In this promotional video for ESPN, GSP (thats what we call him in the biz) trains the Princeton Tiger and the UConn Husky to compete in the Octagon. The Ohio State Buckeye could have used this knowledge a few weeks back. Honestly, it's a little half-hearted, but got a few chuckles from the staff here at YMS. I mean really, what can you … [Read more...]
Wow, this last weekend seemed to be one for craziness in the college football world. Rufus Bobcat from Ohio University decided to try and take out Brutus Buckeye in front of Brutus' home crowd.

Uploaded to YouTube recently, but actually from 2008, Cocky from the South Carolina Gamecocks finds his demise at the hands of Andy Roddick. Cocky was doing nothing but minding his own business when he was viciously attacked and beaten by the tennis star. The video tells the tale... Cocky has met his match. By the way, The Gamecock is the … [Read more...]
I received a slew of email questions and requests after I posted the following animated picture of The Oregon Duck beating up on The Houston Cougar. It seems that not very many people know the story of this big event in mascot history. On September 1st 2007, one of the most famous mascot fights ever documented happened in Eugene Oregon … [Read more...]
You've probably already seen this, but here's the real story behind this mascot/ref battler. The mascot is Globie from The Harlem Globetrotters, and he takes out "the Referee" as part of the show in Cleveland. Real ref... no. Part of the Globetrotter show... yes. STILL HILARIOUS.
