Don't Mess with the Mascot!


It seems as though there was a bit of a scuffle this weekend at the WAC Tournament in Reno, Nevada. During Saturday night's Semi-Final between Utah State and New Mexico State, it appears that the mascots...well got into a bit of a shoving match.

As the story goes...a Nevada fan apparently offered the Utah State Mascot $100 to pull the mustache off of the New Mexico State's mascot. That didn't sit real well, and you can probably guess what happened next.

We couldn't resist posting this story for 2 reasons. 1 because it's funny as hell, 2 because there are 2 photos of said fight. It's better to read about it than talk about it, so enjoy.

Read the links to the story here (Denver Post)

And a little bit more here (Google and The Associated Press)

Here's the tail end of the fight, thanks to KOLO-TV in Reno...
Looks a lot tamer than it was when we read about it...
