Yes but I can’t unsee Lil’ Red. 

 

Fun - and true - story that you might appreciate.

 

We were at the Missouri game in Columbia in 1999.  We were sitting in the south end zone and the Husker cheerleaders were near the southeast corner of the field in front of us.  I happened to look that way just in time to see several of the male cheerleaders - who were not small fellows - go sprinting up the sideline behind the benches.  Looking that direction I saw what they were headed for in such a hurry: a bunch of (drunk) Missouri students had pulled Lil Red halfway into the student section and were attempting to throw punches at him.  Given their drunken state and the bubble of protection I don't think they did much harm in the short time before the cavalry arrived and rescued Lil Red but it was interesting to see.  The entire second half was a parade of Missouri students being escorted out of the stadium by security.

 

I think of that scene pretty much every time I see Lil Red.

That's hilarious, but was probably terrifying for whoever was inside it.

Not lil Red related but I saw Boilermaker Pete and the Toledo Rocket get in an actual brawl.  Started with normal mascot high-jinx but escalated into punches being thrown and heads being ripped off.  Security was called and they had to be separated.  I like lil Red more than Boilermaker Pete

LoL....bubble of protection.
