Here's the thing...and I know I will get slammed for this.
If the tables were turned...the same people who are thinking it is funny/cool/no big deal/whatever...would be screaming bloody murder. "Some dumb a&m, hillybilly, drop out, pos......." They would want to hang the guy by his "nuts" and throw garbage at him.
My opinion is, he does kind of make ou (who I like by the way, and I am an alum of Ohio State) look bad. But nobody was hurt, so no harm no foul. It will eventually fad away in a few days (except maybe on this thread, which I have enjoyed)
However, If I were an ou alum I would be wicked pi$$ed at this kid for a statement he made:
When he was told he was banned from being the bobcat he said "I don't really care". If the guy playing Brutus said that, I would want to know why in the heck my university selected someone who (in his own words) "doesn't care". That would be the most distressing part of this for me.
I can't fathom, for 1 minute, that there is not a line of ou students who would want to represent their university, and care about doing that job.
It was a stupid move on the part of this person. With that said, you and other Ohio State fans make me sick. Where were you calling for Alex Boone to be suspended after causing a wreck and being found guily of DUI.

You and the other Ohio State fans cheered him on after missing Zero Games. Boone has gone on to be arrested again for the same thing. Tressel allowed Albert Dukes to be on the Ohio State sideline during the Alamo Bowl after having been charged with having sex with a minor. I grew up an Ohio State fan in Columbus but the majority of the fans and Tressel looking the other way time and again makes me want to puke. So Clarett is living off campus in a high dollar apartment his freshman year and Tressel claims he did not know? It was clear he was an at risk person and you would think the position coach would be on top of things such as going to class.
Any yes, I think Solich should have missed games also after his DUI, just like the Ohio Players have in the same situation and just like Boone should have. I just get sick of Ohio State Fans who are hypocrites.
Ironically, I just met a Clemson grad the other day who brought up Woody Hayes. How many people did he punch before the Clemson Player? He punched a photographer at the 73 Rose Bowl and also hit the ABC Cameraman during the 1977 Michigan Game. OSU looked the other way time and time again.
