====Originally submitted by Brad Johnson, Drake University, December 8th, 2010 ====

'''HISTORY:'''
There was a contest held on April 1, 1936 to name Drake's newly acquired mascot, the bulldog. The prize for winning the contest was one dollar. Mr. E. C. Lytton, a business man for the university, was the judge of the contest [1]. Don Marshall, of Toronto Canada, sent a pedigreed bulldog to Drake University, which was named "Butch", on March 20th [2].

'''SPIKE THE BULLDOG:'''
Spike has been the mascot of Drake University from 1930's to the present day. Spike the Bulldog is very connected to pop culture. Spike has his very own [[http:''www.facebook.com/pages/Spike-the-Bulldog/20064746032|Facebook page]] as well as a [http://twitter.com/TheDrakeBulldog|Twitter page]]. Spike also has his own "army". "[[http://www.godrakebulldogs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=15700&ATCLID=204783290|Spikes Army]]" is a program that gives a student points for going to athletic events, and at certain point levels students can redeem their points for food, clothes, gift cards, sporting and theater tickets, as well as coupons. Spikes Army not only has one Facebook fan page, but several [3][4]. In 2010, Spike placed 5th in the College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship. The event was held at [[http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/|Disney World]] from January 15-18. In that contest Spike performed a "Tribute to 2009" which had references to Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett, Patrick Swayze, Billy Mays, and Michael Vick. Spike also mimicked other mascots as well during the contest [5]. On February 1st, 2008 Drake students participated in the Iowa College and University Snow Sculpting Contest. The sculpture of Spike was carved out of a 10 foot tall block of snow [6]. There is also a [[http:''www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2201860888 Facebook group] to get Drake to actually chance its mascot from the Spike to Chuck Norris. There are 14 members in this group, which was created in 2006.
