Butler celebrates as its bulldog mascot returns to work after an ACL tear
The most anticipated return of the college basketball season occurred on Saturday at Hinkle Fieldhouse in time for the Crossroads Classic against Indiana.
No, a player did not return to the Bulldogs' active roster. Rather, Butler Blue III, the school's mascot was back in action after rehabbing a torn ACL.
He arrived with great fanfare, too.

And Blue quickly became the toast of social media.
