Ephs Mascot Featured on ESPN Commercial
Drury High School and Williams College grad James Dunn poses with a couple of props he picked up on set for an ESPN commercial. |
Sorry, Ali Fedotowsky (a.k.a The Bachelorette) but you’re old news. There’s another star hailing from the Village Beautiful, and yes…..it’s a purple cow.
The Williams College mascot is about to get a whole lot of face time, and the man behind the mask is a Drury High School graduate.
Beginning this Monday (September 13), ESPN will begin airing a College GameDay commercial featuring some of the most recognizable mascots in the country: the Florida Gator, Oregon Duck, Texas Tech Raider, Georgia Bulldog, Penn Quaker, Ohio State Buckeye and …
…..the Purple Cow from Williams College.
And who better to don the purple attire than Stamford, Vt. native and Drury grad James Dunn, who recently graduated from Williams. Dunn provides an entertaining personal account here from his trip to Long Beach, Calif.
This is all pretty exciting, wouldn’t you say? Among some of the biggest powerhouses in collegiate sports, and there’s the Division III Ephs, representing a quaint town nestled in the northwestern most corner of Massachusetts. But why? There’s a great back story, and The Boston Globe’s Bob Ryan has the scoop.
Ryan’s column is a great read, featuring plenty of local references sprinkled throughout, including a quote from Williams College information director Dick Quinn.
College GameDay host Chris Fowler poses with the mascots. Hmmmm....if you had to guess, which one is from the Division III school? |
