Gun Rock was a son of the legendary Racehorse Man O' War . In 1921 , he was brought by the U.S. Army Cavalry to the campus of University Of California, Davis , which was Breeding horses for the Cavalry at the time. in 1924 , he was adopted as the official Mascot of the men's Basketball team and accompanied the team to games and rallies. Later, a traditional mascot was created and named Gunrock by the students. That mascot persisted into the 1970s , when he was replaced by ''Olli the Mustang''. Olli did not last long, as a period of confusion about the school's mascot and nickname set in, lasting into the first Decade of the 21st Century . In 2003 , after the school's official mascot was officially identified as the mustang, the name ''Gunrock'' returned. |
