Pioneer Pulse is a blog about University of Denver men's basketball by Brendan Loy, a Denver attorney, veteran blogger and erstwhile journalist. Brendan is an alum of USC journalism school and Notre Dame Law School, but is a long-time fan of mid-major basketball. Brendan is on Twitter and Flickr. More about him here.

The official mascot of Pioneer Pulse is a stuffed basketball named DU Bally. He's painted in DU colors, and has a "D" for Denver on his back. DU Bally is the first cousin, twice removed, of Bally B. Basketball, who is the mascot of Kyle Whelliston's Mid-Majority. There are more than a hundred such stuffed basketballs floating around the country, owned by fans of Whelliston's site. Background here. You can view more photos of DU Bally here.
