Re: Mascots tackling mascots
I have to admit, I laughed at this one. Yes, it's horrible sportsmanship on the part of junior jerk, but the fact that while it's being considered by some as the "best tackle OU got that day" by many, it STILL took this kid jumping on Brutus' back and riding him like a pony to finally get him down. and the "WTH" deal with Brutus at the end was classic.
Yeah, stupid, childish and completely immature, but trust me, I lived through 3 of the OU halloween parties while there on campus (first year at a branch) and this is nothing compared to some immature jerk stuff you'd see on that campus. Or any campus for that matter.

I chuckled. If Rufus had actually "blind sided" him I'd have rolled on the floor. Rufus came almost straight at him, he even "broke down" so Brutus couldn't juke him.

Funny how Buckeye fans want assault charges filed but many will uphold this:

Please show me a quote where I mentioned anything about hitting women? I brought up a hypothetical that relates to the topic because it is a very possible one.

Women typically want equal treatment. I don't think there's even a story to be told there. It's completely irrelevant to the topic. It's just a way to justify hypersensitivity.
It is relevant, you just choose to ignore it and revert back to the "sensitivity" argument, which is complete assumption on your part.

It's not relevant. We're talking about what a mascot did and you're trying to make this about pushing down women. It's a silly argument.

You are trying to make into about pushing down women, I simply used it as a distinct POSSIBILITY. Just one example of why it was an idiotic and irresponsible thing to do. You are just trying to deflect away from the argument itself.
Having said that, I'm done. You can have the last word as I respect this board too much to continue on. I always enjoy reading your posts in the ORG and hope there are no hard feelings. We can just agree to disagree. :thumbup:

Btw, if you didn't laugh at the mascot video you seriously need to lighten up. It was amazingly funny.
It's not like the Bobcat was beating the crap out of Brutus. He brought him down, then Brutus got up and he followed him into the endzone and the Bobcat jumped on him again, and while they were on the ground he threw some playful "punches" (and they weren't punches) in on him.
Saying that was assault is an insult to assaults everywhere.

I don't understand how I'm the one that was trying to deflect and make it about pushing down women when you're the one that brought it up to begin with. But eh, whatever. As you said, agree to disagree.
I don't get the issue but I suppose I appreciate the back and forth nonetheless.
No hard feelings here. Promise :)
Re: Mascots tackling mascots
I just watched it again and my favorite part is when the Bobcat is running after Brutus. Also the annoying women yelling "BOO" is pretty funny too.

BUCKEYES BUZZ: Just when you thought the battle between Rufus the Bobcat and Brutus Buckeye was a dead issue, it turns out head coach Jim Tressel has more to say on the subject.
“I was standing at the National Anthem and I heard some of our guys talking, ‘Hey, did you see that mascot?’ And I’m thinking, you’re thinking about the mascot?” Tressel said with a laugh Tuesday at his weekly news conference. “I didn’t know it was live (tackling of) mascot week.”
As an update, he added an injury report on Brutus.
“I saw Brutus over at the Block O event last night and asked him if he was going to be ready for Saturday,” Tressel said. “He’s probable.”
Clearly a very serious issue.
Re: Mascots tackling mascots
I am a huge Ohio State fan and I have to say this is hilarious. The fact that he planned this for a year and only became the mascot to beat up Brutus is the best part about it. If you don't find this funny you probably need to lighten up.

Thanks for the insult. :thumbup:
I don't think it was funny and I don't need to "lighten up". For the exact reason you think it is funny, I find it to be in poor taste.
Simple rules to live by:
1. Treat other people how you would like to be treated
2. Keep your hands to yourself
3. Treat women with respect (he did not know if Brutus was a woman)
I would like to thank everyone that decided that to point out how people who don't find it funny need to "lighten up". You as the guardians of comedy have made me see the light.
The bar for humor has been lowered. You can now go back to your "Jackass The Movie", or whatever low brow humor floats your boat. When the TV show "Ow, My Balls" comes out I am sure it will get high ratings in your houses.
I am done with this topic as well. You guys can have the last word, and can go back to your endorsement of stupidity and lack of decorum.

Brutus was smiling the whole time. What's the big deal?
