tmh8286 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 This is all amusing, but WAY too much is being made of it. Anyone with boys has seen ten times worse in their own living room. It's nothing more than youthful exuberance and adrenaline, with a little testosterone thrown in. I'm actually growing weary of the all the coverage this is receiving.

ORUTerry Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I agree with Tim.... it seems a bit overblown. Imagine - two college age boys/young men tussling in animal costumes. What is so strnage about that? I do think the IUPUI mascot was trying to create a scene to draw attention to himself - and it worked. I also agree with Blue..... it is publicity for ORU.

goldeneagoal Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 College Game night on ESPN2 just showed a 10 second clip (in between game highlights) of the fight and they said the ORU mascot has been suspended for 1 game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmh8286 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 It DID appear that Jawz was looking for trouble, and Eli took the bait. But it takes two to tango, so Eli's not blameless. I still don't think that DISCIPLINE of either party was really indicated. I think keeping that particular kid out of the suit for the rest of the season is AMPLE. More than that is really overkill and totally unfair, to either mascot. In our PC, overly sensitive, feminized world, he probably got hammered. If he did, I'll be first in line to send a letter of complaint to the powers that be. A stone-cold pick that flattens two players, leaving both with cobwebs in their heads and one groggy for half a game is perfectly alright, because it occurred during the game, but a couple of boys tussle a little bit on a time out and it becomes the biggest story of the game. Come on! Show me video of Lewis taking that charge from Hill - that was the high point of the game! Not a couple of kids in animal suits!

ORUTerry Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Every year we get lots of love.... this publicity is priceless. I have to think our athletic department is thrilled; he may be suspended, but we may be giving him 'high fives' behind closed doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmh8286 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Wish I could see it, but I'M AT WORK! Where are the rest of you characters??? Obviously, here at TOURNAMENT TIME, there's not enough real SPORTS NEWS to fill their show with, so they use this fluff to kill time. Good grief!!

ORUalum Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Jay Mariotti said the mascot should be suspended from the NCAA tourney. Woody Page said you don't punish the other two people who wear the costume. Woody got the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orumom Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'm glad Woody Page got the point. A mascot fight doesn't make you evil (even if you are a Christian institution) and the other two students who wear the costume shouldn't be punished for the actions of one.
