The Pioneer Pub Adds Boone Mural

(above) The Boone Mural at the Pioneer Bar is sure to become a tourist attraction for disaffected DU alumni

Drivers passing by the Pioneer Bar at 2401 S. University now can see a six foot high mural of DU's embattled mascot Boone. Stop by the Pioneer and tell them "Job well done."

And speaking of Boone, viewers can catch a glimpse of Boone in DU Athletics' new 2009-10 Highlight Video that came out this week.

It's amazing to watch Boone's resurgence on campus. The athletics staff is now including him on the scoreboard video during games and in web-based videos, and the Ruckus costume is nowhere to be seen...Now businesses are getting into the act. It's great to see what Let's Go DU and its readers have been able to do in a matter of months...

Mascot Update: We sent the Boone Costume off to Canada this summer to be repaired and cleaned by the manufacturer.

As I understand it, two new students are ready to take over for Scott this season. Scott has graduated but luckily for us is getting his MBA at DU so he will be available to help with the transition.

We plan on flying Boone to Minnesota in Feb. for the Gopher series.

Should be a great year.

I believe Ruckus was found as road kill on I-70 out by Grand Junction ;-)

I heard he was skewered in Boone, Colorado near Pueblo.

Ha.

I am a Colorado native and I had never even heard of Boone, CO. Looked it up -- 323 people over 0.4 sq mi. No wonder I had never heard of it.

Lets Go DU: educating you one day at a time... :-)
