It doesn't get the attention of Ralphie or Bevo, but UNC has their own live mascot for football games. A blue horned ram named Rameses. Well, they are given the title of Rameses after they take the mantle.The latest is actually named Pablo, but will now be known as Rameses XVIII. The 3 year-old ram ascended by killing his father -- the now deceased Rameses XVII.
Rameses and Pablo shared a field at Hogan's farm outside Carrboro. On April 13, they butted heads, as rams are occasionally wont. This particular collision was so jarring that it snapped off one of the older ram's horns.An infection set-in and despite the antibiotics, it wasn't enough. Rameses died 10 days later. Say what you want about a ram as opposed to a buffalo or a steer with regards to intimidation factors on the sideline. There is something fearsome about a mascot that takes over after killing the predecessor.
It's an 84 year tradition of one line of rams, that has apparently blown through them over the years. Admittedly nature plays a role. The lifespan of a ram averages only 10 years or so.

First!!
Its a good thing they are not in Colorado, the school would be charged with cruelty to animals. They have painted the horns blue...in Colorado a hair dresser can't dye her white dog pink for Breast Awareness Month without being charged, fined and jailed.
Think maybe his name should be changed to Rambunctious?
Second!
Are those his BALLS??? Yowza!!
We all seem to eat are young if they dont become what we couldnt
a300blr If this is true, how does Colorado justify leaving the FLDS members alone now that we all know how cruel they are to their sons, wives, and especially young girls who get pregnant at such tender ages as 10-15? How come Colorado doesn't arrest, fine, and jail them?
Could the painting of the horns possibly have weakened them? Over the years maybe the chemicals react to it and weaken the horns, which would be a human error in its death.
So if a ram is a lamb and a donkey is an ass why is a ram in the ass called a goose?
so sorry bull
Colorado City is in Arizona not Colorado. So maybe that's why they have not done anything about the FLDS.
...a goose? That quacks me up.
Hahahahaha
WHERE IS THE INDIANS MASCOT "SLIDER"?
In response to Wendy. There is a Colorado City in Colorado. It is halfway between Pueblo and Walsenburg on Route 25. I used to live there. However, she is correct, because this is not the Colorado City they are refering to in the news.
Thank You.
thats good, she doesnt need to dye her dog pink anyway, she can just dye her own hair pink
what a bunch of yahoos.
There is also a Colorado City in Texas, locatged between Snyder and Midland.
Sorry about the daddy ram killed by his son. I thought that it only happens to rich kids who kill their parents to get their inheritance.
