May 2, 1928 | A funeral is held for Mex the Dog, who served as the OU mascot from 1919-28 and wore a red sweater with a white letter 'O' on the side. Old Mex was so beloved that the university closed for his funeral. He was buried in a small casket under the existing stadium.

Old Mex was succeeded by Ruf-Tuf, a bulldog who served as mascot for three football seasons starting in the fall of 1928.
Boomer, a brindle pup more nimble and adept at mascot tricks, came along in 1929.

Wish OU would put my favorite OU video out on Youtube or Soonervision. It's called The Run of 71.
Awesome season highlight film.
