Mascot Fight: Ohio University’s Mascot Attacks Brutus the Buckeye [UPDATE]
Ohio University’s mascot Rufus the Bobcat decided to attack Ohio State’s Brutus the Buckeye as he ran on the field. His first attempt was thwarted when Brutus lowered a shoulder into him. He took him to the ground with the second attempt, a cheap-shot takedown from behind. Really? None of the cheerleaders were willing to go in and bail him out? Good thing Rufus didn’t take out the I-dotter. He would have had to transfer and leave the state. Ohio University issued an apology. The student who dressed up as Rufus has been banned from affiliation with Ohio University athletics. [UPDATE: The student who dressed up as Rufus isn't even a student at Ohio U, and went out for the mascot gig just to take down Brutus the Buckeye.] [Bucknuts]

too funny. suspension/banned worthy. cant be throwing haymakers at Brutus and expect to get away easy
September 20th, 2010 at 2:48 PM
Ohio U needs to get their shit together too. Since when are you allowed to have a mascot whose name isn’t an alliteration example or a play on words?
September 20th, 2010 at 2:50 PM
That is awesome. While the boys are praying in the endzone the two idiot mascots are brawling. Sweet.
September 20th, 2010 at 2:51 PM
I hope it comes out that Rufus was liquored up, I can’t think of any other explanation.
September 20th, 2010 at 2:52 PM
It’s a new tradition before games for Rufus and Frank Solich to have a couple belts together
September 20th, 2010 at 2:52 PM
That was funny Brutus should have kicked his butt.
September 20th, 2010 at 2:53 PM
that has to be it. that was one of the dumbest things I have seen. hilarious, but pretty damn dumb.
September 20th, 2010 at 2:53 PM
Brutus is a pacifist. He’s Gandhi in a hot, furry suit.
September 20th, 2010 at 2:53 PM
I said it earlier. ill say it again. That dumb fucking bobcat runs into a crowd of running people trying to tackle a buckeye. Idiot could’ve hurt someone. what a shithead.
September 20th, 2010 at 2:54 PM
Rufus is lucky he didn’t try that with Sparty.
September 20th, 2010 at 2:54 PM

Mascot fights are awesome, though. Actually from this video angle. I guess the bobcat didn’t really run into a group of people. I agree with gods, the best part is the kids are trying to pray and these 2 knuckleheads are rolling around on the ground wrestling. epic.
September 20th, 2010 at 2:56 PM
I love that not one of the players is paying any attention to the mascot fisticuffs taking place just feet in front of them.

not to shit on Iowa (except that they suck) but Auburn showed ZERO heart in the first half and came back and won. that is probably worth more than showing heart in the second half and still losing. that first half by Auburn was one of the most pathetic halves of football I’ve seen.
September 20th, 2010 at 2:59 PM
The love that Oregon is getting is starting to piss me off a bit. They hammered 2 terrible teams and then beat the worst Tenn team in 30 years. Did people forget what happened last year at the Rose Bowl? If Ohio State loses a game and winds up playing Oregon in the Rose Bowl again, they will beat them to hell for the second year in a row. When Oregon plays a stout defensive line, they wilt like little bitches. Lucky for them, they won’t play one all regular season.
September 20th, 2010 at 2:59 PM
Did Nebraska beat them last year? I bet Nebraska beat them last year.

September 20th, 2010 at 3:01 PM
My favorite mascot story involved the Regina Pats and Moose Jaw Warriors. A bunch of Pats fans attacked the Warriors mascot and were kicking the crap out of it. The mascot’s mask fell off and it was revealed to be a woman!

Clemson’s QB been pronounced dead yet?
September 20th, 2010 at 3:03 PM
Just thinking about that game makes my body hurt. I wonder how Parker is feeling about now? That hit on McCalebb was gorgeous in the fourth quarter.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:04 PM
33-0…and it wasn’t even that close. If Iowa was truly a top-10 team, they would have beaten Arizona by 10 points.
Also, does anyone else think of Stan Van Gundy when watching Mike Stoops on the sidelines for AZ? They each look like panicky bitches even when things are going well.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:05 PM
In other Ohio news…brother’s penis attacks sister’s vag.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:06 PM
Yes, that Auburn-Clemson game was fucking brutal. Those guys just beat the hell out of each other. I just read that Parker will ok for Saturday’s game. I thought McCalebb was dead after that hit.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:06 PM
Gods, as an SEC guy just want to ask you: didn’t seem like Clemson was the faster and more physical team in the 2nd half? Helmet to the back aside?
September 20th, 2010 at 3:07 PM
Brutus is a pussy.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:07 PM
that was a straight up brutal game. some serious hitting going on. it’s a lot more fun to watch a game like that when you don’t have a rooting interest in either team and can just watch people get killed.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:08 PM
NDub: That hit was badass. I stood up in my den when it happened. Fucking awesome. I don’t see how Auburn wins this week against South Carolina after that kind of game.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:08 PM
You still haven’t showered or put a shirt on yet, have you? You’re on the couch using the dog as an ottoman, aren’t you?
September 20th, 2010 at 3:08 PM
security should have tased him on the spot. that would have been an epic ending to this skirmish.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:08 PM
there were 3 bone crushing hits on that play alone.
but hit of the week still goes to jewel hampton laying out that LB (no video yet).
September 20th, 2010 at 3:09 PM
Yes. They got after it. Auburn’s defense is not that good this year. I was pulling hard for Clemson in that game, too. I really hate Auburn.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:09 PM
You could really see the o-line’s intestinal fortitude when they gave up 4 straight sacks to end the game.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:10 PM
Yes! That dude hammered the LB on the blitz. That shit was awesome.
Ha! Un-showered, on the couch…but the dog refuses to be my ottoman, dammit. Working from home is EPIC!
September 20th, 2010 at 3:11 PM
Can they still field a team? I wasn’t really watching much of the game Saturday, but it seemed like everytime i looked at the TV the Auburn cart was on the field carting off some kid who just snapped his leg. Brutal game it looked like.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:11 PM
That was unreal. It looked like someone paid the offensive line to just not block anyone for 4 consecutive plays.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:12 PM

