My New-Found Love for SMU’s Diminutive Mascot

I’m told by someone who would know that SMU is going to unveil a new mascot at the Navy game, on the 17th. Anyone hear anything about this? The Internet isn’t talking to me right now. Apparently June Jones is doing the same thing for SMU that he did for Hawaii, when he upgraded them from the Rainbows to the Rainbow Warriors. That little pony named Peruna will get himself a big brother, an actual mustang. All of which I offer as an explanation for why I was doing some Peruna research. Says here the little guy not only has tried to have intercourse with another mascot (Tech’s horse), but he’s actually killed another mascot (Fordham ram). I think this sort of behavior could be leveraged to increase attendance at games. You listening, June?

It also knocked Bevo to the ground once according to the great and powerful wiki. Pretty impressive.

Allow me to help a brother out.

Thanks, Big Bob. I had a suspicion that the Internet preferred to communicate through you.

It’s about damn time we got an actual mustang. I still don’t understand how we ended up with just a cute little occasionally dangerous and ill tempered pony for all these years.

As on Oklahoma State Alumni, I’m glad Pickens chose to give us more than a horse…

Does Culwell & Sons still take care of Peruna?

Thinking that a lowly Horned Frog rolls that pony on a regular basis.

Hawaii was the Rainbow Warriors way before Jones. And fans called them the ‘Bows for short.

He just dropped “Rainbow” and made the official name “Warriors.”
