Being Bully: ‘The time of my life’

Bully

 I have been a mascot for three years now and have had some of the best experiences of my life. The best sport I have worked as Bully has got to be Mississippi State football. Some of the experiences during football season include fanfare, Dawg Walk, riding out on the dog house and much more. Being inside the suit on game day has its ups and downs. The upside of being Bully in the suit is that you love seeing everybody. The downside could be how sweaty your clothes get while you’re in the suit. During basketball season being Bully is also fun. The best thing about being Bully is you get to see all the fans and take pictures with the kids. Sometimes I have to deal with kids climbing and hanging all over me. Most kids really love Bully and have a lot of fun visiting with Bully. Other times, I deal with kids that could be sad or scared of seeing Bully. You should never show your identity when you’re Bully because you always want kids to think you’re just a dog.
A football game  I will  remember most as being Bully was the Arkansas game two years ago. It was my first game to ride out on the dog house. We also ended up winning this game as well. Leading the team out is one of my best experiences as Bully. 
The best basketball game probably has to be when we beat Ole Miss at home two years ago. I worked the first half, and we were winning at halftime. It was a great game that we ended up winning 73-67.
