Fredonia Struggles to Cope with Loss of the Mulldog

Giving an otherwise limp, lifeless, small village in Western New York (AKA Pennsylvania, AKA Ohio, AKA Canada) five strong years of pewchness, I was forced into retirement after finally completing almost all of my courses. Leaving Fredonia I could almost feel the wind coming from the sails as I hit the thruway to travel across the state back to Eastern New York.

Now, roughly two months after my departure, in what could only be described as a frantic, last-ditch attempt to salvage the greatness of the Mulldog, SUNY Fredonia has done what they should have done over five years ago, and made the Mulldog the centerpiece to their website:

That's right, finally after five years of rotating the ten minority students present on campus into every picture on the front page, Fredonia has decided to scrap such a technique in favor of the back of the Mulldog's head. Sitting front and center (where else?) the Mulldog is clearly engrossed in a riveting lecture on Descartes's theory of Difference. Shamelessly sporting an imposter "Fredonia Student-Athlete Day" shirt and the legendary crooked "*61" hat, the Mulldog is actively passing Critical Theory on his second vaunted attempt.

I'm not sure what type of royalties I am entitled to, but I'm pretty sure Fredonia should be paying for my summer internship, at least.

  1. Front row seat for the mulldog? What a dork. Did you have a crush on the professor or something?

  2. Dr. Birger Vanwesenbeeck and his European accent was the heart-throb of many of the ladies of ENGL 345 I suppose...however, the Mulldog must admit to have had a slight crush on his wife Iclal, also a member of the Fredonia State English faculty...Mrs. Iclal, clearly as awe-inspired with the Mulldog as he with her, graded me out in Medieval Literature with a letter grade F in our only go-round.

  5. Hard to gauge what day/year that was, as that shirt and hat was the Mulldogs wardrobe for about 85% of his days on campus.
