Mascot Troubles

Thankfully I can take a moment to depart from my normal head-bashing when it comes to Kentucky news and focus on Ohio instead. Not sure why I keep looking to Ohio (other than getting to nag at Kelly and other Cincy friends) when I clearly hate Indiana and Tennessee more, but so be it.

This past weekend in Cincy, it seems the mascot got into some trouble when it snowed during the football game and fans starting chucking snowballs onto the field when the opposing team scored. Honestly, you mix drunk college students and a stadium full of snow and their team getting beat, I don't know what the problem is, or how they could expect otherwise. It's college, people, get the hell over it. Plus, at least it's safer than in Mexico when the U.S. Soccer Team was getting pelted with batteries. Snow melts, batteries leave welts.

Anyway, apparently the dude who dresses as the mascot forgot to adhere to the announcements telling everyone to stop throwing snowballs. He kept doing it, and so the cops finally arrested him in a way the recalls an episode of Cops or the '68 Chicago Convention. Shit, it was just some snowballs, let's keep our cool. Though it is great watching a mascot getting arrested and pinned down.

What I love is the girl in the background telling the guys to stop recording it, but she is clearly not leaving the scene.
