i still want to know how many cases of Natti Light Rufus got for his stunt on saturday

You guys need to begin conference play already. The fact that this thread is 4 pages long is crazy. Who cares what the mascots do?

I'm going to a Georgia game and I'm gonna fake throw a tennis ball all day until Uga becomes a neurotic mess!!!

Maybe we should start a special cemetery for mascots. We can start with Rufus.

I think Brutus is taking Rufus fishing at Tahoe this weekend.

Said the guy who's school has a special cemetery for mascots when they die.

Excellent counter argument. Of course the fact that IT'S AN ACUTAL LIVE DOG vs. a Student in a suit matters little...correct?

Our Anthropmorphic mascot is Harry Dawg. And if he was tackled by OOC opponent mascots, I promise we wouldn't demand a refund.

But our mascot is a nut. So I ask you, would you rather have someone kick your dog, or kick your nut?!

You're saying you can't put him into a bag and toss him in the river like we do with ours?

So in Georgia they care more about dogs than college students. Explains a lot.

Looks like he jumped him while he was praying in the endzone.

Classy.

Apparently the guy inside Rufus wasn't even a student at Ohio U.

 

[JCOSU86]

it was also initiated right in the middle of the team running on the field, which is a tradition for all college teams, not some harmless antics on the sidelines during a timeout in the third quarter

This is a very good point. Pretend dust-ups between mascots happen all the time and is no big deal. In fact, I think it's quite funny. But in the middle of leading the team on to the field?

Being a mascot can be Dangerous Bizness. I remember a guy at my high school who was Barney Rubble at King's Dominion. Someone kicked his knee in and completely wrecked it, and by the time his handlers realized he was passed out and not simply sitting on a bench, he had heat stroke as well.

He was never the same after that. Last I heard, he was going into the ticket reselling business.

Brandon Hanning, the person in the Rufus costume, said he was not upset with the aftermath.

"It was the whole reason I tried out (to be Rufus) last year," he said. "I knew we were going back to OSU this year, and I wanted to tackle Brutus."

Hanning, 19, is a student at Hocking College. He enrolled at OU last year but dropped out, he said. He added that he still hadn't been informed of his firing, but didn't care.

Ohio coach Frank Solich said he did not know much about the situation.

"Obviously we needed to tackle the guy with the ball, not the mascot," he said.
