I was hoping for an Austin Peay-IUPUI tournament game, I can't lie.

Mostly I'm posting to use the mascot-on-mascot tag, and to make jokes about Oral Roberts. Oral Roberts! I mean, the jokes write themselves. Yesterday in the Summit League final, Jawz the Jaguar (representing for IUPUI) and Eli the Eagle (representing for Oral Roberts & the only Sutton family member goin' to the the Big Dance) got into it on the court. They were both ejected.


Makes me kind of wish I'd watched the Summit League final, frankly.

"i wouldn't fuck with a mascot named chanticleer."

From Every Day Should Be Saturday, the James Madison Duke takes on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleer during the weekend's JMU/CCU game. I give this mascot-on-mascot violence a 4/10; sure, the Chanticleer is kind of a wimpy mascot, but there's also no teabagging like there was in the Duck/Cougar violence.

Personally I'm waiting for for the Tulsa Golden Hurricane to take on the Tulane Green Wave; we might even get a whole new color and weather pattern out of the ensuing brawl. Or anything involving the Syracuse Orangeman! Because honestly: can you really look at me and tell me that watching a dude in a big orange suit fighting, say, the Georgetown Hoya wouldn't make you laugh? I think not. Instant hilarity, right there.

"I punched a Paulus in Durham just to see him cry?"

For the record: we here at What Would Tyler Hansbrough Do? are very sad to hear Duke actually won a football game today! We were hoping Duke would go winless until next year, and get the record-tying 34th loss against Northwestern. Of course, we would celebrate such a momentous event with our dear friend Jack Daniels, present in our home and our hearts for all occasions of this ilk. All occasions, period.

I would write more on this topic, and how dex. and I have become sort of obsessively enamored with this college football season, but we're watching duck-on-cougar action, and well. It's really satisfying, is all.
