when I sat down tonight to punish this porcelain I started to think about Ohio States Mascot's new make over. In case you are not aware allow me to fill you in. Brutus Buckeye is the Ohio State Mascot and has been since I believe 1965. The Brutus I know and love looks something like
this, pretty bad ass right? As the symbol of a university you want your Mascot to look a lot like this, angry, strong, and a reflection of your university (ie the hat). Now I'm not sure when exactly but he was revamped not too long ago I want to say around 2007 atleast thats when I noticed this little SOB showing up everywhere
Newtus as I have dubbed him. WHAT?! whats this good sportsmanship and a smile? Not the Ohio State I know and love for instance take a look at
this notice the date 2003 old Brutus. Now I know what you are thinking: "Adam that isn't a real article" I am aware of that and if that wasn't good enough for you here is ex-Ohio State President Karen Holbrook's
quote. better for you? Karen says:
When you win a game, you riot. When you lose a game, you riot. When spring comes, you riot. African-American Heritage Festival weekend, you riot
Have any of you heard of one single riot at Ohio State since Newtus showed up? I didn't think so what is happening to this University and its Football fans? They aren't what they
use to be. it is a tradition that the old Brutus we all knew and loved
represented and I'm not going to let Newtus take that away from us. The question is are you just going to sit back and do nothing about this change of power...or are you going to stand beside me and together we can flip this car
