Link: Ohio apologizes to Ohio State after mascot attacks Brutus Buckeye

[dWarriors88]

I wonder what that was all about??

 

[BamaFossil]

I'll play the bad cop role. I don't think it's cool at all. If nothing is done by administrations to nip this in the bud, it could get out of control. Girls and scrawny guys need not apply; the mascot guy will be a lineman from the scout team. Then someone gets hurt. Lawsuits start flying.

Yes, I laughed when watching the video. But I agree with the Ohio administration; that should be the last time that guy sees the inside of Ralph.

Reminds me of Big Al taking out Albert the Gator in a game, as well as the Cougar from Houston and Duck from Oregon going at it as well.

The Big Al and Gator fight was staged. That wasn't the real UF mascot. But it was hilarious.

 

[Airborne Tider]

I remember being at a Bama game one time when Big Al "took on" the Southern Miss eagle. I don't see the big deal. Mascots should mess with each other.

Yeah that was epic. It was like a 5 minute long skit worthy of WWE, with props and finishing moves. Classic.

the Oregon Duck fight is still my favorite

Turns out he wasn't even enrolled at Ohio University and had been planning the "attack" all along:

Well that's just even more awesome.

He was going for the rear naked choke for a submission win!:biggrin:

 

[THE BAMA IRISHMAN]

No apology necessary. Rufus the Wildcat is my new #2 behind Big Al!

BOBCAT Baby. Is there a difference? :biggrin:

Aah man, Felidae fail.

 

[liquidvengeance]

This is the best thing ever. Gawd I hate the "Uhio Stete" fan idiots
and their media braggarts who dont have a clue that the suck-eyes
arent anything and have never been anything.

 

[crimsonaudio]

Well that's just even more awesome.

Yep. Very good.

 

[FastChop]

Wow a premeditated attack…man that’s scary…Should Big Al have a body guard now? Are Hogs as dangerous as Wildcats?:biggrin:

 

[Samdog91]

I have to agree that the Duck's pelvis thrust in the face of the cougar is the all time pimp smack by a mascot.

But watching the Ohio mascot running out to take on the Ohio St mascot and the rest of the Ohio St team made me laugh at how daring he was. I could definately imagine him running on the field shouting LLLLLeeeeeeerrrrrrroooooooyyyyyy Jjjjjeeeeeennnnnkkkiiinnnsss!!! And that would have been epic.

exactly what I was thinking

 

[saraelizabethua]

I thought it was funny... but I can't help but think about the guy in that Buckeye suit. He probably couldn't see that it was even the other mascot wrestling with him! I would have been scared that I was being attacked by an angry fan or something.

 

[Heather]

Bwhahahahahaha that was so funny! I laughed till I cried!


They should have mascot wrestling matches!:biggrin:

 

[TommyMac]

Brutus? I think a name change is in order, maybe Maurice or Pierre?

 

[mittman]

I am waiting for the moral police to show up in this thread and talk about how awful this was.

Label me the moral police if you wish. I don’t think it is a fair label, but if my opinion falls into your definition so be it.

From what I saw the Ohio mascot did this on his own, just for a stunt to draw himself some attention. I think the Ohio response and apology was correct and well done.

I thought the Ohio State mascot handled it well.

Everyone has one’s own opinion and has a right to have it. I understand the fun in this and the enjoyment some get out of it. I understand the youthful college attempt at creating a legacy by some wild and over the top act.

Call me a stiff, but I just don't enjoy it, appreciate it, or even find it humorous.

Classic!
