Apparently the guy playing Rufus the Ohio Bobcat tried out for the position just to take out Brutus the Ohio St Buckeye. & now he’s banned from OU Athletics. WTH?

Funniest thing is he’s not even enrolled at Ohio U. He dropped out last year.

What? How can you try out if you’re not currently enrolled? :o

Awesome.

I love mascot fights. Norm, please start a fight with the Davidson mascot this year… please…

Norm might smear the Kitty’s new makeup. ;D

The funniest mascot fight video I saw was the Rhody Ram/SJU Hawk Inner Tube stunt. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find it, but putting an inner tube over the Hawk so he couldn’t flap his wings was clever humor.

Love that video. My favorite part is that he keeps moving the arms while fighting.

He went to the school last year. Evidently the school didn’t realize the dude wasn’t enrolled this year. and asked him to be the mascot again anyway. He’s evidently a student at Hocking College.

Norm beat down the kitty cat in Halton once before. The kitty cat had this stick horse and kept riding circles around Norm like Happy Gillmore. Norm warned him but the kitty cat didn’t listen and got a beat down. The cops had to come down and separate the two and take them into one of the tunnels.

So is the mascot of Hocking College a Loogie that someone hocked? :o
