Butler Blue III - the bulldog mascot of Butler University - had photos posted to his Twitter account (@ButlerBlue3) of him braving Cincinnati's elements, posing outside Great American Ball Park with statues of former Big Red Machine greats Pete Rose and Joe Morgan, as well as a scenic shot of Blue in Northern Kentucky with Cincinnati's skyline in the background.
The photos were posted in advance of Butler's basketball game Tuesday night against No. 5 Xavier at Cintas Center. The Bulldogs stunned No. 1 Villanova at Butler on Saturday.
