It was a fucktard statement and I have a hunch he was really referring to the much larger university a little further down US 33.

I had my own experience with the Ohio mascot many, many years ago. My team (Kent State) played at OU. I was the drum major of the KSU Marching Band. I had to go on the field for something, and I saw the mascot running towards me with a toy football in his arm. Just as a joke, I tackled him. No one got hurt, it was all in fun, and we both got a good laugh out of it. Problem was that the game was being televised on ABC and our little incident was caught on camera. For weeks after that, I had to explain to many people that no, the mascot and I were not fighting and that it was a harmless prank. At any rate, I never did that again.

Maybe he meant the local ABC station was filming it for highlights.

Considering FWK is getting up there in years, it wouldn't surprise me if it was one of the games from 1951-1984 that was either under the NCAA or the CFA (1 nationally televised game a week, of which the NCAA had its pick and there was no debate) to the more likely regionalized broadcasts that spawned right before the CFA fell apart after Notre Dame signed with NBC.

Not everything was the same decades ago. Hell, SMU at one time was a powerhouse and Florida was nothing more than a joke in football. Things change.

Too seriously??? Think about this pin head.....Some how a non-student at Ohio University gets in the official Bobcat mascot costume. He walks around FREELY on the floor of the Ohio State football stadium where there are 2 football teams and coaches, cheerleaders, marching bands and over 100,000 fans. Most mascot costume are WAY more bulkier. If a non-student, why not a terrorist and a bomb in a mascot costume?

KABOOM.......10's of thousands of people dead and injured. WAY more simple than a shoe bomb on an airplane.

I'm willing to bet there are 100's of colleges looking at there stadium security issues after this crazed Hocking in the hills kid got into Ohio stadium as a fictitious mascot.

He was an OU student, got the mascot job, dropped out of OU and went to Hocking and sort of just fell through the cracks among the thousands of other OU students. Also, mascots are about as low as you can get in the athletic department, so not really on anyone's radar there.

As I mentioned elsewhere, determining student status in the first 2 weeks of the quarter is a bitch.

Class enrollments are still wide open, so a student can go from enrolled to not enrolled in a matter of seconds. Nothing is really locked in until after 10 days into the quarter (they had only had 9 days of classes at that point). When I taught courses, I'd always have someone with something fucked up in financial aid, so they couldn't enroll until it was cleared.

Is that an excuse? No... but I do understand it to an extent.

Like I said....another pin head. You obviously need another 9/11 attack to clear your head. Maybe the problem is you were only 10 when the twin towers came down.
