Here's an extremely good dog!
Look who's at the arena, though he can't go inside. It's @ButlerBlue3! pic.twitter.com/84mktMwao6

I wish I could stop writing, because just the tweet above is enough for this post. But no, this story doesn't have a happy ending. The meanies at the NCAA wouldn't let Butler Blue III into the arena for reasons because of "protocol," apparently. But come on, why would anyone say no to these faces?
Prehistoric dog. Woolly even. @ButlerBlue3 #GoDawgs pic.twitter.com/g32dD0NZeY

As Butler Blue points out, didn't Butler Blue II prove himself last year?
It's a shame this has to be the story. Tell me @ButlerBlue2 didn't add something to Final Fours in '10 & '11. https://t.co/SVzbRCG66D

He's a good dog, no matter what the NCAA says.
