Things I learned about Bill the Goat today --
In 1968 Bill XVI, a gift from the United States Air Force Academy, died of accidental poisoning after weed killer was sprayed too closely to his pen.
Bill XVII, met the same fate in 1971.
I guess somebody didn't get the memo. Can't believe that happened twice in three years.

I was going to call "71" an "old goat", but now I feel bad.
Thanx Chip - we can always count on you to get our goat.

To be clear, it was the real goat mascot that died, not the human in the costume
