Boston University mascot, Rhett is firing back at claims of “switching up” post public appearance with Baldwin, Boston College’s mascot. 

Rhett and Baldwin were first spotted strutting down Comm Ave, “all fierce like”, as described by bystanders. Rhett and Baldwin were then spotted together on Snap Maps a handful of times and then ultimately sniped by an eagle eyed YikYaker. Actually you know what, I’ve definitely seen Rhett on the Boston College line more than once. Girl, Really? You let him put you on the T? Ok whatever, I guess. 

It seems that after years of rivalry, the two enemies decided to put their weapons down and get to know one another. Close friends of Rhett reveal that the hockey game sightings began to feel empty and he needed something to fill him. Or fulfilling. I don’t know.

A rep for Rhett reveals that the relationship is new and that they’re taking it slow. We reached out to Baldwin the Eagle for comment and were given a link to the song “yes and” by Ariana Grande.

Their relationship doesn’t come without conflict. Rhett’s loyal fans have been fuming. 

“Rhett is our mascot. It doesn’t look right that he’s sleeping with the enemy” says Ben Dover (CAS ‘29).
“I love Rhett, but he’s a traitor and he’ll burn in hell for this” says someone who clearly cares too much about college hockey.

In a statement posted to his Instagram story, Rhett reassures his loving fans, “Y’all know I’m Terrier Down”. It was posted with the background of baby Rhett holding a BU flag. Aww.

Though the overwhelming public opinion has been negative, there are still supporters for their relationship.

“I’m happy for Rhett, he deserves love, too” says Mike Hunt (COM ‘27) 

“Honestly this is none of our business. I don’t care who’s dick my school’s mascot is riding” says Hugh Jass (CFA ‘26)

“All this talk about Eagles and Dogs is reminding me of how we were soaring like an eagle until I dogged you. I want you to BC how sorry I am. You’re BU-tiful.” says Dick Hertz (QST ‘29). 

Hopefully the tide of public opinion will soon turn our lovebirds’ way! Wait what’s that, Rhett is now facing backlash for using AAVE in his statement. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
