Peruna @ Game

All 3 had stories in the DMN.

Peruna didn't have a story about him going to Hawaii. There were stories about him before that when JJ made his deal with Maddy.

The students made their decision, through the Student Senate, that Peruna was the ONLY mascot of SMU and should be the ONLY live animal at Gerald J. Ford Stadium for football games or other sporting events. The vote was 32 in favor, 3 opposed.

Support of the two horses given by Mrs. Pickens after SMU begged her to give them is tantamount to opposition to the students of SMU.

Do you want the students - the heart of SMU who will be loyal forever - to have a voice in campus governance, or do you want them to have no power to do anything when decisions are forced upon them by football coaches and SMU administrators who will serve their time here and leave?

There was an attempt to devalue Peruna at the Hawaii Bowl by having Maddie's two horses ride onto the field anytime Peruna would do his thing. If you were at the game, you know what I am talking about.

This latter point says it all. The athletic dept. doesn't care about spitting all over the students. By the end of the season, they'd already reneged on the agreement made between reps of the student senate, 2 player reps and the administration.

That "agreement" was crap. Ask the Peruna Handler/Student Senate member mentioned in SMU's press release.

Exactly. It was only done to try to placate the Peruna faithful.

well, last I checked Peruna leads the team onto the field, faces the direction we're going, and traverses the field after we score. Thumbs up Peruna.

That's not exactly a story. It's a mention in the first paragraph of a story.

The story's headline:

SMU will saddle up the pony and bring the band to Hawaii
