Introducing Ðǿմ«Ã½’s New Mascot, Blue

Message from Kool Kat to the Ðǿմ«Ã½ Community (as delivered at his retirement celebration during Ðǿմ«Ã½’s corn roast on September 16, 2008)

Meow. After over 20 years of calling Ðǿմ«Ã½ my home, it is with mixed emotions that I am announcing my retirement.

I have cheered at hundreds of sporting events, and walked in many St. Patrick’s Day Parades, sometimes through wind, sleet and snow. But I have to say that overall, Ðǿմ«Ã½ has made my job easy; its teams often dominating every sport they compete in, and its fans encouraging them to countless victories.

For these reasons, I leave with my head high, and my whiskers wide.

But before I head south to my luxurious retirement condo in Florida, it is with great pleasure that I introduce to you my trusty replacement, who will continue the legacy of supporting the best college in the world. Please give a warm welcome to my bear friend, and your new mascot, BLUE!
