Molly B died March 5. She was 26 years old. The beloved mule had been an integral part of SAU sporting events, activities, school spirit and identity since she was given to the University by then-Agriculture Department Chair Dr. James Tollett in 1993.
According to Tollett, Molly B was 6 years old when she came to SAU to rally for the Muleriders. Molly B's temperament and energy served the university well in her 20 years.
