The Cincinnati Bearcat was arrested today during the Cincy-Pitt game. (Alternate title per Cursed – “Bearcat Mascot Loses His Head”) Details and a great picture after the jump!

Per ESPN:

A school spokesman says the mascot also was told to stop throwing snowballs in the stands and pushed a security guard, knocking both of them to the ground. The mascot was detained and cited. He was not identified.

A backup mascot took his place at halftime.

Awesome.

Before I go, let me bring everyone’s attention to this Gizmodo post. Please turn your damn cellphone sideways when you’re shooting a video.
