Rameses Is Dead: UNC’s 18th Rameses mascot dies
Rameses, whose unmistakable Carolina blue horns are a staple at UNC football games, died Thursday evening of natural causes.
The 18th Rameses will be buried at Hogan’s Magnolia View Farm. Every ram has been cared for by the Hogans since it became the University’s official mascot in the 1920s.
The ram was 8 years old, a typical lifespan of the horned dorset breed, said Ann Leonard, one of Rameses’ caretakers. She is the wife of Rob Hogan, a third-generation Rameses keeper who died in 2010.
“People love the ram, he’s a symbol and tradition for the University and for this family,” Leonard said.