Only one AUB guy was carted off (he’s done of the year…starting OL). The other one was a Clemson player. South Carolina gets a huge break playing AUB the week after that prison-style brawl.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:12 PM
ferentz! best offensive line coach evar!!!
September 20th, 2010 at 3:13 PM
Whoops. Put it in the wrong thread.
Here’s the hit of the game, Spencer. Only news I want on Jewel is his knee and it being healthy. I’d trade his crushing block for a health knee in a second.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:13 PM
Jake Bequette about tearing off Aaron Murray’s head was pretty nice in my book.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:14 PM
Clempson is thanking the scheduling gods for having a week off before the Canes come to town.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:14 PM
Yeah. Ugly. No defending that kind of play here. Rick has to throw the ball up on 4th down, too. Just heave one out there.
Stoops dialed on 3 straight 6 man blitzes and we had no answer for it.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:15 PM
Are we getting a “let’s bash Jake Locker” thread? Where’s Cassino when you need him?
September 20th, 2010 at 3:16 PM
Did he have time? I don’t think he could have even if he wanted to. The pocket was never in existence.

What’s scary is that Nebraska is not as good as they looked Saturday. Locker was 4/20 for 71 yards, 1 TD (on a blown assignment) and 2 INTs. I do think Nebraska’s secondary is insanely good, though. Sadly, losing your top two LBs before a game was played will come back to haunt them at some point this year.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:21 PM
Fuck. Not going to enjoy this 3 game stretch for the Canes. Something tells me we are going to get Wannstache’d on Thursday night.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:23 PM
the Auburn/Clemson was the best hitting game of the weekend. i know the ABC crew wore that theme out during the game, but it was deserved.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:23 PM
You’re going to play poorly in the first half then come back and crush his soul in the 2nd and end up winning by 14? That sounds awesome if I were a Canes’ fan.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:23 PM
fuck you. brutus is the fucking man. er…nut. er…nut man.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:24 PM
Unless you’re an Iowa fan waiting for your game to come on and faggy SEC and ACC players keep lying on the turf, unable to pull their faggy bodies off the ground. That overtime took like 90 minutes it seemed. I was furious.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:24 PM
No SC, I meant we would get the result of the stache, play so shitty we render his horribleness null and void. Then Clemson, then F$U. I have zero confidence in this team right now.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:25 PM
It was on ESPN here.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:26 PM
Agree with all of this, they are worse than last year. And they sucked last year.
Now I’m reading things about how Iowa gagging (like I’m supposed to be surprised) means the Pac10 is for realz. Please.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:26 PM
Weak stuff. I think even Timmy could have beaten Rufus’ ass
September 20th, 2010 at 3:26 PM
Brutus at least looks slightly better than Penn State’s sock puppet, I swear that thing has actual buttons sewed on for eyes.

Oh, god, cleet, don’t put that in my mind. I won’t even be home til the game’s over but I feel OK about this one.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:33 PM
I bet there’s a mathematical formula that could be derived about how the longer a college football conversation goes on eventually every team/conference in the country is accused of sucking for some reason or another
September 20th, 2010 at 3:34 PM
why aren’t you blaming lane kiffin and his 0/3 attempts on 2 point conversions. if he went for 1 instead of being a fag, you woulda covered.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:35 PM
Sorry stark, I’m in complete and total arms flailing wildly over my head panic mode.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:35 PM
Because Nebraska has a defense worthy of being a top-10 team, for one. But I do think the Nebraska offense will come back to earth. They’ve played no one worth a shit defensively.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:36 PM
Never take a Thursday night road game for granted.

Husker are you worried about the Kansas State game? A lot of my friends who are Nebraska fans are seriously scared for this game. I am not sure if this is legit, or typical Nebraskan, lets hype the shit out of our opponents.

I’m hanging around, called for a 49er upset tonight which could help make up some ground…feels like one of those games where the home team comes out fired up, builds a little bit of a lead and then holds on for dear life

don’t be so presumptive on RR keeping his job. michigan’s still got the b10 to navigate through…where RR only has 3 wins in his career.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:45 PM
Last things first, it’s an epic embarrassment that Nebraska is playing South Dakota State. A fucking joke. What’s funny is that if they run the table (not happening, but hypothetically speaking) the SDS game will be the reason they will have no chance of passing Ohio State in the polls. Fuck them for that.
Re: Kansas State
Yes…very worried. For one, it is a Thursday night game on the road. Those always seem to end in disaster for the road team, especially when they’re ranked. Also, Daniel Thomas is the KSU running back and he’s a fucking beast…one of the best RBs in the nation. Nebraska is down to their second stringers at LB due to injury, and they have been susceptible to the power running game. Not good. That is also the game before the epic showdown with Texas. I am freaking out about that game, quite frankly.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:46 PM
Harbaugh would be a perfect fit at Georgia. And Miles is doing great for LSU. No one needs to take over that job. At all.
September 20th, 2010 at 3:49 PM
