Mascots gone bad

Faithful followers of the Blob ("Plural? Really?" you're saying) know it's an unrestrained Mascot Zone in good standing. If it has huge hands and feet and a massive head and sometimes fur, it's aces in these precincts.

Alas, sometimes this means taking the good with the bad. And so here is your Mascot Malfeasance for the first weekend of college football, in which the Jackson State mascot, Cocky the Tiger, inserts himself into the proceedings as a Jackson State receiver and a Bethune-Cookman defensive back wrestle for the ball in the end zone.

In the end, it was ruled a J-State touchdown. And Cocky got flagged for excessive mascot-ery, er, unsportsmanlike conduct.

Also too many men on the field, come to think of it. OK, so the right number of men and too many guys dressed in tiger suits on the field.

But how about that school spirit, boys and girls!
