Are there any former or current Peruna Handlers on this message board? Just wondering. I may need to get some information from you in the near future.

When you step in it, it should wash off with soap and water.

You'll probably have to put in some overtime out at his stable, because it looks like he's not going to be getting much exercise on Saturdays this season.

Not me...
He's still probably going to be doing more running this football season than I will be doing.

Even if people weren't handlers....
Does anybody have any good stories, pictures, video, etc. of Peruna? You can either e-mail me or PM me.
Or post it here to share with everybody.

Probably had something to do with the ATOs getting kicked off of campus.

I don't know the exact year, but I'm pretty sure it was around the time that the ATOs got kicked off campus, that also being the reason why.
The ATOs were not the only group responsible for running Peruna throughout the years. I believe there was a group called the Blue Shirts (I don't remember exactly) that ran him for a while before that. I think they also were responsible for a regular horse and a dog that were also unofficial mascots. I only know what history I dug up in old yearbooks and from the official history.

Call Joe Redwine Patterson, former head cheerleader from 1947-1948. He can tell you some good stories about Peruna.
