bit too long, but it could be because I’m not a bulldog-person.

However, I really like the whole idea behind this video. It’s funny, engaging and based on a true story.

There could be a whole series behind this whodunnit story. Since Blue will be replacing his missing sidekicks at the games until the costumes are back one way or another, some folks might wonder who’s benefiting from this crime.

Any idea, Blue?

UPDATE: Phlash, UWGB’s own Mascot has decided to help Blue as shown in this video:
