Beheading’ reveals real J. Denny(s)

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 14, 2013 - 9:36pm

Bluffton University mascot J. Denny Beaver is one busy beaver, as appearances at about 70 events (and counting) this academic year would attest J. Denny is so in demand, in fact, that it has taken three Bluffton students to perform his duties.

Their identities were revealed at halftime of the men’s basketball game on Feb. 13, during a “beheading” ceremony that traditionally marks the only time that college mascots remove their costume heads in public.
