What is it with mascots these days? When they’re not getting DUIs, they’re getting ejected from College Basketball games. Last night’s Tulane-Rice game featured such an occurrence and you won’t believe why the Rice Owl got send to the showers. He head-butted a referee. Seriously.

Here is the video from CBS Sports with Carter Blackburn and Pete Gillen on the call….

Now you don’t see that everyday, now do you? Mascots have certainly done worse to officials over the years, but that was pretty blatant. Those Owl mascots are fiesty ones!

If you were the coach of Ole Miss, how would you have responded to Johnny Long’s celebration?

Vote below
  • I would address it with the umpire to ensure fairness.
  • I would ignore the celebration and focus on motivating my team.
  • I would lodge a formal complaint after the game.
  • I would use it as a motivator to rally my team.
