Imagine if Batman removed his mask - an event like that, but even better takes place Wednesday night in Founders
Imagine if Batman removed his mask.
An event like this, only better, takes place Wednesday night, in Founders Hall of all places.
The career of J. Denny Beaver the First comes to an end Wednesday night in Founders.
J. Denny Beaver's true identity is shrouded in mystery, but at halftime of the Bluffton-Defiance men's basketball game, the mystery will be resolved.
J. Denny will remove his mask, or in NCAA athletic terms - the game will feature the "beheading of J. Denny Weaver." The new Bluffton University mascot came to life in August 2010. The mascot behind the mask is a student, but the student's real identity is but a guess.
Never fear, another J. Denny Beaver will return next school year and the fun begins all over again. To read the history of J. Denny Beaver, click here.
For the record, The Icon's money thinks it's Don Schweingruber.
