No BasketBRAWL?

According to a story in today's NYT, the NCAA is erring on the side of caution to avoid any MASCOT wrestling-matches during its March Madness tournament series.

Perhaps they are going too far. Last weekend, the mascot for the Texas Longhorns was reprimanded for patting a ref on the back and "standing up too often."

After a mascot death match on a court in 2003, when Utah's red-tailed hawk beheaded the Oregon Duck.

Maybe Hercules the 280 lb mutt could be the mascot for Oregon, since the duck lost his head. Not that Herc would be anything close to a dusk, but I'll bet that a hawk would have to work pretty hard to take the head off of that pup.
