In the past butler soccer has been quite succesful even managing last year to be ranked nationally. For such a small university I think that was an amazing feat, now their campaign starts again for Horizon league supremacy this Friday Sept. 25 at 5 pm. Butler's adversaries will be the league’s...

So, I hate to admit it, but I have been extremely lame this spring break! With the exception of some fun NUVO internship activity and putting the final touches on my story which will run next week (YAY!), my spring break life quickly disintegrated into a lot of studying and hanging out with small children...

So I got a special package in the mail on Wednesday morning from a group of 20 (or so) elementary school students. I must say, this package couldn't have come at a better time as I was feeling quite tired and irritable after the Butler Bulldogs men's basketball team took one on the chin late...

Yep, I need your vote yet again as the folks at Bissell are looking for their next pet model in their Most Valuable Pet Contest . You may remember I entered the Bissell MVP Contest last year in hopes to try land my mug on a vacuum box. While I got a lot of votes, I didn’t seem to have enough support...

Why is March my month? Well, it's my birth month and if that's not good enough for you, then because Butler University says so! According to today's Butler University "NewsFlash," our e-newsletter for alumni and friends, the Butler University Student Foundation (BUSF) will be helping...

How about a new movie to start this post? That should serve as a nice little attention-getter. The video below is of me, just after the introduction of the Butler Bulldog starters as I make my way across the court to retrieve my over-sized rawhide bone from the Dawg Pound. This video was shot on Friday...

Another day is in the books, and still no missing Butler Bulldog mascot costumes have surfaced. I can't say that it isn't for lack of effort on my part that these costumes have yet to be found. From internet campaigns to morning radio shows, I did my fair share of hitting the beat today. This...

Summertime BLUEs was just a play on words. Get it? It’s summertime, my name is Blue, there’s the famous song “ Summertime Blues ,” and I needed a title for this thing. Anyway, my dad thought it was a good idea. Sometimes I just do things to humor him. It’s not really the blues that I have, but just a...

Unfortunately, the Butler University men’s basketball season came to a close yesterday afternoon as our Bulldogs were defeated in overtime by the University of Tennessee in the second round of the NCAA Tournament by a score of 76-71. It most assuredly wasn’t our best showing on the court this season...

Well, how did my web cameras affect your productivity on the job this past week? Add that to March Madness and by May you’ll be on the streets looking for work. In addition to staring on my own lifecasting network this week, I also got to meet a new friend on Thursday. Her name is Reese, as in “Reese...

The Butler Bulldogs took down Horizon League conference foe, Cleveland State, on Saturday afternoon by the score of 51-46 . It appeared that a lot of you took my advice and came to Hinkle Fieldhouse for the game. There was a crowd of more than 8,000, which included those participating in Alumni Day,...

Vote Green in 2008! And no, I'm not talking about all of those environmentally friendly initiatives that seem to be so in vogue. Nor am I referencing the up and coming presidential election. I've got nothing against saving the planet, but Blue doesn't do politics. What I am referencing, however...

Another game, another photo opportunity. Your online edition of the Indianapolis Star ( http://www.indystar.com/ ) again features my mug. Only this time, it's post oversized bone pickup, unlike pre bone pickup shot from last game. Once again, Heather Charles took the picture which can be viewed along...

We fought hard tonight, but it's the end of the season as of tonight. We finished 5th in conference, but lost in the quarter finals of the Horizon League tournament . We played Valpo and gave it our best. We were all sad that we lost, but we couldn't help but laugh on the bus at probably one...

This week was really crazy! It's kind of funny to me how the only schools that we fly to in the Horizon League are UIC and Loyola in Chicago. It's actually cheaper to fly there than to rent a bus, and I can't stop laughing at that. Well this year we had to play on Tuesday, Wednesday, and...
