Last Saturday, Ohio University played Ohio State University at football. It was a typical matchup of a perennial powerhouse against a sacrificial lamb that almost always happens in pre-conference play in college football. The result was predictable--Ohio State won the game 43-7, with Ohio's only offensive touchdown occurring well into the 4th quarter when OSU had sent its deep backups into the game.
What was NOT typical, however, was the behavior of OU's Mascot: The Bobcat.
Before the start of the game, as the two teams were running onto the field, OSU, led by its mascot, Brutus, witnessed the Bobcat tackle Brutus not once, but twice, and wrestle him to the ground.
It's become a popular viral video. And everyone outside of Ohio may have enjoyed a good laugh about it.
But not here in Ohio. And not us Buckeye fans.
You see, this person in the bobcat mascot costume may have thought it was funny to tackle Brutus. And he (or she) may have thought they might have scored some fan points for doing so. But I have a message for this person: There are 100 Buckeye fans to every Bobcat fan!! And we don't like what you did!
You deserved to lose your status as Ohio's mascot. I got your mascot battle right here, bitch!
